With the global market for PCs shrinking and many of the big players feeling the pinch, Hardware Zone, a leading tech media site, notes Panasonic have carved a niche in the enterprise side of the market with our rugged Toughbook line.
“Panasonic have been making Toughbooks for the last 17 years, and even though the market fluctuates, they remain the top manufacturer for ruggedized notebooks globally.”

One of the biggest factors in this market-leadership according to Hardware Zone, is our in-house manufacture and testing processes that reduce reliance on ready-made third party components and improve product integration and compatibility.
“Panasonic actively invests in their own technology and development of in-house production capabilities and services… they are one of the last few PC manufacturers that still build PCs from the ground up, from their own PCB designs to final product assembly and even client-based custom software configuration.”

Panasonic has invested a couple million Yen into the process of developing customized robotics into the Toughbook manufacturing line.
By offering hardware, software customisation, installation and in-house services for quicker deployment, Panasonic is able to control the entire end-to-end process. Hardware Zones note that this gives us a huge advantage when it comes to quality and the ability to customise our Toughbooks and Toughpad mobile devices for our clients, and this benefit will only serve to grow out market share.
“Aside from their traditional strongholds in law enforcement, military and healthcare, Panasonic is hoping to penetrate new industries such as utilities, telecommunications, transportation and even retail/distribution. As long as they are able to maintain the kind of manufacturing quality control that their Toughbooks have been known for and bring that into their Toughpads, they will be on the right track to continue growing their market share for rugged devices.”
