In the world of soldered ram, pentalobe screws and glued down batteries - Panasonic is taking the complete opposite approach with the new Toughbook. They've created a laptop where nearly everything, including the GPU, can be swapped almost instantly.

omg there are SO many of these here I'm a technician in the Army, we use those toughbooks in pretty much anything that need communication with land signals, like tanks, remote antennas, artillery, ANYTHING there are thousands of those coming here every month for routine check-up, classified program/map imaging and fixing (usually swapping the HDD or the keyboard) that card reader may be the most important thing in there, as it is what used to identify the soldier and his security access level also that modularity is really important here, because those who fix them (I'm not in there), don't actually know how to open a laptop and disconnect and check stuff. they simply hot swap those broken modules with good ones. saves alot of resources from teaching the technicians how to handle an actual laptop

I love toughbooks, after using them in the military I have owned a Toughbook ever since. At the moment I have a Toughbook 20, which is a tablet that connects to a full laptop base. As I use it on my sailboat, it gets pretty dirty and knocked around a bit, with no damage. I’ve even dumbed it into the ocean once while at anchor, after rinsing it with fresh water and than alcohol, it worked perfectly. Thankfully, as it was my only computer at the time and had all of my charts on it. I love these laptops and will always have one in possession, no matter the cost.

The dual bays that can take batteries, plus the design of that optical drive, is very reminiscent of my Apple PowerBook G3 (Pismo) from 2000. The removable keyboard too, though the G3 used two thumb latches to let you pull it off without tools, with a third that had a screwdriver lock to prevent someone from swiping your RAM or other internals that were accessed that way.

2:22 speaking from experience, Toughbooks have been used in the military, such as specific situations like on deployment in a FOB (Forward operating base). If the FOB gets attacked, overrun, or you just need to get the hell out of there quickly, taking the HDD out quickly is much much better than lugging every single laptop out of a makeshift office. Sensitive data must be secured or destroyed.

Panasonic remains my favorite brand. The exact opposite to what Apple does. Durability, modularity, studiness. They have this philosophy where everything is thought and made FOR the consumer. Most of all their TVs are excellent for their price. Only LG can compete (Sony being as good but way too expensive). Back when they made Plasma screens they had the best Tvs around for a very decent price. Their OLEDs are great and less expensive than other brands. I hope they will keep on making such good hardware and keep this respect for their clients.

As a doctor i really could use one of those! In emergencies, or when the patient is not mobile enough to come to the practice, we have to go to the patient. We use cards to login to the medical record. So the card slot makes a whole lotta sense. In the near future we will be using our finger prints, nothing worse than forgetting your card at the practice. In Holland it rains a lot, a somewhat waterproof laptop is ideal just for the distance between the car and the front door. SIM card feature is also a must have so we can access our central terminal for the medical records. We now use outdated, though tough laptops with Windows XP lol. Tablets arent secure enough and are a pain. This looks really good! Thanks for the review

You can buy workplace-oriented laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and a few others that have all of those features built in, and are significantly cheaper than a Toughbook.

Thing is near indestructible.

The upgradeable GPU is a big deal but there's a couple of questions.What are the GPU options and will those options be made available for future graphics chips? The proprietary connectors and lack of a common laptop standard for swappable peripherals mean you may be limited to Panasonic only options. Since there is no guarantee for how long Panasonic will keep making peripherals then buying this laptop is a bit of a gamble. Also, can the CPU be upgraded on this model? It's a good laptop and a step back in the right direction but it's still built without the foundational standards that all manufacturers should adhere to and which would assure a longer future for upgrareable laptops. That is key.

The reason it’s this modular is because the biggest customers of toughbooks are militaries, law enforcement, hospitals and organizations operating in hazardous areas like construction sites or a refugee camp in a war zone, etc. These are typically used by numerous people sharing 1 laptop. The information on it is usually sensitive too so it needs to be easily replaceable between users. Features like that card scanner also suit the needs of some of the aforementioned users, like an intelligence officer accessing confidential information that needs clearance using a card, or to be used as an ID scanner by the police(who also use that car dock you mentioned very frequently), or like you said, to access someone’s medical info. Some good work panasonic has done on this. A lot different than the tough book I owned years back but still looks to have that same grit and reliability

You mentioned the display cable being easily accessible, and there's a good reason for that! In large IT departments where we often have several thousand machines in circulation, being able to frankenstein two broken units together into one functional one quickly is an important feature to have. We often get computers with a broken screen but that are otherwise completely functional. And other times we get completely trashed units, with RAM that's still good to use. Salvaging usable parts is pretty much a daily occurrence. Sometimes several hundreds of machines are sent in at the same time for service, and at that sort of scale every minute counts. We didn't have this exact unit at my workplace, but we did have a low cost enterprise laptop with a lot of the same features in place.

I used to support this line as a tech due to working under an MSP contract for a small municipality (town). The car-dock feature is because these are often used in police cars. The MIL-STD 810H certification is because these things will sit in hot cars all day, and (at least in Vermont) will also sit outside in basically freezing temps. The temperature swings can destroy weaker machines. Combine with the shock and vibration rating, they're really reliable machines for that purpose. Officers get really mad if you remove solitaire from the base install because of how long they'll spend sitting in a cruiser sometimes. True story.

Lenovo still does some rugged Thinkpads in their student lineup, like the 11e, and yes I know not as configurable, or maybe even as powerful, but still a decent option for a general purpose laptop that's more rugged then most in it's price range.

The PowerBook G3 "Pismo" (1999/2000) had very similar upgradeability features (swappable bays -optical disks, additional HDD, Zip drives, Floppy disk.. there were many options in the market - and could house a hot swappable second battery, giving up to 8-9 hours of life, incredible for the time). Was a very easy opening laptop - just flip the "zero screws" keyboard - and could upgrade RAM, HDD, WiFi card, and even the processor, but not the graphics card. Nice to see that the concept is still around.

When i was working for the police we had one of the older toughbooks thrown out the window of a stolen police car during a chase, it sat in the mud and rain beside the motorway for 3 days before we recovered it. when we got it back to the workshop it turned on without a hitch. I don't think leaving this out in the rain would damage it.

Purpose of this laptop is having a reliable machine for certain conditions. It's not for gaming. Using overly sophisticated parts like powerful GPU would make it vulnerable, with overheating issues etc. I would rather want a very bright display with anti-reflective surface that can be used in direct sunlight.

In reference to the SSD: When I was in the Army a while back, we had toughbooks that could be used for classified data. Then it was standard IDE drives and one of the specifications is that the HDD must be able to be easily removed. This way the data on the drive could be stored in a safe when not in use. Some desktop PCs also had removable HDDs so they could switch from unlcass to at no higher than secret. Although that was almost 20 years ago (damn I'm old) I would imagine the US military probably still has a similar standard and why the SSD in these things are so easily removed.

This reminds me of my old Inspiron 1720, where pretty much everything was upgradable. Not quite as modular as this machine, but the optical drive came out with one screw, it was prewired for an additional WiFi card and a LTE card, it could output S-Video, Component, and VGA, had a FireWire port as well as a built-in 56K modem, the CPU was socketed and upgradable, and it even had an ExpressCard slot and two 2.5" drive bays.
