Companies that design laptops from the ground up can sustain a competitive advantage over those that buy their designs from other (mostly Taiwanese) manufacturers. Panasonic , for example, is what you could call a core manufacturer, optimizing its Toughbook laptop line with custom-tailored frames and integral components put together by its own engineers. Its latest, the Toughbook CF-Y7 ($2,370 street), owns the distinction of being the lightest 14-inch ultraportable in the market. This business-rugged ultraportable can take some physical abuse and is the lightest to integrate a 14-inch screen and optical drive.

The Panasonic Toughbook Y7 is expensive, but with the high price tag comes rock-solid durability, excellent battery life, and the largest screen you can get under four pounds. The biggest trade-off is speed, but if you need to tote your notebook cross-country and aren’t too keen on squinting, the Y7 is a wise investment.

Panasonic's semi-rugged series of laptops is a compromise between stylish but fragile consumer notebooks and expensive rugged portables that can shrug off a fall down a flight of stairs or a spot of word processing in the rain. Larger and more powerful than its predecessor, but battery life suffers as a result.

One doesn’t expect a so-called rugged notebook to look as good as the Toughbook CF-Y7.
The name conjures up an image of a bulky computer weighing several kilograms, with a weak processor and lots of heavy, ugly cladding. Fortunately, this Toughbook is unlike that in almost every way. It uses a Core 2 Duo L7500 processor, running at 1.6GHz. Admittedly this is at the slow end of the dual-core range, but the ‘L’ indicates that it’s a low-voltage model, which is useful for keeping down both heat generation and power usage. This thin, light notebook is ideal for anyone frequently on the move and will take a knock or two.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently. These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
