mobile professional demands flexibility and durability in addition
to power and full functionality,” said Kyp Walls, director of
product management, Panasonic System Communications Company of
North America. “We engineered the Toughbook C2 to go where our
customers go and to do whatever they need it to do, without the
concerns that are inherent with a less reliable notebook or
tablet.”
Semi-Rugged Durability
Offering improved ruggedness over previous models of its type,
the Toughbook C2 is designed to withstand a wide variety of work
environments. Its magnesium alloy case and shock-mounted
flex-connect hard drive allow it to handle up to a 30-inch drop to
six sides, as well as a 12-inch drop from 26 angles. The computer

Specialized Features for Healthcare Users
The Toughbook C2 is built to be the ideal mobile point-of-care

need for recharging or docking, while its combination of bridge
battery and optional lightweight battery offers professionals an
even lighter alternative while still allowing for continuous
uninterrupted use. The redesigned hand strap allows it to be
carried comfortably for long periods of time. Its fanless design
means no air is drawn in or out of the device, minimizing the
spread of airborne pathogens.
