TrustedReviews has a review for Panasonic’s new laptop, the Toughbook CF-74.
Unlike the CF-29, the CF-74 doesn’t have a touch screen, which is a bit of a disappointment. I have to say that I was never a big fan of touch screens on notebooks, but I became a convert when I reviewed the CF-29. On the plus side, the screen is a bit more bright and vivid without the touch screen coating. Talking of brightness, this is the brightest notebook screen I have ever seen, bar none – so much so, that it actually hurt my eyes to sit in front of this machine with the screen at full brightness! Of course the point of this retina burning brightness is that when you’re using a notebook outside, the strong ambient light can make it difficult to see the screen, but the ToughBook CF-74 suffers no such issues.
The laptop features a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo T2400 processor, 80GB shock-mounted hard drive, Bluetooth connectivity, 512MB of DDR2 memory, and EV-DO support. It has a biometric fingerprint scanner and Trusted Platform Module (TPM v.1.2) that keeps the laptop secure. It sells for $4,169USD.
