My Toughbook CF-30 Mk1 is ~eight years old, fanless, and -when equipped with a new battery- gets between six and eight hours of active, heavy use on a charge. :)
Other than the fact that it uses a 32-bit CPU (the Mk2 variant uses a 64-bit CPU), it's still quite a nice laptop.
- exDM69 11y agoThe Toughbook looks like a really cool laptop, but at 3.6 kg of weight, you can't really compare it to an 1.3 kg Skylake laptop. There's plenty of heat sink in that big metal chassis.
- simoncion 11y agoIt is -however- a >5 year old, fanless laptop with many, many hours of battery life. :) It's also substantially more durable than the vast majority of laptops out there, due in large part to its chunky construction. It's a pity that Panasonic failed to choose the low voltage variants of the CPU in the CF-31 (and -thus- had to add a fan into the machine). It's awfully nice to have a laptop with no non-hinge moving parts to wear out.
