Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 13.1" Touch 2.5GHz i5 MK2 256GB SSD 8GB RAM Windows 10 Pro

Fully rugged 13.1-inch laptop

The Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 is a fully rugged laptop built to MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F and IP65 standards. It suits field engineers, emergency services and mobile professionals who need a computer that survives drops, shock, vibration, dust and water jets. The 13.1-inch sunlight-viewable XGA touchscreen works with the included digitizer pen for precise input in bright outdoor conditions. It is not for buyers who want a thin ultrabook or a high-resolution media display.

Installing common peripherals

The chassis uses sealed port covers to maintain its IP65 rating, so every cable and peripheral must be disconnected before the covers are closed. Opening the memory or storage bays requires removing captive screws and lifting a gasketed door; the gasket must seat cleanly or the ingress protection is lost. The single-core Intel Core i5 MK2 processor and DDR3 800 memory are not user-upgradable beyond the factory 8 GB configuration. Buyers who need a second storage drive or more RAM should look elsewhere.

Sunlight-viewable XGA touchscreen

The 1024 x 768 XGA LED panel is the specification that decides suitability for outdoor workflows. Its transflective design remains readable in direct sunlight where standard indoor panels wash out completely. Touch and digitizer pen input operate reliably with gloves or in wet conditions. If your application needs higher pixel density, wider colour gamut or a larger canvas, this display will not meet the requirement.
