What is it: 'Semi-ruggedised' laptop with 15.4-inch screen
What we think: It's not very portable and the battery life falls short of expectations
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 3 July 2008
Tags: panasonic, handle, protected, cover
We like:
Very solid outer casing; spill-resistant keyboard and touch pad; wide-aspect-ratio 15.4-inch screen
We don't like:
Large and heavy; some ports are unprotected; disappointing battery life
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Toughbook CF-52 is a solidly built 'semi-ruggedised' laptop with a hardened outer casing, shock-mounted hard disk and covered ports. However, this heavy system isn't the most portable and its battery life falls a long way short of Panasonic's claims
