Panasonic upgrades toughbook CF-U1 with new sunlight screen
Panasonic has upgraded its full function hand-held PC, the Toughbook CF-U1, with a revolutionary new sunlight screen technology and a 70% performance increase.
The Mark 2 generation of the CF-U1 uses Panasonic Transflective Plus technology to radically improve the reflection of sunlight from the display surface, enhancing screen clarity. The device also has a built-in vision light sensor that detects the level of sunlight and changes the screen backlighting accordingly, further improving visibility and the power efficiency of the device.
The upgraded CF-U1 also includes the enhanced powered Intel Atom Z530 1.6 GHz processor (up from 1.33Ghz). Intel's smallest and lowest power consuming processor, the Atom is designed specifically for small devices and features support for multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness all while delivering longer battery life.
In other improvements, the CF-U1 memory has been increased from 1GB to 2GB, Gobi2000 has been included for the WANN option and the operating system is Microsoft Windows 7 as standard, downgradable to Windows XP Pro service pack 3.
The CF-U1 is a highly portable and durable device that offers integrated features such as an LCD touchscreen, solid state drive as well as an optional fingerprint scanner for user authentication. Data capture is enabled using optional 1D and 2D barcode and RFID readers and a 2-megapixel digital camera. The Toughbook CF-U1 offers a 9-hour plus, hot swappable battery life and seamless connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and optional 3G-mobile-broadband internet connectivity, all within an extremely rugged package for maximum reliability.
