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

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...

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.

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.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is the first mirror-less Digital Interchangeable Lens camera that redefines how a system camera should work. It has got all the traditional DSLR manufacturers worried …
Expert review by (v3.co.uk)
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...
