Panasonic Toughbook U1 Ultra 5.6″ handheld Atom computer launched
Panasonic’s Toughbook family is really tough. It features many portable notebooks and tablets with rugged chassis. But the latest machine to join the Toughbook family is bit different — its a small, handheld machine with a 5.6″ display. Interesting thing about the Toughbook U1 Ultra is that it provides powerful features in a small, rugged chassis. Also, the Toughbook U1 Ultra goes beyond the MIL-STD-810G certification with the ability to withstand a six-foot drop.
The Toughbook U1 Ultra combines the portability of a handheld computer and the benefits of a full Windows OS. It also features an Intel Atom Z530 Processor (1.6Ghz) and a TransflectivePlus display for up to 6000 nit viewability in direct sunlight.
Specification include 2GB RAM, 64GB SSD, 5.6” WSVGA sunlight-viewable touchscreen display with LED backlighting, up to 9 hour battery life, and Windows 7.
Other features include 802.11a/b/gn WiFi, Bluetooth, WWAN / Gobi2000 mobile broadband (EV-DO and HSPA), GPS, barcode reader, Fingerprint reader, 2.0MP webcam, and numeric keypad.
The Toughbook U1 Ultra is available in the United States starting at $2,799.
