Panasonic

Ruggedized or "tough" notebook computers were originally designed to meet military demands for a more durable system that could hold up in war conditions and in the harshest weather.  Panasonic has been the leader in the ruggedized market and continues to develop new technologies and models for the military and other user types.

Panasonic's rugged design has become popular among other users because of their durability.  Here are some of the industries now using Toughbooks.
