The new Toughpad FZ-G1 now more than ever is the gold standard for mission-critical mobile professionals - including military personnel, first responders and field service and sales teams - in need of a lightweight tablet PC providing desktopWith new options for an integrated UHF radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader or contactless smart card reader, and optional certification for use in hazardous locations, the Toughpad FZ-G1 delivers significant upgrades to improve worker productivity. It retains key features of the best-selling previous model, including a fully-rugged design certified to meet IP65 and MIL-STD-810G specifications for drops (up to 4 feet), shock, vibration, altitude, humidity and extreme temperatures. For added security, an optional Opal-compliant, self-encrypting drive will be available in summer 2014.

"Mobile workers are the fastest growing segment of the workforce, and these professionals require highly portable and durable computing tools they can rely on wherever their work takes them," said Dan Diliberti, Senior Product Management - Tablets and Handhelds, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America. "Since its introduction in 2013 the Toughpad FZ-G1 has become one of our most popular products, and these key improvements only serve to increase the return on investment it provides."

After seeing a Windows 95 based tough based laptop and man that thing was built like a tank. It is nice to see a rugged based tablet from them.

I really like it. I mean it's not for me, but it's good to see a device designed for specific difficult conditions, with chemical and water resistance, and no harm when dropped from 1.2m. Plus they managed to do that at just 1kg.

Also, on one end of the extreme we have devices with no user-replaceable batteries, and on the other there's Toughpad with battery hot swap. :)
