New Toughbooks for the boardroom

If you like the idea of an 'unkillable' laptop but can't justify the $6000+ expenditure, Panasonic has announced three new Toughbooks for reglar business users.
The Toughbook CF-53 ($2199), Toughbook S10 ($2349) and Toughbook CF-C1 Mk2 ($3299) are lightweight 'semi-rugged' business models that aim to keep repair costs down.
Mark Wallis, Group Manager, for Toughbook Australia said; "Australian businesses simply cannot afford to invest in a mobile device that is vulnerable to everyday bumps, knocks and spills that put  productivity, company data, sales and customer satisfaction at risk.”
The new models mark a further expansion of the Toughbook range from specialised industries to the boardroom. In recent months, Panasonic has extended its Toughbook range to include the Toughbook Android Tablet.
