Reviews for the Panasonic Toughbook 40 Mk2
Source: PC Mag
Obviously, the Toughbook 40 Mk2 is not the choice for mainstream buyers—it's far too heavy and costly even for field or factory-floor workers interested in semi-rugged systems. However, Panasonic's Toughbook can't be topped when only a juggernaut will do. It has serious sturdiness, boosted battery life, and a display that defies belief. The Panasonic Toughbook 40 Mk2 richly deserves Editors' Choice honors among fully rugged laptops.

Prices for Panasonic's Toughbook 40 Mk2 start at $4,245. It's expensive for sure, however it is a better deal than the Toughbook 55 due to its compact size, insane battery life, and ability to better withstand extreme temperatures. Keep in mind that this isn't exactly a laptop for the average consumer; rugged laptops of this caliber are niche products for specialized use, but this is one of the best on the market. Also note that the final price can greatly increase depending on how many XPAKs you purchase since the expansion modules are sold separately. Costs range from $120 to over $1,000 for a 2TB OPAL SSD.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.
