Panasonic Introduces the Toughbook® 53 – Lighter, More Versatile Next Generation Semi-Rugged Notebook
10 Maggio 2011 - 3:00PM
Business Wire
Panasonic Solutions Company, provider of collaboration,
information-sharing and decision-support solutions for government
and commercial enterprises, today announced the Toughbook 53, a 14”
High Definition LED display, semi-rugged notebook. Starting at only
5.6 pounds and delivering up to 10 hours of battery life, the
Toughbook 53 provides mobile professionals, such as inspectors and
claims adjusters, a highly reliable and versatile device that
delivers high performance computing. The latest in the line of
products that created the semi-rugged category, this new notebook
is the first Toughbook device offering optional 4G LTE mobile
broadband and a host of other features designed to improve
productivity and maximize return on investment.
Desktop-Class Performance with Rugged Reliability
The Toughbook 53 is powered by a second generation Intel® i5 or
i3 processor and maintains the ruggedness Panasonic’s customers
have appreciated with the current semi-rugged line. The Toughbook
53 is designed to survive 30” drops on six faces, features a
spill-resistant keyboard and passes nine MIL-STD-810G tests. The
Toughbook 53 is also the first Panasonic notebook to support a high
definition LED display and offers an optional 2-800 nit
sunlight-viewable Panasonic CircuLumin™ touchscreen plus an
adjustable backlit emissive keyboard, making the Toughbook 53 the
ideal candidate for use in any lighting condition. Panasonic has
also increased the size of the touchpad by 25% while giving it
multi touch with zoom and scroll capabilities. The Toughbook 53
also offers USB 3.0, VGA, HDMI and an SDXC slot for even greater
flexibility.
“The next-generation Toughbook 53 was designed with a
substantial amount of customer input and is the result of
Panasonic’s goal to offer the most functional and reliable devices
for today’s mobile workforce,” said Kyp Walls, director of product
management, Panasonic Solutions Company. “The Toughbook 53 is ideal
for mobile professionals in industries such as insurance,
construction and field service, where a standard commercial-grade
laptop does not provide sufficient durability. Panasonic has added
enhanced features to this new device providing added flexibility
for professionals who spend a significant amount of time working
from the road.”
Embedded Wireless Connectivity
The Toughbook 53 offers a variety of embedded wireless
technologies, including Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, optional Bluetooth®
2.1 and Gobi2000™ 3G mobile broadband technology from Qualcomm. The
device is certified on the Sprint and Verizon Wireless 3G networks,
allowing workers to stay connected at all times. The 53 is also the
first member of the Toughbook family to offer embedded support for
4G LTE networks, with certifications coming later this year.
Integrated Options for Mission-Critical Computing
The Toughbook 53 also delivers an optional dual antenna
pass-through for in-vehicle use in passenger cars and light-duty
trucks, perfect for professionals whose vehicles regularly serve as
mobile offices.
The Toughbook 53 also offers options for an integrated webcam,
plus fingerprint and SmartCard readers for enhanced security.
Enhanced connectivity includes options for FireWire, 56K modem or
2nd LAN port.
