Panasonic Toughbook CF-Y7 Laptop comes from the Panasonic family, bearing the tag, the ‘Toughbook’. You will not mislay your valued data from the tough book, even after an accidental drop down from the height of 90cm, say from the waist height. Empowered with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor L7500 processor, 1GB internal memory, 80GB hard drive and DVDRW optical drive, it unleashes its images in a 14 inches widescreen display that runs on Windows XP Business operating system for up to 5.5 hours on a single charge.
Mainly, owing its meagre weight of 1.5kg, it delivers unmatched portability. However, its bulky dimensions, 24Wx31Dx4.4H cm, with a view to live up to its tough book name, snaffle its sleek design a bit. The silver chassis of this cute muscle bodied laptop elevates you in terms of workspace. The hinge that opens to the wonderful world of edutainment is integrated beneath the touch pad. You can view movies in its 14.1 inches widescreen display as a webcam with reasonable resolution, mounted above the screen bezel helps in video conferencing.
The down side of this laptop is its storage capacity. If you are a traveller, then you will have to carry a load of memory cards along with you if you choose this 80GB HDD, shock absorbent notebook. The only positive aspect concealed in this laptop is that it is shock absorbent. Although, when you look at other features including the quality of AV, then you might have a temptation to go for some other laptop, say, Asus M70, the latest notebook sensation.
Coming back to this device, you can stay connected with the people around you, since it has a WiFi port and a Bluetooth. Bluetooth aids you to connect the laptop with your mobile phone or any other device that supports this technology. The optical drive of this laptop is incorporated differently, when compared to the normal ones. You can immortalise your happy moments by burning DVD discs in the DVD RW optical drive integrated on the right side of the touch pad. You can use this ingenuous laptop for a whomping 5.5 hours after it is charged fully. The 1GB memory incorporated, delivers a reasonable speed to this system, compared to the 4GB Dell M65 Laptop.
This latest laptop, Panasonic Toughbook CF-Y7 Notebook does not support any floppy drive slots, therefore you cannot use the traditional floppy drive with this device. With a couple of built-in USB ports, you can connect this laptop to two peripherals at a time. The 4 cell rechargeable lithium ion battery runs around 5.5 hours as in Sony VAIO VGN-FW11M Blu-ray Laptop. The integrated graphics processor is enfolded with 384MB memory to unveil the graphics gently.
