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.

If you think that notebook and mouse combo is passé because of advanced touchpad and trackpad, think again. Logitech’s unique clip-and-go notebook mouse promises to give laptop users the efficiency they have when using desktop PCs with mouse.

Trackpads and touchpads are good, but experts agree that it cannot beat the functionality and efficiency that the mouse has. The only thing that hinders many laptop users from getting their mouse is the fact that the hour of mousing bliss is often replaced by the trouble of keeping your mouse safely as you move from table, desk or counter when using a laptop.

This is what drove Logitech to come up with the V550 Nano cordless laser mouse for notebooks. The V550 Nano features a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver that can be attached to a standard USB port. The mouse uses minimal power making it use two AA batteries for more 18 months.

But what separates V550 from other mice is its two Cli-and-Go docks: one silver and one black. This allows users to literally dock the mouse on their laptop, making it stay with you wherever you go.

This mouse works both with Windows PCs and Mac computers. It is tagged at $55.99.

The world is getting smaller, and so are the things that virtually make it go around. No, I’m not talking about the value of our money. Money doesn’t make the world go round, but I’m certain that you won’t be able to go around the world without your mobile phone, laptop, or pocket PC.

It seems that every electronic gadget gets a centimeter smaller every year, and that goes double for the PC. A few decades ago, you would need a large room just to be able to set up a computer in your own home. Today, you won’t need the services of a carpenter to make room for your PC. Your tailor could do that now for you.

While notebooks have already made waves around the world, pocket PCs are also trying to establish themselves as viable alternatives to the desktop. Not everybody’s too crazy about them though. Well, at least not yet.

I haven’t tried using one to surf the net. However, I’ve heard that it can easily browse through Web sites like a typical notebook. I’m not that ready or excited to go that tiny yet. I’m already happy with my 14.1-inch laptop. Even though it needs occasional maintenance and optimization, it still meets my everyday demands.
