Panasonic Toughbook tablet with waterproof keyboard
Panasonic’s new Toughbook tablet—more like a SLABlet—was on display today at their Tokyo showroom. This SlabBook weighs only 1kg and has a 5.6-inch touch-screen LCD display on the shock/water-proof body with built-in keyboard. At the Panasonic Center in Ariake, Tokyo, I noticed that Panasonic has dropped the dog-slow Vista OS and they are now using XP lite—a wise idea since this new Toughbook runs on Intel’s low-power consumption Atom® processor that’s a lot slower than current requirements for Windows Vista.
