Panasonic has announced major updates to its business-rugged notebook computer line with the introduction of the thin-and-light F8 and upgrades to the T8 and W8.
The F8, T8 and W8 all come with a Gobi 3G mobile broadband system that allows connection to high-speed mobile Internet services offered by leading network operators virtually anywhere in the world.
F8 is being called the world’s lightest 3G-ready notebook with a 14.1 inch wide display and an internal optical drive. Weighing 3.7 pounds, the Toughbook F8 has an integrated handle for maximum portability. With the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of RAM, bright widescreen LCD and a 160GB shock-mounted hard drive, the new F8 is the ideal tool for the road warrior who needs both an extremely portable and high performance PC.
The W8 is an Ultraportable Notebook with 12.1 inch screen and 7 hours battery life. The T8 is similar and is billed as a lightweight Tablet PC Alternative.
The 8 Series business-rugged products offer a range of embedded wireless options, including 802.11a/b/g/draft-n and Bluetooth 2.0.
The 8 Series Panasonic Toughbook notebooks will be available beginning in November 2008 with a price tag of $2,099 for the W8 and T8 and $2,499 for the F8.
