Panasonic Tough Book 31: Review

Panasonic Toughbook 31 is a fully ruggedized laptop that you will not usually see around the office or any workplace. This is because such laptops are specially designed to be used in the field, or at the military camp bases where the utmost reliability and durability are essential. The rugged Panasonic Toughbook 31 is a monster of a laptop made more of metal and less of plastic. The laptop exterior is made of magnesium alloy and rubber bumpers, making it weigh around 9 pounds. The laptop stands at an intimidating 3 inches tall even with its lid closed. It has weatherproof rubber flaps around all ports for more protection.

This is an extremely bulky and extremely heavy laptop… however, in the world of rugged laptops, extra bulkiness generally means additional durability. If you hunt enough, there are very few laptops in the market that can take a beating in airport security lines, or take hits while traveling in a crowded train or a bus, or even survive a drop from a height of six feet. There are few which we can count on our fingertips but none of these is on the same planet as the Toughbook 31. Well, nowadays the word waterproof is thrown around even though it’s not applicable. But when it comes to laptops we don’t think there is any laptop as water-resistant as Panasonic Toughbook 31. When we say it is waterproof, that does not mean you can submerge it underwater. The laptop can survive driving rain, ocean spray, or a quick drop in a puddle but you cannot expect it to work while doing scuba diving.

Toughbook 31 comes with a 3-year warranty and it also offers accidental-damage coverage for an additional charge. You will get the power port, a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, an Ethernet jack, an HDMI video output, and the access door for the drive enclosure everything with a locking door. The Toughbook 31 sports a 13.1″ brilliant screen along with Panasonic CircuLumin technology and delivers desktop-class performance and improved video/3D graphics. The laptop is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and Intel HD Graphics 620 with 16GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. Compared to its prime competitor Dell Latitude 7424 rugged laptop which includes a more capable Core i7, Toughbook 31 performs low on the PCMark 10 benchmark. How important this disadvantage is depends widely on how you intend to use the Toughbook 31. If you don’t have any high-graphic work to do, it probably won’t matter as much. The laptop packs an amazing battery life which stays up to 28.5 hours and also with optional media bay 2nd battery.

The Toughbook 31 is a formidable laptop that will shrug off pretty much anything you throw at it. These laptops are engineered to withstand more physical abuse than a simple plastic one can. Panasonic charges pretty well for this laptop as there aren’t many alternatives for extremely durable, heavy, not super well-performing laptops. The cost of Toughbook 31 in Dubai is approx. AED 11019. Buying this laptop will give you a combined performance of 6 generations and a device that will go the distance with you anytime, anywhere.
