My laptop is looking pretty weak and girly compared to the new Panasonic Toughbook C1. Panasonic has given their Toughbook a makeover, letting it instantly go from tablet to laptop in a flash. Despite the added flashiness, the Toughbook C1 is still tough, being able to withstand drops from 30 feet and attacks from tigers.
The Panasonic Toughbook C1 packs a spill-proof keyboard and a battery with a life of 12 hours. The base model C1 comes with 2GB of RAM that can be pushed up to eight and a 320 GB hard drive. The C1 screen on this device is a little small, 12'1", but when you consider the fact that it also doubles as a tablet, it doesn't seem so bad. Panasonic plans on dropping the Toughbook C1 in July and have decided to price it at a cool $2,599.
