Panasonic first to split the Intel Atom

Ruggedised thing looks plumb ugly
A REPORT said that Panasonic is likely to be one of the first to use Intel’s Atom chips.
Akihabara News said that Panasonic will make a ruggedised Toughbook version which it is showing off at SnowBIT.
There’s no details of pricing, but Akihabara has some pictures of it.
Don’t expect it to be cheap – Panasonic Toughbook machines generally carry a price premium. And judging from the pictures, the keyboard will be a little bit on the pesky side too and it looks rather unattractive.
It has a touch screen, but the keyboard looks very fiddly. µ
