JUST how tough is the Toughbook?
Here’s a video I took for iVDO when Alex Villafania and I covered the Kickstart Asia 2007 information technology forum held last week in Bintan, Indonesia. That’s Linus Lim, sales and marketing executive for IT Products, Wireless Communication Division of Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific, giving the demo.
Check out Alex’s Toughbook story for INQUIRER.net Infotech.

It’s probably also very heavy. It’s definitely catered not catered for your normal office or home environment (unless you consider both to be harsh environments).
