Core i5-2520M processor in CF-19 MK5 is clocked at 2.5GHz with Turbo boost up to 3.2GHz
The latest fully rugged Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 MK5 delivers a high-performance CPU in a fan-less design.
The Toughbook CF-19 MK5 is IP65 and MIL-STD-810G compliant, meaning it is capable of operating in extreme temperatures and withstanding multiple free drops to concrete. In addition, it is fully protected against vibration, as well as dust and water ingress.
Configuration
Panasonic has decided to equip MK5 with 10.1-inch transflective LCD wide XGA display (or an optional display with dual-touch capabilities). This 6000-nit sunlight-viewable panel features Panasonic’s CircuLumin technology.
Furthermore, the new Toughbook is powered by a Sandy Bridge Intel Core i5-2520M vPro central processing unit, clocked at 2.5GHz (up to 3.2GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0). The chip has 2 cores (4 threads), 35W max. An integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card with shared dynamically allocated VRAM is also part of the standard configuration.
The fully rugged notebook houses 4-to 8GB of internal 1333MHz DDR3 memory and either a 320GB mechanical hard drive (7200rpm) or an optional Solid State Drive (SSD) with a storage capacity of 128GB/256GB.
Connectivity
Built-in Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR adapters are standard on all models except special federal units. Optional are Gobi2000 3G or LTE 4G WWAN and GPS modules.
FireWire, Serial Port, two USB 2.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet bring no changes from MK3-MK4 models. We are surprised not to see a USB 3.0 port like in Toughbook CF-53.
Other specs, availability and pricing
Panasonic CF-19A will ship with a pre-installed Windows 7 Professional (32bit or 64bit) operating system. Weight starts at 5.1 lbs (2.31kg) with the built-in 5600mAh Lithium-ion battery (up to 9 hours runtime).
The magnesium alloy case with hand strap houses a pressure sensitive touchpad with vertical scrolling support. Rubber or emissive are optional. Security features include SmartCard & fingerprint reader, as well as HDD and battery lock.
The CF-19 MK5 is expected in August with starting price of $4200.
