Get PANASONIC TOUGHPAD FZ G1

Extreme, Solid, and Powerful!  The PANASONIC TOUGHPAD FZ G1 is a Windows 8 Pro tablet invented for extreme conditions like high and low temperatures,  dusty and damp environments, and as well as high drops. Since 1996 Panasonic has done fabulous jobs in this sector and provides some amazing Toughpads. All of the products introduced by Panasonic was durable as they were dustproof. Waterproof, drop-proof, and shock-proof also.

Features of the tablet

The PANASONIC  TOUGHPAD FZ G1 is above all.

  • Design & Build Quality

The Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G1 isn’t coming to win any beauty contests neither it is interested in entering them. The 10.1-inch big and high-resolution screen is surrounded by a thick silver bezel, by doing this they made it more appealing in looks. It is also wrapped up in a thinner, rubbery edge to grip and absorb the impact if it accidentally drops. The screen is also set slightly within the frame to protect it from the drop too.

They made its design a million times better than other sleek curves of other tablets. It is satisfyingly bulky. It is 1.1kg but its thick appearance feels lighter than it looks. 0.8inch of thickness feels more like a laptop than a tablet. In spite of having a heavier appearance, it is only slightly heavier than an 11inch MacBook Air. So we can definitely say Panasonic has done a great job designing it.

Where other companies are doing their best to hide the ugly machines for a smooth aesthetic, Panasonic on the other hand likes to show off its bolts and nuts like a badge of honor. There are 27 exposed screws on the shiny and metallic backplate which suit its rough and tough aesthetic gracefully.

The most uncommon thing is, it’s waterproof face buttons. While other devices like to keep their most of the functions on the screen, the PANASONIC TOUGHBOOK FZ-G1 has seven circular buttons below it. Counting from the left to right they have their default functions like A1(Panasonic dashboard),  A2(Touch keyboard),  Volume down, Volume up, Windows start, Screen Rotate on/off and last but not the least Power on button.

Things to consider before buying Panasonic Toughbook

Choosing a Toughbook can be complicated, and it is perfectly understandable. Since the decision criteria by which we must govern are not the same as we would have when buying a standard model, that is, a normal Toughbook.

To facilitate such a difficult decision, Panasonic Toughbook has shared ten tips that will help us make the right purchase of a new reinforced Toughbook.

1.-Mobility on the ground

A ruggedized Toughbook should be lightweight and specially designed for light field applications in markets. The markets used mostly are aviation, construction, outside sales, and the public sector. Exposure to extreme environments poses a constant challenge, and the consequences of breakdowns are important.

2.-Autonomy is key

A reinforced Toughbook must have high autonomy. It will allow us to be connected throughout the day, and we will not have the constant worry that we are obtainable to run out of battery. Ideally, we can cover a workday without problems with each battery charge.

3.-Security and tranquility

Security in business matters is essential to ensure the transmission of sensitive data and information. In this sense, Panasonic Toughbook models have an advanced management system. It makes them the most reliable and professionally-ready Android Toughbook on the market.

4.-Resistance is basic

Resistance is one of the most important characteristics of any rugged Toughbook. The panasonic toughbook models, for example, meet the MIL-STD-810G drop resistance standard, as well as IP rating standards against ingress of dust and water. We must look for models that meet both certifications since they guarantee against falls and extreme conditions.

5.-The importance of hardware

Our reinforced Toughbook must have at least a quad-core processor and 1 GB of RAM. That is the minimum level above which we will enjoy acceptable fluency and a reasonably good user experience. It is also advisable to look for models with at least 8GB of expandable storage capacity.

6.-Screen: size, resolution, and type of panel

Displays are the basis for generating a clear and efficient display to work with daily. A good rugged Toughbook should have a sunlight-readable screen and work well with gloves. The ideal is to have a FullHD (1080p) resolution and a size of 7 to 8 inches so that it is comfortable to transport.

7.-Connectivity

Our new reinforced Toughbook must have Wi-Fi 5 (AC) and Bluetooth connectivity. These two standards guarantee a good user experience while browsing the Internet and using online applications. They also guarantee full compatibility when establishing wireless connections with other devices.

8.-Manufacturing materials

A key point since it determines the quality of the reinforced Toughbook and directly affects its useful life. For example, aluminum is a light material with good thermal conductivity and high resistance, values that make it a good option.

9.-Accessories

Choosing a reinforced panasonic toughbook with accessories that allow us to adapt it to different professional environments and types of use is a good idea. It will allow us to have a more flexible and versatile user experience. In this sense, for example, removable keyboards and optical pencils stand out.
