Panasonic makes the Toughbook 33mk4 more versatile with an improved screen and 5G

TOUGHBOOK 33mk4 features ‘Raptor Lake’ processing power, 5G connectivity and unique 12-inch screen, providing increased ease of use for all mobile user requirements.

The Panasonic TOUGHBOOK 33mk4 2-in-1 is a tablet with a detachable screen that pushes the boundaries of what is possible from a mobile, rugged device.

It was born with 5G network connectivity, delivering ultra-low latency, faster response time, improved reliability and higher download speed for mobile workers, in any environment and for any application.

33mk4 is the latest TOUGHBOOK that can connect to standalone 5G networks. With the proliferation of next-generation IoT and AI applications, market demand is growing exponentially for devices that can quickly and securely transmit data when in the field.

Increased performance handles demanding applications with ease

The new TOUGHBOOK 33mk4 has a greater processing power compared to its predecessor, which uses the Intel Core i5 processor (13. generation) with Intel vPro technology (Raptor Lake) to run the most demanding applications on Windows 11 Pro. For those who need additional computing power, the Intel Core i7 processor (13. generation) with Intel vPro technology as an option.

3:2 aspect ratio increases productivity

Panasonic has seen a shift among end users in the detachable 2-in-1 tablet market who are looking for larger screens to increase productivity in the field. By combining superior Intel-processing power with the performance of Windows 11 Pro, the 33mk4 comes into its own for users who need to run demanding applications on a 12-inch screen. The functionality of these applications is becoming increasingly complex, requiring larger screens for increased clarity through higher resolution and better usability.

To solve this, the 33mk4 has a QHD (Quad High Definition) display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2160 x 1440. This provides increased screen real estate compared to 14-inch displays in the 16:9 aspect ratio. This ensures that mobile workers can better visualize data-intensive applications on the screen when using a 12-inch tablet compared to larger models.

Superior user experiences in all industries

The 33mk4’s screen size, connectivity and performance provide increased versatility for mobile workers in a range of sectors. It features Intel Iris X Graphics technology that provides superior graphics performance and on-screen detail for mobile workers in field services, automotive, utilities, defense and logistics.

For supply and defense mobile field service workers, the 33mk4’s screen size, resolution and crystal-clear image in challenging lighting conditions make it easier to view technical drawings, schematics and manuals and maps.

When used in the warehouse, the 33mk4’s 12-inch screen size and 3:2 aspect ratio provide more space, enabling mobile workers to use an on-screen keyboard. The screen resolution and size is also ideal for car diagnostics where the 33mk4 can be mounted on the steering wheel during testing. This enables users to quickly and efficiently use real-time applications, improving productivity.

33mk4 is also certified for use on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This provides additional flexibility and security for mobile workers who need secure Linux-based solutions, with Panasonic able to handle device certification and testing on behalf of customers.

Dirk Weigelt, Senior Product & Solutions Manager at Panasonic TOUGHBOOK, says: “Mobile workers need high-bandwidth 5G connectivity available in the most extreme environments to access mission-critical data faster than ever before. They also require more screen space so that they can quickly switch between programs and enter input without error – either as a tablet or a traditional notebook. The 33mk4 directly addresses all these needs, with its 3:2 aspect ratio a game-changer to increase productivity in the field without hindering mobility.”

Still a leader in battery life and durability

Despite the addition of 5G connectivity and increased processing power, the 33mk4 offers up to 15 hours of battery life (with extended battery), giving mobile workers complete peace of mind when using power-hungry applications in the field. It enables them to continue working for longer and maximize efficiency and productivity when they need it most.

TOUGHBOOK 33mk4 also features improved Bluetooth and optional GPS connectivity compared to its predecessor and market-leading IP65 rated dust and water resistance, independently tested to MIL-STD 810H and IEC 60529 standards.
