No surprises here since Panasonic already unveiled most its TOUGHBOOKs and its TOUGHPAD last week at CES, but the news here is that these devices will be available in Japan starting from the end of this month for the CF-19, CF-31 and CF-H2 series, middle of February for the CF-C2 and middle of March for the FZ-G1 or TOUGHPAD.

But let’s start with the FZ-G1 or TOUGHPAD. Available in two flavors with a WWAN model and a Wireless-LAN one only the FZ-G1 will come by default with Windows 8, an Intel Core i5-3437U vPro CPU at 1.90GHz, 4GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD, a 10.1 IPS (800cd/m2) WUXGA (1920×1200) touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0, HDMI out in just 1.1kg and an battery life spam announced for 9hrs!

The other models from the TOUGHBOOKs series including the CF-C2, CF-19 and CF-H2 all comes with a touchscreen and with a battery life announced at 11hrs, 10hrs and 7.5hrs respectively and 14hrs for the CF-31 which unlike the other models does not come by default with a touchscreen

Of course all models above are freeze-proof, waterproof, dust-proof and shockproof!
