New Panasonic F8, T8, W8 ToughBooks
Posted September 26th, 2008 by Alex Ion
A year before, we were all excited and happy that Panasonic announced the new 7-series ToughBooks. Today you can feel the same “emotion” if you’re a fan of Panasonic laptops because the new and improved 8-series (F8,T8 and W8) ToughBooks have been announced, and good news : they all pack Qualcomm’s Gobi dual-3G chipset.
Toughest of them all is Panasonic F8 (pictured) a lightweight (3.7 pound) 14-inch ToughBook that runs thanks to Intel’s 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo processor and among other things features a 160GB hard drive and a DVD drive. Less tougher than the F8 are both the T8 and W8, both with a 12-inch display running on a low-voltage 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor. There are slight differences between the two of them. Panasonic T8 has a touchscreen while the W8 features a DVD drive.
All three models will be available from November and should be priced at $2,499 for the F8 and $2,099 for the other two. – via Cnet
