Toughpad FZ-M1 – the mobile tablet and desktop PC in one

The Toughpad range of tablets have the power and functionality to be the only device you will ever need – at your desk or in the field. Highly mobile workers will appreciate the tablet’s light weight and rugged body out on the job and they’ll especially love that the Toughpads are powerful enough to serve as a fully functional PC when they get back to the office.

That’s right, with a Toughpad tablet, there is no need for multiple devices!

Any of these versatile tablets can be paired with an optional desktop cradle, external monitor, keyboard and mouse to turn it into a complete desktop replacement.

Any of these versatile tablets can be paired with an optional desktop cradle, external monitor, keyboard and mouse to turn it into a complete desktop replacement. Because they are powered by Intel Core processors and feature Windows 8.1 Pro, Toughpads can run the same applications as a Windows 8.1 powered desktop and function just like a desktop PC.

Jason Lee, Product Marketing Manager for Toughbook, Panasonic Australia, said that the fully-fledged functional power of a Toughpad is what sets them apart from other tablets.

“When you think of tablets in general, what are they used for? People check their email, browse the internet, and maybe watch a movie. If the user wants to do anything more complicated, they have to head to a more powerful computer because the tablet is really just a companion device,” Jason said.

“The difference with our Toughpads is that they are built to be the primary device, so the tablet itself is powerful enough to function as a PC. While a Toughpad is designed to be portable, it’s also been created with all the features of a desktop PC, so that our customers don’t need to be constantly switching between devices. Specifications such as full size USB port, a HDMI port for plugging into a display and even a specific desktop dock, take the Toughpad from a mere tablet to a multi-tasking mobile office unit.”
