The Panasonic Toughbook CF-20 is distinct from other rugged computer models because of its small size and 2-in-1 capabilities. This laptop is a 2-in-1 computer because the keyboard base is detachable, allowing the screen to operate as a stand-alone, rugged tablet.
This dual functionality makes it an ideal choice for anyone who needs a small computer and a keyboard to walk around with. Some examples include warehousing, construction, fire fighting, EMS, etc.
Panasonic CF-20 Key Features
The Intel Core processor can run Windows 11 smoothly. We also have the option for a Windows 10 installation for $89 on our CF-20 Toughbooks if you require it.
It features two cameras: a 2MP front camera that is great for video conferencing and a rear 8-megapixel camera perfect for taking pictures of projects.

-
Magnetic stripe reader
-
Smart card reader
-
Contactless Smart card reader
-
9-pin true serial port
-
Additional USB port
Note that the RAM is not upgradeable in this unit. Most of the tablets come with 8GB of RAM. If you require 16GB of RAM, we recommend purchasing the Cf-20 with it.
Impressive Touchscreen Display
The Toughbook CF-20 has a 10.1-inch touchscreen with a 1920 x 1200 screen resolution. The Touchscreen is very responsive and has a 10-point capacitive multi-touch that allows it to work with gloves or wet hands. On top of that, it has an 800 nit screen brightness, which is ideal for working outside, in direct sunlight.
Portable, Rugged, And Durable
Panasonic’s CF-20 is built to some of the highest military standards. It earned its MIL-STD-810G for its resilience to drops, extreme temperatures, and more. Paired with that certification, the CF-20’s Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IP65.
The craziest part about the level of ruggedness in this convertible laptop is that even with this durability, including a magnesium alloy chassis, it still only weighs 3.9 pounds, making the CF-20 Toughbook the best lightweight and rugged option on the market.
Port Covers
One of the many reasons this fully rugged laptop has earned most of the rating is thanks to the port covers. These covers are watertight and dustproof. They are designed to improve durability by protecting the ports and upgrading slots while being user-friendly. Bob prefers the covers on this model compared to those on the Panasonic Toughbook CF-19.
Detachable Keyboard
Another great feature of the Panasonic Toughbook 20 is the detachable keyboard. A computer that can disconnect from the keyboard and operate as a tablet can be beneficial
for anyone moving constantly throughout the workday. It gives them the option of having a keyboard when needed and the freedom to remove it to use as a tablet.
Comfortable Keyboard
Even though the keyboard is removable, it does not mean quality is sacrificed. The Panasonic Toughbook CF-20 detachable keyboard has a nice feel when you type on it, and the keys are firm and bouncy. It also has a discreet backlight to be used in the dark. Improved upon greatly, the CF-20 keyboard outclasses the CF-19 keyboard in design and usability.
