A unit company of Panasonic Corporation of North America (PNA), Panasonic Computer Solutions Company (PCSC) manufactures and markets reliable Toughbook® notebook computers nationwide. Committed to research and innovation, Panasonic remains as one of the only core manufactures in the world today. Panasonic is also the only major manufacturer that designs, builds and tests its laptops in its own factory. This position in the marketplace gives PCSC direct control over the product design process. As a result, the Toughbook brand is the leading name in rugged and reliable mobile computers. During the past two decades, Toughbook mobile computers have integrated new communication technologies and performed beyond the limitations of conventional notebooks.

Panasonic has a rich history of innovation in mobile computing. Through the development and manufacturing of the Toughbook line of notebooks, Panasonic was the first manufacturer to:

• Create rugged notebooks in a standard form factor and in a convertible tablet
• Integrate CD-ROMs into notebooks
• Encase LCDs in magnesium alloy
• Engineer ruggedness into desktop replacement, thin-and-light and ultraportable notebooks (business-rugged) with shock-mounted hard drives, magnesium alloy cases, spill resistant keyboards, integrated optical drives and embedded wireless solutions
