Most portable computers that we cover here revolve around models designed for the consumer market, whether informal users, players or anything in the middle. These, of course, are not the only ones who need laptops, and those who work in industrial areas or field operations are not well taken care of by this kind of notebooks. The Panasonic Toughbook line has long treated that market, and the last Houghtbook 55 MK2 brings the popular robust portable to the specification.
Panasonic launched the Toughbook FZ-55 in 2019, and the robust portable won the hearts of many companies and reviewers. Your XPAK modular system was one of your key sales points, which allows easy replacement or adding storage devices, input peripherals and more. At this time, however, the specifications of 2019 are a little aged, and this “Mark 2” model brings a deserved upgrade to the portable computer tank.
The larger update is the jump of the Intel processors of 8th gene to the current I5 and I7 chips of 11th gene. With that generation comes the option to include Intel Iris XE graphics, indicated for significant improvements in the performance of the graphics. RAM options have also duplicated in capacity and speed with 16-64GB memory.
Panasonic is also updating the connectivity options through the plate, starting with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. There is also a new Thunderbolt 4 for both transfers of fast data, as well as loading the laptop. Last but not least, Panasonic boasts that it is the first laptop offering a double SIM support with a physical SIM slot and an esi compatibility.
The Toughbook Panasonic 55 MK2 still preserves some of the features of its predecessor, such as the 14-inch FHD screen, the IP53 and MIL-STD-810H certification, and, of course, the modular expansion system. Panasonic has not confirmed the details of availability, but the robust laptop could start $ 2,000, as well as the original Toughbook 55.
