Panasonic has developed a small PC featuring Intel's new Intel Atom processor as a new lineup of its ToughBook industrial notebook PC series, which features high durability. The Panasonic ToughBook is expected to feature a 5.6-inch touch screen LCD and weigh less than 1kg. With its rear and side surfaces covered with resin as the TouchBook series predecessors. The new computer seems to employ an SSD (solid state drive) as a storage device in a bid to increase its shock resistance. It will also allow a battery life of more than 10 hours so that it can be operated all day outside, as well as allowing users to replace battery packs without switching it off.
