Panasonic India on Thursday launched Toughbook CF-C2, a durable and flexible business convertible personal computer designed for healthcare professionals, aviation technicians and automotive engineers.

Loaded with the new Windows 8 Pro operating system, the device can be used in a clamshell or tablet mode. Priced at Rs 1 lakh (exclusive of taxes), it will be available in the market from January, the company said.

“With its desktop-like performance, high class connectivity, long battery and advanced mobility technologies, this device is the perfect work companion for healthcare professionals, aviation technicians and automotive engineers,” Gunjan Sachdev, General Manager and National Business Head, Panasonic (Toughbook brand), said.

The device has features such as the capacitive 5-finger multi-touch display that can be used both in the tablet and clamshell mode as the screen remains rigid to the touch due to its enhanced triple hinge, he said.

With a 12.5” HD screen, the device can withstand drops of up to 76cm (6 angles), comes with a water resistant keyboard and touchpad and strengthened glass on the LCD. 

Also, in the tablet and notebook operational modes, the CF-C2 comes with an ergonomic and removable triangular hands-free strap making the device easy to hold and operate with one-hand in any position — portrait, landscape or anywhere in-between. 

With third-generation Intel Core{+ }technology, the processing power of the device can deal without the need for a fan. 

It has a bridge battery, which can be configured to the needs of its users’ working and weight requirements and the main battery can be changed without powering down the device.

The standard 6-cell battery configuration can go up to 11 hours operation, the 3-cell smart battery can deliver 5 hours operation and the 9-cell high capacity battery can go up to 15 hours of use, the company said.
