Panasonic has done it again, delivering a new Panasonic Toughbook 31 rugged notebook that can handle shock, vibration, water and more all so that demanding professionals can get to work with the right tools.

Panasonic Toughbook update

The updated Toughbook 31 gains the latest 2nd Gen Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors higher RAM and hard drive capacities, ATI Radeon HD 6750 GPU options as well as a brighter screen which is easier to read in sunlight. The new Toughbook 31 also packs in the ability to last 20 hours with a media bay battery.

The Toughbook 31 has a 13.1” touchscreen display which is rated for 1200 nit brightness all the way down to 2 nits. This huge range of brightness is important for use in bright sun as well as the ability to use the display without exposing yourself at night, which Panasonic notes is important for military and public safety uses. There is a stylus tucked into the handle, allowing for better touch input.
