Panasonic's Toughbook G2 Is a Windows 10 Tablet for the Actual Battlefield - PCMag AU

For such IRL quests, what you need instead is a fully rugged, modular 2-in-1 detachable laptop like the Toughbook G2 that Panasonic unveiled today.

The resulting product, Panasonic says, is the ultimate in “mobility for mission-critical enterprise customers.” The Toughbook G2 is designed for settings in which a conventional rugged laptop is too big, like in a forward tactical operations center, but where you still need a decently sized screen and an external keyboard.

Panasonic claims that the Toughbook G2 can last up to 18.5 hours on a single charge, which rivals the battery life of some of the longest-lasting laptops PC Labs has tested.

If you need even more battery life, the Toughbook G2 can be fitted with an optional bridge battery that enables hot-swapping of the main battery for continuous use. We'll be sure to test these claims when we get a Toughbook G2 unit in for review.
