- Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile Technology used for low power consumption and high-performance
-
The heart of the TOUGHBOOK consists of three components: Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset, and Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965 AGN. Power consumption is lowered and an optimized wireless LAN function is provided to achieve the best in mobile computing.
- High-density battery for long running life

Long running life is achieved by an industry top-standard high-capacity lithium ion battery pack (W7:2,900 mAh, Y7:2,850 mAh).
- Super long-life backlight system slashes power consumption
-
The same brightness with only about 70% the power consumption of an ordinary LCD panel is achieved using a system with a proprietary light guide plate, high-reflectivity reflector, and high-efficiency reflection sheet. Also, optimized internal materials and increased FL lamp diameter more than double the working life, which decreases the need for backlight replacement.

★ WWAN model is also available that differs from the standard model in battery life.
*1 Measured using JEITA Battery Run Time Management Method 1.0. The Economy Mode (ECO) was disabled during measurement. When Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled, the operating time becomes approximately 20% shorter than when it is disabled.The period of battery operation time varies according to the operating environment, LCD brightness, and system settings.

-
The Wireless switch saves power by allowing you to turn it on and off as needed. It can also be set to turn WWAN, WLAN or Bluetooth™, systems on and off at the same time. This is convenient for the kind of on/off control required in hospitals, airports, etc.
- Limiting the battery charge level to 80% ensures a longer life
-
The TOUGHBOOK incorporates Panasonic's unique Economy Mode (ECO) , which prolongs the battery life by limiting the battery charge level to 80%. This function is highly effective because the TOUGHBOOK's low power consumption allows the battery to drive it longer, providing full mobile PC performance even at the 80% level.
* The battery drive time with Economy Mode (ECO) enabled is about 80% that with ECO Mode disabled.
- More time before battery
replacement -
The increased battery life means more time before the battery needs to be replaced, contributing to a reduction in TCO (total cost of ownership). This function is also environment-friendly because it reduces waste.
- Easy mode change to
match your use -
The TOUGHBOOK's Economy Mode (ECO) can be easily enabled and disabled. This makes it possible to use it in ECO Mode for everyday use, to extend the battery life, then to disable ECO Mode with the battery fully charged for extended operation outdoors and during business trips.
