Panasonic Toughbook 55 MK3 Military Laptop
Panasonic has long been producing tough Toughbook-specific military laptops for specialists working in more aggressive environments according to certain criteria. This time, the manufacturer introduced the Toughbook 55 MK3 modular laptop, which is equipped with a 13th generation Intel Core processor and a sturdy case to protect the device from external influences.
Tough and waterproof screen
Toughbook 55 MK3 has a 14-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1366×768 pixels or 1920×1080 pixels. In the second case, it is a panel with touch control support, maximum brightness of 1000 CD/m², as well as anti-glare and anti-reflective coating.
The laptop body is made of magnesium alloy and comes with a handle for easy transport. The keyboard is protected from moisture and the screen is surrounded by a slightly protruding frame so that the screen is not damaged if it falls. This laptop is not afraid of falling from a height of one meter (MIL-STD-810H), as well as shocks, vibrations, low temperatures, and sudden changes in temperature. Protection against moisture and dust meets IP53 standards. Another interesting feature is the presence of a heater next to the SSD, which helps the device operate at low ambient temperatures.

The design provides two slots for installing RAM modules (DDR4-3200 GHz with a capacity of 16 to 64 GB) and a solid-state NVME drive of 512 GB to 2 TB. The Toughbook 55 MK 3 is equipped with a loud MaxxAudio Waves speaker system and a pair of noise canceling microphones.
