Panasonic have announced an updated, premium edition of its W8 Toughbook notebook for the Japanese market which sees the introduction of an Intel X-25M 80GB SSD (as opposed to the standard edition’s 120GH HDD) offering 250MB/s read and 70MB/s write speeds, the addition of which sees the new premium Panasonic W8 Toughbook come in as 15 grams lighter than the non-SSD version.
Apart from the addition of an SSD, the updated W8 Toughbook comes with high-strength aluminium shell, though Panasonic Japan’s press release, as linked below, offers little in the way of additional specifications – so we assume that part from the inclusion of a solid state drive little else has changed from the original ’standard’ version of the W8.
There’s no work concerning pricing at this stage.
