Japanese electronics company Panasonic has announced updates to the standard edition of the Toughpad 4K tablet. The announcement was made at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show.
Combined with accessories such as the optional Panasonic desktop cradle and carrying case solution, the tablet can be used as both a desktop PC and tablet.
First introduced in 2013, the Toughpad 4K is the world’s first 50-cm (20-inch) tablet with a 4K resolution display. It features 230 pixel-per-inch IPS Alpha LCD display with a 15:10 aspect ratio and wide viewing angles that goes beyond Ultra HD resolution, for professionals in fields where visual clarity and collaboration are essential. The new HDMI 2.0 input, alongside other connectivity options such as USB 3.0, Intel Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 (class 1), Ethernet and Mini DisplayPort output, allow professionals to connect a greater range of peripherals and tools directly to the tablet for more efficient workflows.
Now featuring a 5th Generation Intel Core i5 vPro processor, as well as HDMI 2.0 input to enhance efficiencies in professional video applications– and priced within reach of a greater range of businesses – the updated Toughpad 4K again sets the standard for productivity in fields such as video editing, architecture, design, photography and healthcare.
Running Windows and built on the Intel vPro platform, the Toughpad 4K offers unique hardware and OS-based enhanced security features, remote manageability and capabilities designed to increase end user productivity and data protection. With a magnesium alloy frame enclosed in a reinforced glass fiber case, the lightweight, business-rugged tablet is built to handle a 76-cm (30-inch) drop to its back while operating, and 12-inch drops to 26 angles when nonoperational.
