The Panasonic Laptop is definitely my favorite laptop.  The Toughbook series of Panasonic Laptops are definitely something to see.  I am building this site because I first and foremost like these laptops.  But more importantly there is a strong need for information on where to find parts and items for the various models at reasonable prices.

I will be continually adding additional pages to this website.  But for the most part we will start out talking about the Panasonic Toughbook CF-48.  This is Panasonic’s semi-rugged model and started out with a Pentium III 600mhz Intel Processor.  Our favorite Panasonic Laptops dealer has them in stock now.  They also carry a number of parts for the CF-48 and other various Toughbook models.

Why would you want a Panasonic Toughbook Laptop?

I get this question all the time.  The reason that this question is even asked is because of a lack of knowledge about laptops in general.  I basically break laptops in general down to 3 categories. 

1. Throw away retailed laptops

2. Corporate grade laptops

3. Rugged built to last laptops

The first category relates to those laptops that they sell in stores like Staples or BestBuy.  These laptops will sell for between 600 and 800 dollars in general.  They include some good specs and have a 1 year warranty.  Some common models are the Dell Inspiron, Compaq Presario, or HP Pavilion.  And needless to say you will get a throwaway laptop that will work for just over the warranty period and after that things will happen.  You throw it away and buy another one.

The next grade of laptops are the Corporate laptops.  These laptops are sold to the corporations which will usually lease them.  These are the laptops that you see on the used laptop dealers websites.  They were built much better and brand new sell between 3000 and 4000 dollars.  They come with a 3 year warranty and include such models as the IBM ThinkPad T series, HP Omnibook series and the Dell Latitude series.  These are not usually for sale in the retail stores and must be purchased brand new from a Value added reseller of computer equipment.

The rugged built laptops are what this website is about.  These laptops are what we will be discussing on this website.  These laptops are built to last and are used in some pretty harsh environments.  I hope that you enjoy and find some good information about these laptops on our website.

I would like to introduce you to our website www.usedlaptops.net

online parlodel which talks about the Panasonic Toughbook laptops and how ruggedized they are.  These laptops are used by Law Enforcement and Public Safety organizations because as the name implies they can withstand some harsh environments.  Bob Johnson’s Computer Stuff sell these type laptops on the website at www.bobjohnson.com

Price however can be very expensive depending on what you are looking for.  Of course since these are used Panasonic Toughbooks they will not have that $3000+ price tag.  In fact you can find them for under $100.

Bob Johnson’s Computer Stuff Inc has been Green when green was just a color.  Thats right these units are refurbished used equipment.  Not only can you save money but you can save the planet as well.  Not only do we recycle any electronics that we can not refurbish we price the units that are refurbished at prices that allow normal use to be affordable.

Here is a page that lists some links to laptop reviews on the various Panasonic Toughbook models.  The Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 is one example of what is reviewed.  These rugged laptops are well built and have a high rating from most users.  However the cost can be inhibitive to say the lest.  Just a base rugged laptop brand new from Panasonic can run upwards to $4000.  This is one reason that used Toughbooks are becoming more popular with government agencies and smaller police departments across the country.

When you weigh the cost of a brand new Toughbook versus the cost of a used ruggedized Panasonic it is easy to see why the used equipment is becoming more popular.  In addition with the popularity of “Going Green” reusing and recycling used computer equipment is the right thing to do.

The bonus is that you save money and save the planet.
