No compromise since 1996

Panasonic TOUGHBOOK doesn’t just lead the rugged computing market – we created it.

Since 1996, from our purpose-built factory in Kobe, Japan, we've committed ourselves completely to setting the standard in rugged laptops and tablets, refusing to compromise on the quality of our technology.

To guarantee you the ultimate in rugged mobility, and to maintain our position as Europe’s undisputed market leader, we apply key principles to everything we do.

Mobility is complex. TOUGHBOOK gives you the perfect balance.

To perform at their best, critical front-line workers require a complex blend of mobile hardware, software and services. TOUGHBOOK achieves a perfect balance of rugged capability, long battery life, connectivity, ergonomic design, security and portability, always helping you work smarter, not harder.

Why mobility is complex What to consider when buying mobile devices

Some devices become rugged late in life. TOUGHBOOK is born that way.

For more than a quarter of a century, we’ve been developing notebooks, tablets and handhelds that are rugged from the inside out. Based on a deep understanding of what first responders need, and Panasonic’s electronic engineering experience, every TOUGHBOOK has our trademark rugged technology at the heart of its DNA.

TOUGHBOOK engineering secrets What makes a TOUGHBOOK tough?

Because your challenges are the toughest, our testing is the same.

It’s no accident that TOUGHBOOK has the lowest failure rates in the market. We’ve never underestimated the extreme demands of mobile working. Tested to military standards (MIL-STD) and industry guidelines, our technology is resistant to drops and shock, water, vibration, extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference and much more.

We lead the world in rugged technology. But your voice guides our way.

TOUGHBOOK has a unique relationship with its customers. Their voice has a direct influence on the design decisions we make, helping us evolve the innovative rugged technology that is our hallmark. By listening to them, we’ve equipped our rugged notebooks and tablets with durable, portable, mobile technology that overcomes the challenges field workers encounter in their professional lives.

To guarantee constant connectivity. We leave nothing to chance.

We’re confident that the connectivity of our rugged devices is unmatched in the industry. Why? Because we design and test our antennae to the highest possible standards in our own anechoic and radiation measurement facility in Kobe, Japan.
