Reviews for the Panasonic Toughbook 33 2021
Source: Neowin
Panasonic TOUGHBOOKs are always fun to review, because they have awesome features, even for people that don't need rugged PCs. They seem to come from an age when PCs used to be able to just do everything. And like I said, Panasonic has tons of experience in the rugged space, and the TOUGHBOOK 33 is another winner.

Panasonic claims the Toughbook 33 is the best-selling fully rugged laptop or tablet, and it's a worthy choice—well-equipped, versatile, and supremely sturdy. It almost steals our Editors' Choice award from the Latitude 7220 Rugged Extreme Tablet for its newer CPU, slightly larger 3:2 screen, and HDMI port (though these machines aren't often used at a desk with an external monitor). But it's more expensive, and its battery life, at least with Panasonic's standard cells, is a letdown.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

i5-10310U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced in 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.7 and 4.4 GHz with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports DDR4-2666 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default). Compared to the faster i5-10510U, the level 3 cache was reduced from 8 to 6 MB. The CPU supports the professional management features under the vPro umbrella.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
