Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1 7" 1.6 GHz i5 1 TB SSD 8 GB DDR3L

Compact rugged tablet for field professionals

The Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1 is a 7-inch fully rugged Windows tablet built for mobile workers who need a durable, daylight-readable device in challenging environments. It runs Windows 10 Pro on a 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with 8 GB of DDR3L 1600 memory and a 1 TB SSD. Integrated 4G LTE multi-carrier, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 keep teams connected on site.

Suited for gloved outdoor use.

The high-sensitivity multi-touch display works with heavy gloves and in direct sunlight, making it ideal for logistics, utilities and public-safety crews. The single USB port and sole docking connector limit peripheral expansion, so office users who need multiple monitors or high-speed accessories should consider a different form factor. No optical drive is fitted.

7-inch 1280 x 800 glove-capable touchscreen

The 7-inch IPS panel at 1280 x 800 resolution is the defining specification: it determines whether the device fits a vehicle mount, a handheld workflow or a fixed workstation. Buyers who need a larger canvas for detailed schematics or split-screen apps will find the screen too small.
