Introduction

The Panasonic Toughbook R7 isn’t a notebook you can purchase at Best Buy. It’s a Japanese model imported to the US and it’s pretty unique in that it’s even more portable than an ultra-portable like the Apple MacBook Air. It has a claimed 8 hour battery life, weighs just 2lbs. and is ruggedized to handle the demands of briefcase and backpack life. It even comes in 11 different colors. Though it’s obviously a niche product, it’s great for folks who spend long stretches away from a wall socket and need something small, light and rugged to tote around.
