Spill-resistant Keyboard

Because liquid spills are the second most common cause of laptop trouble, a spill-resistant keyboard has been added as a standard feature of the entire Toughbook business-rugged line. In the event of a spill, a waterproof keyboard, combined with a unique drain-through design, allows liquids to pass through and exit from the bottom of these mobile computers. Moreover, a drain-away design on the optical drive enclosure (optical drive available on select models) further protects them from liquid penetration. This reduces the risk of water damage and extends the life of these tough mobile computers.

Circular Scrolling Touchpad

Toughbook T8 TouchpadCircular Touchpad is trademark of all Panasonic Business laptops. While many reviews were not very positive, we found it very comfortable and convenient. Furthermore, it features an easy-to-use vertical scrolling capability by moving your fingers on the edge of the touchpad clockwise or counterclockwise. It can also be customized to suit individual preferences.
