Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 *MILITARY GRADE LAPTOP*- TechTestDrives | HD

This is clearly the most informative review of the cf-30. No need to test its ruggedness. It's what it says on the tin .

Um lol... So who else is here after Unbox Therapy's macbook armor episode :)??

God damn. This reminds me of the types of laptops hackers would use in wars.

This is what I call my predator missiles in cod with

all I want to know can they take Hulu and Netflix can I watch those on them

this is smaller than regular laptops.

i love that laptop

battery life?

Great vid. Just installing the 30 in our Magnum cruiser for process serving and skip tracing. This will be a great asset while on the road. Your video showed me that I still don't need to go to the cf19 or higher model. The 30 still has the capabilities. The selling point from the 29 to the 30 M2 was the built in modem. No need for a data hotspot. Thanks again. J.

very clear and detailed review. how much are they for?

the audio is awesome for your vid

Two days ago i bought it at MYR 500 (USD120), a great deal because it was $7000 when it was launched in 2007! I've only just using it for a day, but I can say that this is really durable, I don't need to worry about any accidental drop and no need backpack to carry it.

something that thick and no mechanical keyboard? Really?

Believe it or not, in 2017 I got one of these Panasonic CF-30 Toughbooks, factory new and unused, the same configuration as demonstrated here with the exception it has instead of the HD a 120 GB SSD. I had the CF-19 before but unfortunately sold it. The CF-30 is larger and I prefer it to the newer models as the quality is so much better. I run it with the latest version of Windows 10 Pro and it works excellently. It is not the quickest machine, but then a 'tank' is not a 'limousine'. I did not pay US$7000 for it but got the factory new one for $2500. I prefer it to all my super crazy i7 laptops as it is using quality and is perfect for my research work regardless what the weather or temperature may be. Antarctica is a rather cold place! The i7 race machines are dead and gone compared to the quality of the CF-30. The only problem is that my touchscreen will not work using Win 10 Pro as Panasonic never makes drivers for updated system software. They want that you purchase a new computer. This is a very bad attitude of a company that is proud to produce high-quality products but disregards looking after updates. I overcame the missing touchscreen driver with a far better solution in purchasing a Wacom digital drawing pad and now I have a large area to mouse around and be able to do drawings. By the way, the computer works perfectly fine with the latest Ubuntu system software if you are a Linux friend. It is a highly recommended computer also starring in many movies. Get one, you will not regret it!!!

i dont think ive ever seen one of these without a touchscreen.

No sim card slot?

Gotta say as someone who knows computers and had exposure to these kinds of products.
They are shit.
Its all flimsy plastic bullshit. You knock the fucker over its broken like any other laptop.
My mother works in the field and has had several and they all got broken somehow.
Not to mention the hardware on most of these things SUCK.
You pay 1000's more just to have a shit laptop that only appears to be protected when in reality its just plastic bullshit. Yes if you are still using a shitty disk hard drive then yeah it cousins it a tiny bit, but its honestly cheaper to invest in a little usb if that is your main concern and a ssd. hard drisk drives are obsolete for the most part.
Buy a real laptop with good hardware. Its is probably as resilient as these and if not its wayyyy faster to the point where the negligible "protection" does not even register.
My two cents.

I love it.

I love that laptop

But will it survive deleting sys32

ياعلي وااشتري

Can I borrow that to knock some sense into my dog

I believe heated elements are not needed for an SSD hard drive. can also fit a second hard drive where the dvd drive goes with a case/caddy found on ebay.

Macbook Air = Cheap Chinese Bike

ThinkPad = AFV

Toughbook = Tank

Similar to that laptop from the martian

nice design for CF30, but a bit disappointed by the CF54, less rugged, and still working with windows 7.
Why don't they make new releases with win 10???

the startup sound is the same with windows 7 sound

seen often in police cars

Panasonic Be More Badass- Add more Colors!!! Support Woman Sports Like Volleyball USA/Canada is $till Open!!! Panasonic Center Lithuania!!!

7000 dollar for a laptop from 400BC? Nah, Ill pass

<heavy breathing>

My god man, that is only fugly laptop.

oof 32 bit

Can it withstand an emp?

Nice 👍 laptop 💻

I keep this in my Ford CVPI and never use it. Makes for good decoration though.

I have one similar to the one you showed but mine has the added feature of biometric security with a fingerprint scanner on the left just above the speaker. I bought it used from ebay many years ago and it was still over $500 then. I do need a new power port cover for it though.

imagine rocking this boy in a cafeteria everyone must be thinking that you're hacking the satelite

Cheap

This vs dell latitude rugged 7424 ?????

Can the gpu be upgraded?

I found one of these for cheap, gonna use it for linux

The hard drive caddy cost more than the laptop itself!

it is almost impossible to pass airport security with one of these

Should I buy it in 2020?

I am now on my second CF-30 and both of mine have the built in GPS on the lid plus my old one had a fingerprint scanner for security while my new one has the antenna for increased Wi-Fi signal. If you didn't want or need the CD/DVD drive you can replace that with an extra battery. For those that may be curious there is a small hole in the left hinge that is for a mic but most don't have that installed. The CF-30 can be setup with cellular service as well. They are a lot cheaper now on eBay and I got my current one with Windows 10.

What happened to you?
