Panasonic revealed what it considers as the most durable business notebook in the market. The ToughBook 8 is Panasonic’s latest series of tough mobile computers and it also happens to be the lightest 3G-ready computers to date.

The ToughBook 8 Series features 802.11a/b/g/draft-n and Bluetooth 2.0. These computers allow fast connection to broadband stations thru a use of an advanced embedded device. All the units in the series W8, T8 and F8 are powered by Intel’s Core2 Duo processor. They all carry a 4GB RAM and a 160GB shock resistant hard drive.

Good news for the klutziest mobile workers among us: Panasonic Friday unveiled its latest ToughBook model, one Panasonic claims is not only the most durable business notebook available, but also the lightest 3G-ready one.

Panasonic boasted that the ToughBook 8 Series survived the gruesome “Mil-spec” testing. That test is done to ensure that the notebooks are tough enough to survive an accidental fall from a table or a chair. The notebooks were dropped 12 inches and its hard drive 30 inches above the ground.

The new ToughBooks have clear 14.1 inch LCD display. The notebooks sport spill-resistant keyboard. They also have internal optical drive so if you think that this laptop is all work, you are wrong.

Panasonic is yet to announce the price of this product.
