Panasonic Toughbook CF-W5
A durable and highly portable laptop for those with deep pockets
The CF-W5 is Panasonic's latest attempt to woo the corporate elite and those with deep pockets into buying a tougher ultra-portable laptop.
Unlike the fully ruggerdised CF-74 (see www.pcw.co.uk/2162709) we reviewed a few months back, it isn't an ugly laptop covered in rubber bits. Instead, the silver plastic casing is subtle and attractive.
Panasonic brands the CF-W5 as semi-ruggerdised, which means it should withstand a 30cm drop. The hard disk has air-bag cushioning, so your data should be safe if the laptop is ever dropped from a height of 76cm. It can withstand a 100kg mass on top of it without the unit being damaged, thanks to ribbed casing on the back of the LCD.
We had no hesitation in putting all Panasonic's claims to the test and the laptop passed with flying colours, which is quite an impressive feat given it weighs only 1.6kg, including the power supply.
