Genuine Windows^® XP Professional SP2

Embedded 3G wireless broadband

The optional embedded 3G wireless broadband allows you to stay conncted at super-fast speeds wherever you are in the country, keeping you more productive for longer. The internally embedded modem and inbuilt wireless antennas ensure crystal clear reception while not compromising the rugged features of the unit.

Enhanced security features

The Toughbook CF-30 features enhanced security to protect your valuable data. An embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 chipset prevents your HDD from being read, while the optional fingerprint reader and/or smart card reader gets rid of clumsy and insecure passwords. The CF-20 also features a cable lock slot to physically secure the unit.

Smart power that lasts longer

The Toughbook CF-30 provides up to 8 hours of battery life with the standard battery. It also includes a unique sensor to measure the temperature. This lets the unit charge to the best level for those conditions, so you get the most out of your battery. The multi-media pocket can also take a second battery, providing even longer life.

Stay in touch and connected

As well as 3G connectivity, WLAN, Bluetooth and GPS allows you to stay connected and locatable wherever you are.

Multiple input methods

The pressure sensitive screen allows users to operate the touch screen in many conditions using your finger, gloved hands or the touch pen.

Rugged, daylight readable LCD

The screen itself is as tough as it is clear. It has an extra bright active matrix (TFT) colour LCD panel with 1,000 cd/m2 brightness surrounded with dampers and mounted in a shock absorbing magnesium display casing. An exchangeable anti-reflective foil ensures you have a clear and glare-free view, even under outdoor conditions.

Serial Port

For connecting to legacy devices.

A tough computer built from the ground up

The new Toughbook's ultra-strong magnesium alloy casing is now lighter and stronger than ever. This is especially true for the lid that is reinforced thanks to the cross rib structure of the magnesium LCD cabinet which further protects the screen from damage. It's so tough, it can withstand drops of up to 90cm onto a hard surface - and easily passes tests to MIL-STD-810F standards, issued by the U.S. Department of Defence. With their lightweight carry handles, Toughbooks are perfect for working on the move.

Extreme features, for real protection

To protect your valuable data from damage the removable hard disk is mounted in an aluminium case surrounded by specially designed shock-absorbing material. Flexible connectors allow the hard disk drive to be isolated from the system board, protecting against the transfer of shock from one component to the next. And if you're worried about the cold, the hard disk drive even has an internal heater, allowing it to boot up and work in sub-zero conditions.

Water and dust proof seals

Water and dust proofing is essential to a healthy notebook. So we've created a fan-less design to avoid dust and other particles being sucked into the body of the computer. In addition, the individually sealed keyboard, touchpad and display are water and dust resistant to prevent any damage to the interior circuits. All key areas of the casing are sealed wtih a flexible elastomer sealant, ensuring all the seals are tight and durable to meet IP54 water and dust resistance standards.

Letting off heat

Because Toughbooks are water and dust-tight, an internal fan just wouldn't work. So our engineers created an innovative heat dissipation system based on heat pipe technology. This evenly distributes heat from the inside of the computer to the outside of the casing, avoiding the appearance of hot spots.

Tough keys for tough jobs

As with any notebook, your Toughbook's keyboard is likely to take a lot of punishment. So we've made the keys even more durable, testing each key with a 200gforce over 5 million times, to make sure they're built to last. And because we fully intend our Toughbooks to be used outdoors, we've made the keys black so they won't fade or turn yellow in the sun.

Dust-proof reinforced hinges

The hinges can handle the most punishing use thanks to their 2mm thick fixings and ultra-strong screws. They are also completely sealed from dust, and have been opened and closed 50,000 times to thoroughly test their durability.

Strong and secure port connectors

The fully ruggedized Toughbooks have port connections that sit deeper in the casing than before. Not only does this give you a stronger connection, it also avoids the risk of them being knocked out and damaged if you move your Toughbook around whilst it's connected. The connections themselves are tested 20,000 times. Integral connector covers keep out dust and moisture to make sure you are able to work outside in all conditions.
