Panasonic Toughbook S9 – Built Lighter and Tougher

Armored and light are no longer restricted to a PT-76 Soviet Light Amphibious Tank, a Mark II British Infantry Tank or a Tetrarch Light Tank – the new Panasonic Toughbook S9 laptop might not be a hulking world war era behemoth of destruction but it’s still a rough and tough powerhouse nonetheless. Made for the road warrior in you, this gadget is outfitted with an Intel Core i5 processor, a DVD drive, 11 hours battery life, and a 30-inch drop rating all compressed into an ultra lightweight 3 lb. package. It’s light enough to be the world’s lightest 12.1-inch laptop even with the integrated DVD drive.
For its armaments, the Toughbook S9 is equipped with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5-520M vPro Processor with 3MB Intel Smart Cache and Turbo boost technology, a 320GB shock-mounted flex-connect hard drive, 2GB DDR3 RAM and a 12.1-inch widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) LCD display with LED backlighting and anti-glare screen treatment. For its armor, this business-rugged laptop is protected by a magnesium alloy case and a spill-resistant keyboard design that guards against liquid spills of up to 6 ounces (200 cc).

Talking about survival, the lid and the base of the S9 are tough enough to withstand more than 220 lbs. (100 kg) of pressure and can endure a 30-inch drop to the base of the unit even when in use. It can also take falls up to 12 inches from any angle in a non-operating mode using MIL-STD-810G drop procedure.

Like tanks, the new Panasonic Toughbook S9 doesn’t come cheap at an estimated retail price of $2,499. So if you want to see more Panasonic Toughbook to choose from, click here.

ASUS N-Series Laptop with SonicMaster – Take the Laptop Audio to New Heights

Laptop may do many things but it is no music player – not a descent one at least. When it comes to sounds, audiophiles frown upon laptop speakers; those tiny notebook speakers just don’t pack enough punch or thump to be even considered a beat. This maybe the universal notion until ASUS decides to take a crack at the audio challenge and release their N-series notebooks with SonicMaster. In partnership with audio experts Bang & Olufsen, ASUS developed SonicMaster, a professional audio certification program which promises high-quality sound that bests the audio experience on any other laptop. SonicMaster branding means that laptops must first feature large speaker chambers, powerful amplifiers and extensive software-processing to create an exceptional audio experience.

The N-series will come in two models – the 15.6-inch N53 and 17.3-inch N73. Both are outfitted with a dual-core 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 520M, 1GB GeForce GT325 GPU, 4GB DDR3 and a Blu-ray drive. ASUS also integrated NVIDIA’s Optimus graphics-switching technology, which should aid in extending the battery life when the GPU is not being used. The smaller model can also be installed with a 2.4GHz Core i3 370M and a 1GB GeForce 415M. The N53 features a 1,366×768 pixel resolution screen with a glossy finish, while N73 gets whooping 1,600×900 resolution. Both SonicMaster certified N-series laptops should be available anytime now from major consumer electronics retailers. The N53 is tagged between £649.99 and £999, while the larger N73 will cost around £1,099.
