TrustedReviews has reviewed Panasonic’s ToughBook CF-U1, a rugged UMPC powered by Atom. The U1 is a fully rugged device like the ToughBook CF-19.

Powered by an Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, the ToughBook CF-U1 has 1GB of memory, and 16GB or 32GB SSD drive. You can also expect a 5.6-inch touchscreen display, WiFi 802.11a/g/n, Bluetooth, built-in 3G connectivity, GPS, and a 2 Megapixel webcam.

TrustedReviews‘ comments:
If you’re a field worker that needs a fully rugged machine, but doesn’t need a fully featured notebook, the CF-U1 will make a perfect companion. The Atom platform gives this device a decent amount of grunt, while the dual battery setup makes for impressive operation times. The hot swap battery is the icing on the cake, meaning that you won’t have to shut down in the middle of something important when you run out of juice.

The fully configurable nature also means that you can spec the CF-U1 with exactly what you need to get the job done. Ultimately, if you’ve been put off rolling out fully rugged ToughBooks to your team because of the high cost and heavy, bulky form factor, the CF-U1 is what you’ve been waiting for.

Panasonic is going to launch its Toughbook CF-U1 Atom-based rugged UMPC in August. The Toughbook CF-U1 is powered by an Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, 1GB of memory, 16GB or 32GB SSD drive.

TrustedReviws has reviewed the semi-rugged Panasonic ToughBook CF-74 notebook PC. Panasonic ToughBook CF-74 is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz processor, 1GB of RAM (max 4GB), 80GB hard drive.

Other features include a Combo drive, WiFi 802.11a/b/g, a 13.3-inch LCD display, integrated EV-DO and HSDPA supports, fingerprint sensor and Bluetooth.

Verdict from Trusted Reivews:
Panasonic may describe the CF-74 as a semi-rugged notebook, but it’s far more robust than any other semi-rugged unit I’ve come across. The solid construction, carrying handle and great battery life make it a very attractive proposition for any company that regularly sends staff out into the field. Yes, it’s expensive, but as always with a ToughBook, you either need what it has to offer, or you don’t.
