Reviews for the Panasonic Toughbook CF-T5

67% Panasonic Toughbook CF-T5

Panasonic's ultraportable, semi-rugged Toughbooks may be small and light enough to be stuffed into an overnight bag, but they're no lightweights when it comes to robustness. The specially contoured lid can handle up to 100kg of pressure before the screen is threatened. And Panasonic claims the CF-T5 can withstand drops of up to 30cm on to a hard surface, without damage. Unlike fully rugged Toughbooks, they're attractive enough to avoid curious glances too. Your only choice if you need a tough, rather than fully rugged, ultraportable notebook.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Core Solo: Single core version of the Core Duo and successor of the Intel Pentium M; Because of the 65nm reduced structure width also smaller current consumption than Pentium M (maximally 27 Watts); the performance is comparable with the equivalent clocked Pentium M (somewhat faster because of a few improvements).

U1400:

12.1": This is the most common display format for subnotebooks and an average size for subnotebooks.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs less power, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

1.5 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

Panasonic: Panasonic is an international notebook manufacturer, but with rather small market shares and few laptop reviews. Panasonic concentrates its notebook sortiment to the niche of ruggedized notebooks, which are made for rough outdoor usage. The ratings are slightly above average.
