TABLET PC UPGRADED
Panasonic has announced upgrades to Toughbook H2, a rugged handheld tablet PC for mobile workers. The MIL-STD-810G1 and IP651 certified device gets a faster processor, expanded storage, and other improvements, while retaining critical features like the ability to survive a 6-ft drop.
Key Improvements include the Intel Core i5-3427U processor (up to 2.8GHz) with Turbo Boost technology. Storage is by way of a 500GB, 7200-rpm hard drive (shock-mounted flex-connect with hard drive heater) with optional 128GB SSD. Battery life has been improved with twin, hot-swappable batteries that deliver 7 hours of uninterrupted work per MobileMark 2007 testing.
Intel Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth v4.0 + EDR (Class 1) is standard on all models. Integrated wireless broadband options include 4G LTE or 3G Gobi and dedicated GPS.
The 3.5-lb Toughbook H2 runs the Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (32- or 64-bit) operating system and includes optional integrated technology such as barcode, fingerprint, insertable or contactless SmartCard/RFID readers. USB 3.0, serial, and Ethernet ports are standard. Panasonic says the 10.1-in. XGA LED transflective touchscreen with CircuLumin technology allows for full-circle viewability from the brightest sunlight to pitch darkness.
The Toughbook H2 is backed with a three-year limited international warranty.
