Panasonic Toughbook 55 Review

- Lisa Gade reviews the Panasonic Toughbook 55, a 14” rugged laptop with integrated handle and many modular bays for customization. Need a dedicated AMD GPU, different ports, a fingerprint scanner or optical drive? Swap them in! The FZ-55 is Panasonic’s semi-rugged laptop with Ultrabook class CPUs and up to a 1000 nit full HD touch screen with pen. Yes, there’s an even more rugged Toughbook 31 that’s designed to survive being dragged across the desert floors behind and ATV, but the 55 strikes a balance between durability and portability. 4 LTE is optional, it has 2 RAM slots, up to 2 M.2 SSDs and a backlit keyboard.

I always enjoy Lisa's reviews! Great to see "non-consumer" systems reviewed as well.
This is a marvel of engineering! That modular stuff is a lot.
Your videos are so calming for some reason
My IT department should just get this for me with the amount of times I've killed the crappy 11" Dell they give me.
I had fun watching this video! Thanks Lisa!
Congratulations on 800K to the whole Team , these reviews are always appreciated , it's not always about Gaming .. The one thing i remember about Panasonic is my grandparent's old Air conditioners in the house , still holding up!
The modular design is really cool.
yeah but at what *cost*
cowonaviwus is uwu Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
But more loss of space, no slim and more.
We have this and some older versions (still runs Windows XP) at work. It is impressive how long they last and that they still work well. Very nice laptops.
I like the way you show all details.
Love ur reviews
holy crap ive never seen anything like this - this is awesome
Totally agree!
These are great, I had the one you can drive a tank over. And now they apparently have a green backlit keyboard! “ it’s green! “ 😆
This is the ideal bridge between a notebook & a desktop...the best of both worlds. Too bad the design is relegated to businesses as opposed to mass consumers.
Being able to fully & easily customize your laptop out of the box should be the priority standard across the industry. Too many of us consumers prefer cheap, thin, and sealed tech...until its time for repairs.
The best tech reviewer on TH-cam IMHO.. 👍
congrats for 800k subs
Hello! Hopefully you'll do a review of the new Panasonic Toughbook 40. Thanks for all you do here.
"We're gonna look at all the secret squirrel modularity now." Love it.
I look forward to buying one of these in eight years. Just picked up a CF-C2 and it's a blast.
I love you and I love your videos, Lisa.
What I would really like, sometime, is a video about your favorites/recommendations.
A video about your favorite phones of 2020, top gaming laptop, best workstation laptops, budget gaming laptops, most unique products you love, etc.
I'm always curious about what you're using and what you enjoy enough to keep using yourself.
Thank you. Your review was intelligent and informative.
Nice to see the 55, I use the 54 with HD screen and non backlight keyboard, dropped it, spilled stuff on it, worked in the rain, and still is holding on. Hope on the 55 they managed to have a more robust SIM card holder.
Will you review the XPS 17??
Could you also take a look at the Acer Enduro line of laptops? The Enduro N3 in particular looks very interesting.
My kind of laptop.
I remember when the apple PowerBook had bays so you could have 2 batteries or 1 battery and a 2nd hard drive or a c.f. DVD drive or keep it empty for lighter weight.
Yes I had modular years ago when on the go. Work at home now so not necessary. But I highly recommend even just for extending battery life or the occasional DVD use, for any general use, does not require being on construction site to use.... Love these!
nice to see this line still going. i remember a year or so ago, it seemed there was nothing new in the pipeline from panasonic.
Now this is what I would drop money on a rugged laptop thank Lisa 👍🔥🤩🤩
I'm really considering this laptop as my next daily driver. Unfortunately ThinkPad no longer sells a model with hot swap-able batteries.... The modularity in this is fantastic. Would you pick this over the Dell? Can the port covers be removed or replaced if they break?
Lisa.. would you please make a review on asus expert book.. they say it has very long battery life..
I'm new to this kind of laptop and when I first saw it I literally thought it's the kind of device hackers sitting in cafés would use. 👀
I’m using it right now to hack you from a cafe
Sean I’m using it right now to hack you whilst you are hacking her
Sean and Navjot Singh as well as Lily Vuong- I’m using it right now to hack all of you, from a secure cafe in the middle of the desert. Please verify me the last 4 digits of your SSN as well as credit card info to finalize the hacking.

