Panasonic debuts Toughbook notebooks with 500 NIT displays

Panasonic has unveiled new Toughbook notebooks for military, public safety and commercial applications with 500 NIT displays. Rugged Toughbooks have always used anti-glare and anti-reflective screen coatings to improve outdoor screen viewability. Now, building on its leadership in mobile computing solutions, Panasonic has introduced the 500 NIT LCD, which is 250 to 300 percent brighter than commercial-grade notebooks.

Available now, this new feature raises the bar for mobile workers. Police, fire and emergency medical professionals, members of the armed forces, field service technicians and mobile workers in all industries will benefit, enabling them to work more efficiently in the brightest daylight conditions.

Panasonic Computer Solutions Company continues to deliver the most advanced technologies throughout its semi- and fully-rugged notebook line. In addition to LCD enhancements, Panasonic recently announced next-generation wireless capabilities, with embedded EV-DO and EDGE network access on all major carriers.

The industry's fastest fully-rugged mobile PC, the CF-29 is used extensively in military applications, by federal government agencies, public safety professionals and commercial users.
