Panasonic Toughbook Executive CF-T8 12” Notebook is a little unique in its design. It features a circular touch-pad, unlike other notebooks which usually have rectangular ones. Moreover, both vertical and horizontal scrolling is possible with this track-pad. The settings for this can be manually configured for the size of the scrolling area as well. The 12.1” screen of this portable PC also features touch-sensitive capabilities. However, this notebook is not a convertible like the other touchscreen laptops available in the market. The colour TFT screen of the Executive CF-T8 presents a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. There is a DVD drive near the track-pad, which opens up for inserting of the disk.
The Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 1.2GHz processor has been incorporated into this mobile computer for carrying out internal operations. The Mobile Intel GS45 Express chipset has also been employed to handle data movement in this notebook. A 3GB RAM and a 120GB shock and jerks-resistant hard drive are built into this small laptop too. Both Windows Vista as well as Windows XP are compatible with this mobile computer. However, the CF-T8 comes pre-loaded with the former OS. The Intel GMA 4500MHD processor has also been used for handling graphics and videos.
Wired Ethernet connectivity, WiFi and Bluetooth networking services are supported by this device. Optionally wireless WAN connection can be packed into it too. 3 USB ports, a VGA link, a docking station port, an Ethernet connection, headphone & microphone jacks, a PC card slot and a flash card slot are all housed in this portable PC.
The powerful battery of this notebook offers a praiseworthy life of 8 hours. Its light weight of just 1.38kg also adds to its portability factor. The silver coloured Panasonic Toughbook Executive CF-T8 Touchscreen Notebook ships with a price tag of about £1720, which seems a little heavy for this notebook.
