Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1

Need a tablet for a tough work environment? Look no further.

Impressively resilient ; Zippy performance ; Excellent stylus ; All weather screen

Huge price-tag ; Thick and heavy

Indeed, Panasonic says the Ethernet port is an optional extra, and the slot could alternatively be fitted with an extra USB slot, a microSD port or a serial port – the latter being another legacy port that some engineers need to use specialist...

Good performance ; Very sturdy ; Good connectivity ; Windows 8 Pro

Ugly design ; Fairly hefty

The standard battery life makes this only just capable of lasting a working day, but the sturdy build and snappy insides mean the ToughPad is a hardwearing and hardworking option. The standard battery life makes this only just capable of lasting a...

Panasonic ToughPad FZ-G1 review

There are added protective covers for the ethernet, USB 3 and other ports located around the edges of the device.

The ToughPad FZ-G1 lives up to its name and is well suited to outdoor use. You are paying quite a premium for that rugged design, but it’ll earn its keep on building sites and other environments that would be too harsh for a conventional laptop or tablet.

Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 review

The toughest Windows 8 tablet on the planet. But can it justify the near £2000 price?

Toughest tablet on the market; Full HD screen; Versatile

Middling specification; Expensive

If you work in extreme environments and need a fully ruggidised device, the Toughpad FZ-G1 is the machine of choice. It may be expensive, but it won't let you down when it counts.

Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 with Becrypt DISK Protect CPA review

The Toughpad lives up to its claim of offering business users a close to unbreakable Windows 8 tablet, which, thanks to the inclusion of Becrypt software, is also as secure as it can be. However costing a hefty £2,000 and featuring average battery life...

Extremely rugged, robust Becrypt security, decent performance

Only average battery life, disappointing screen lacks vibrancy, bulky

Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 rugged Windows 8.1 tablet

Panasonic's 10.1in tablet gets an upgrade to Windows 8.1, continues to protect against drops, water, and dust

Good performance ; High-res screen ; Field serviceable

Fan can get quite loud ; Screen looks a little grainy ; Could use a built-in handle

Panasonic's Toughpad FZ-G1 is an expensive 10.1in rugged tablet, but it's impressive. It runs fast, it has a good array of features and options, and it has a removable battery and relatively good field serviceability. All this in addition to being...
