Today we decided to take a look at Panasonic’s new tablet PC. The Toughbook C1 which was recently announced is a lightweight and rugged tablet PC mainly targeted at the healthcare market. The tablet which measures 12.1-inch is said to be able to sustain a 30-inch drop. The Toughbook C1 is powered by an Intel Core i5 520M vPro processor. It comes with a battery that offers about five hours of working time. There’s the option of adding in a second battery for better and longer time for usage. The tablet weighs 3.2 pounds with one battery and with the second battery, the weigh becomes 3.7 pounds.
Speaking on the device’s features, the C1 tablet comes with a multi-touch display which literally means that it has finger and gesture input plus there’s an electronic stylus pen that can be used for handwriting recognition. Kind of fun, reminds us of our childhood when we were learning how to write. There’s a 250GB hard drive. The Toughbook C1 has a triple-hinge design. It’s designed as such so that two for opening and closing the screen and another for rotating the display to tablet mode. The Panasonic Toughbook C1 will be available in June at the price of $2,499.
