Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop Battery
By Brian Westover When you leave the comforts of the office for the rougher environs of the street or the great outdoors, you don't want your laptop to fail you when the ride gets bumpy or when things get messy. For anyone that works from their car or out in the field, Panasonic has the Toughbook line of semi-rugged laptops. The Toughbook CF-53 is a 14-inch laptop that can take a beating without missing a day's work, making it your ideal companion when you need a laptop that's as reliable as you are.
The Panasonic Toughbook has all the trappings of past Toughbooks, like the Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 with battery like Lenovo IdeaPad Y550 Battery, Lenovo L08S6D13 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad U550 Battery, Lenovo 57Y6309 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad E50 Battery, Lenovo 42T5263 Battery, Lenovo 51J0500 Battery, Lenovo 57Y4186 Battery, Lenovo ASM 42T4796 Battery, Lenovo FRU 42T4819 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad W520 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad T520 Battery, from the inside and out magnesium alloy construction to locking port covers. Both the keyboard and touchpad are sealed to protect against moisture, and the hinges are both dust- and water-resistant. It's built to meet MIL-STD-810G certification standards for shock and vibration, extremes in temperature, and resistance to dust and moisture. The result is a laptop that can handle everything from a sloshed drink on the keyboard to a drop from waist height. Whether you're in the cab of a police cruiser, parachuting out of a C130, or off-roading to a remote construction site, the Toughbook CF-53 should shrug off whatever abuse it encounters.
As a result of all that rugged construction the Toughbook CF-53 isn't the slimmest or lightest laptop on the market. Its 2.2-inch thickness is equivalent to three ultrabooks stacked one atop another, and the beefy 2.2 by 13.4 by 11.1 inches (HWD) build makes for chunky weight, tipping the scales at 5.8 pounds. To help make it a little easier to tote around, it also sports a briefcase-style handle.
The Toughbook CF-53 has a 14-inch display, and while the 1,366-by-768 resolution won't be winning it any awards, it is readable in direct sunlight, and a preinstalled film protects the display from scratches and is replaceable by the user. The native brightness may be great in sunlight, but indoors you may want to dial it down for the sake of your eyeballs. The spill-resistant keyboard offers a fairly comfortable typing experience, but the touchpad is small (2.0 by 3.2 inches) and the right and left mouse buttons are rubbery and stiff.
Even the AC adapter cable for the Toughbook CF-53 is ruggedized, with four inches of ribbed reinforcement on the plug end (most laptops use a half inch). Along the back and sides of the Toughbook CF-53 are several locking covers which conceal two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, outputs for HDMI and VGA, a LAN connection, a Serial Port, and a card reader (SDXC). A case lock slot lets you physically secure the laptop, and a tray loading optical drive lets you read and burn DVD-RW discs and CDs. On the right, behind a locking cover, is an empty ExpressCard slot, while on the left, secured with screws, is a cover for an optional Smart Card slot.
