Reviews for the Panasonic Toughbook 55 Mk3

Laptops are essential to most jobs these days in one way or another. However, one similarity spans most laptops—they are fragile. Sure, a few are more durable than others, but the fear of breaking your expensive laptop will remain unless you have a rugged-style laptop. Like many of the best rugged laptops we've tested out, that's where Panasonic's line of Toughbooks comes into play. Several large laptop companies have a rugged laptop line-up. Still, Panasonic has recently updated theirs with the release of the Toughbook 55 Mk3, pushing their performance beyond what was previously attained in the rugged laptop world. But can it protect against the bumps, knocks, and scrapes of day-to-day use? We put the laptop through its paces.

Panasonic’s Toughbook 55 Mk3 has all the things we look for in a semi-rugged laptop. It’s easy to see how it passes MIL-spec durability testing and survives drops from three feet considering how sturdy this laptop feels. Three expansion bays make customization easy and help it stay relevant long after purchase. We also give it high marks for its sunlight-ready screen, excellent keyboard, and superb stamina with the optional second battery. This Toughbook lives up to the brand’s reputation and is well worth its premium price, making it our new Editors' Choice award winner for semi-rugged laptops.

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.
