Panasonic launches the Toughbook SX2

Panasonic has launched the Toughbook SX2, and yes it’s tough. The laptop is called a “Powerful, Portable Business-Rugged Notebook PC.”

It comes with 14.5 hours of battery life, 3.3GHz Intel Core i5, 12.1 inch screen, two USB 3.0 ports and is 40% slimmer than previous Panasonic business-rugged models.

“Technology enables many professionals today to work from virtually anywhere, but this freedom creates a new set of issues when users are not equipped with the right tools for the job – device failures mean frustration, lost productivity and revenue, plus substantial repair and replacement costs,” said Kyp Walls, director of product management, Panasonic Solutions for Business. “Like the other computers in our renowned Toughbook line, the Toughbook SX2 is engineered to provide the reliability high value professionals require with the portability they desire.”

The Panasonic Toughbook SX2 is available later this month from authorized Panasonic resellers starting at $2,649. The Toughbook SX2 includes a standard three-year limited warranty.
