Panasonic Toughbook CF-74

Designtechnica is talking about the upcoming release of the Toughbook CF-74 from Panasonic.

The new Panasonic Toughbook CF-74 will have a starting price of $2,999 and should be available in April.

The Toughbook CF-74, said Panasonic, is built with a magnesium alloy case, integrated handle, spill-resistant keyboard, daylight-readable 13.3” screen and battery life of approximately seven hours. Features, depending upon the configuration, can include the Intel Core Duo Processor T2400, an 80GB shock-mounted hard drive, SDRAM (DDR2) expandable to 4GB, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2, a DVD-ROM/CD-R/RW combo drive, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection and finger print scanner.

The magnesium case, integrated handle and spill resistant keyboard is great. The seven hour battery life is even better. The 13.3 inch screen is a little small, but readable. The cost is just what kills it for me, as I don’t see how most people are going to be able to afford such a pricetag.
