Day in and day out, you're continuously driving under challenging road conditions. Your notebook rides with you through it all...bumps, bounces, everyday wear and tear. If your notebook cannot withstand the necessary rigors of an in-vehicle operation, you will not be able to efficiently and effectively do your job the way it should be done.

The vibration inherent in moving vehicles can wreak havoc on average notebooks. Demand for in-vehicle computing solutions continues to grow. Through advanced testing, Panasonic confirmed that Toughbook 29 proves to be more capable of operating successfully under these conditions.

According to the TBR Damage Survey, the leading causes of notebook damage are drops and spills.¹


Shock-mounted HDDs
All Toughbook hard disk drives are mounted in shock-absorbing polymer compounds insulating the HDD from vibration and shock, while protecting your mission-critical data.
Standard to: All Toughbook PCs




Vibration-resistant LCDs
To prevent costly damage to the LCD display, internal dampeners prevent damage by absorbing shock and sudden impact.
Standard to: Toughbook 19, Toughbook 30 and Toughbook Wireless Display



Flexible Internal Connectors
Should the notebook be dropped or bumped, flexible connectors between the hard disk drive and system board protect against the transfer of shock between these components.
Standard to: All Toughbook PCs





Magnesium Casing
Every Toughbook features a full or partial magnesium case to assuring superior resistance to exterior effects like bumps, drops and knocks.
Standard to: Toughbook 19, Toughbook 30, Toughbook 52, Toughbook 74, Toughbook PDRC, and Toughbook Wireless Display
