PCS Announces Three New Business-Rugged Laptops from Panasonic

12/5/2007 - Denver, Colorado

7 Series Toughbook W7, T7 and Y7

PCS is now selling the newest Toughbook computers: the ultraportable W7, the tablet alternative T7, and the thin-and-light Y7. These sleek, slimline laptops have a resilient magnesium alloy case, Wide Area Wireless-ready capabilities and up to 10+ hours of battery life. They’re engineered to handle all the drops and bumps of daily business life whether in the office, on a plane or out in the field.

Built with the real-world challenges of today’s on-the-go user in mind, the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo-based W7, T7 and Y7 notebooks offer an ideal combination of the latest computing power, extremely light weight (from 3.0 to 3.7 lbs) and long battery life—all protected by proven durability that is engineered from the inside-out. Like all Toughbook notebooks, the business-rugged 7 series notebooks are drop- and spill-resistant, have strong magnesium alloy cases and chassis, shock-mounted hard drives and LCDs, and internal flexible connectors for additional protection.

The 7 Series business-rugged products offer a range of embedded wireless options for anytime, anywhere connectivity, including 802.11, Bluetooth 2.0 and optional high-performance built-in 3G mobile broadband solutions from AT&T (HSDPA), Sprint or Verizon Wireless (EV-DO Rev. A).

Toughbook W7: Ultraportable Notebook for the Mobile Professional
The ultraportable Panasonic Toughbook W7 notebook, with its integrated DVD MULTI drive, 12.1 inch anti-glare LCD, and weight of 3 pounds, is ideal for mobile professionals. Equipped with an ultra-low voltage Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor, 1 GB SDRAM (expandable), 80 GB hard disk, and battery life of approximately 7 hours, the W7 is as useful on an airline tray table as it is in the board room.

Toughbook T7: A Lightweight Tablet PC Alternative
Designed with input from “walking workers” such as nurses and home care professionals, the Toughbook T7 notebook is a tablet-alternative notebook with a touch screen, stylus and screen rotating software. The system features a 12.1 inch touch-screen LCD and convenient hand strap. Equipped with an ultra-low voltage Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor, the 3.3 pound T7 provides an 80GB hard drive and 1 GB SDRAM (expandable) and delivers up to 9 hours of battery life, depending on operating environment.

Toughbook Y7: Desktop Computer Capabilities in an Extremely Thin and Light Package
The world’s lightest laptop with a 14.1 inch display, the Panasonic Toughbook Y7 thin-and-light notebook weighs only 3.7 pounds and delivers five hours of battery life. The Toughbook Y7 notebook includes a built-in DVD MULTI drive, Intel® Core™ 2 Duo low voltage processor, 1 GB SDRAM (expandable) and 80 GB hard drive. The Y7’s larger screen makes it suitable for presenting to small groups while still being portable enough for professional road warriors.
