The Panasonic Toughbook CF-S10 ($2,449 list) is a semi-rugged laptop with the mobile businessman in mind. It may not have rubber bumpers on every corner, like the fully-ruggedized Dell Latitude E6420 XFR ($5,612 direct, 4 stars), to protect it from the kinds of accidents you may encounter on a construction site or in a military zone, but it will serve the executive that wants to be able to move from the board room to out in the field. The Toughbook CF-S10 is well armored, with a shock-mounted hard drive, a spill-resistant keyboard, and a TPM security chip and Intel Anti-Theft tech installed.
Design
The Toughbook CF-S10 features a magnesium alloy casing, with a black lid accented by a small silver lining on the top lip, and silver on the rest of the body. At 1.5 inches, it's a little thicker than a traditional, consumer laptop like the 1.04 inch-thick Samsung 300U1A-A01 ($699.99 list, 3.5 stars), mainly because its frame has to make room for the mounted hard drive (more on that later) and handle up to 220 pounds of pressure. Its weight is still under the three-pound mark—2.96 pounds to be exact—and is on the lighter side when compared with other 12-inch laptops, like the 4.15-pound Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Tablet ($1,579 direct, 4 stars) and 4.3-poundHP Elitebook 2560p ($1,299.99 direct, 4 stars).
