According to the company, its new range of Toughbooks can be dropped 76cm whilst running (the height of an average desk), withstand 100kg of pressure and are splash proof.

For further durability corporate buyers will also be offered a 16GB solid state drive in place of the standard 80GB spinning disk.

Panasonic claims a seven hour battery life for the T7 and W7 12.1in units, with a half hour reduction in running time for models with an optional HSDPA mobile broadband chipset.

Panasonic already has 64% of the European market for fully-ruggedised laptops, however, the company hopes that the new models, and the move to sell to smaller businesses and prosumers, will make it a significant player in the ultraportable market.