librem 14 is what hackers will use
That was great. Didn’t know they existed. Can’t wait for reviews of Samsung Fold 2 and Note 20 Ultra. Will help me decide which one should I get.
Love the review Lisa, sadly this is geared toward workers but love the idea of it. :-)
A Serial port?? I love this already
Awesome shirt! Yeah.... Life would be flat indeed without music! :-)
Love the handle
2:09 I am looking for a laptop for 3d printing and cad is what she said is it's not a good laptop for this?
I waited, waited and waited for a drop test. 🤣
they didn't want to damage the floor
I swear the last time I saw one of these was in “The Jackal”...
Specs, durability, modularity, portability, handle... That would be every engeener's dream if only it was waterproof too xD Bulletproof would be nice too)
Love Lisa's reviews! Speaking of semi rugged, is the T14i and T14a comming up soon?
Thinkpad of course
Where can I buy the upgrades?
I've been wanting the CF55 since the crustaceous period. Even so, I know it's up for refresh so I plan to hold off. I suspect WIFI6 and 5G with a more robust processor with base graphics similar to or greater than the add-on module.
Did I glaze over when the weight of this thing was mentioned? If I’m a construction manager doing hours of work in/out/around the field - the weight maters! Anyone?
That thing is pretty cool.
Despite its insane expandability, the laptop is surprisingly portable!
How do you open up the ports
I'm watching just for Lisa
Lisa, great vid as usual. Just one correction, the backlit keyboard is RGB so green is not the only option. You can change it to any color you like. Open Panasonic PC Settings Utility in the start menu. Mine is currently white. ;) Thanks to being deployed to work from home, my company said "buy a laptop on us" and I got this one. It's a great machine. Not my first Toughbook. They are awesome deals when you buy used ex-police units on ebay. I also have a CF-30 which is showing it's age but it's a TANK and won't die. I chose the semi rugged version this time as I don't work in a crazy environment. I'm not buying into the ultra thin non-serviceable machines. They have bitten me before, never again.
weird you did not test the pen.
The modularity of this thing is awesome. If only there was a consumer version without the handle and that price tag and with continuous releases of new modules. Sadly 98% of the general consumers aren't into these things so I guess a man can only dream.
1:44 you mean a diskette drive right? I think its Small Storage Diskette you mean right
what happened to modular phone? why they failed?
I am watching this video on my Dell Latitude Rugged 5424. I love mine
I got my Panasonic CF-74 for over 10 year every day in my Big Semi Truck no problem still works with out any problem but it is time to upgrade ;)
I'm interested in a new processor i7-8665u ? more Ram like 64GB , FHD 1000 biger display ? I'm looking for it ;)
Where i can buy thr vga separately
So they will be doing a refresh with 10th Gen CPU? That's promising.
How do I make it where it allows me to run Linux system and hacking components
good machine l need one badly how can l get one
I’m more amazed at people that come to a tech channel are completely clueless that Panasonic Toughbooks exist? They have only been around since forever, in fact I see them every day, every where. I guess you see what you want to see and know what you want to know.
modularity was what thinkpad was all about.. bring back the old thinkpads :(
the last thinkpad was known to have swapable batteries and now they glued them like apples
This is the trade-off of devices getting thinner and lighter.
I am all for it if it makes me able to switch the function and controll key.
They didn’t glue the batteries they are screwed in behind the case so therefore they did not glue them like apple did. The only thing is you have to remove the bottom cover in order to be able to swap out the battery but you can easily do that by unscrewing all the screws on the panel and around the battery and then it’s out no adhesive
@@reldies5364 All ThinkPad has this feature..
Hi Can we publish your review on our tech website.
It is fantastic.
I love this stuff..
Looks durable. The swapping of the modular bays seemed like they required screws to keep them in place. I think that is a big negative if you're out in the field the screws would be easy to misplace. Thanks for the review, enjoyed it.
All laptops should be like this
Is it bulletproof too? How would it last against a blow torch?
Buy one, find out, post about it.
Yeah it's crazy!
Ah Lisa, a perfect opportunity for, "and now for something [completely] differ."
I never thought about considering buying a Panasonic laptop...
Panasonic Toughbook: there is no substitute. Good to see it get some well-deserved air-time.
I just bought another CF-31 this morning. 😂
I'd like you to review the Lenovo ThinkPad X390 yoga, greetings.
I have an old Toughbook, and I mean OLD like, it has a T2300 Core Duo. And that thing was nearly indestructible. As of now the keyboard finally gave up. It's not particularly useful now in general. But it's still functioning. I would love to get my hand on another one. If I could afford one a Toughbook would be on top of the list for my daily driver. Right now I'm looking for a laptop that can play games. That is affordable and has a display that I can actually look at without hurting my eyes. Seriously what's with all the horrible IPS panels I keep coming across. Worst than regular TN panels.
This is some solid Friday night entertainment
Maybe a stupid question mobiele tech review but are you a company that builds computers, and you are reviewing computers for that company 🤔 (I sounds stupid but I really wanna know)
NO DROP TEST ???
I love my CF33. : )
Add a swappable keyboard “module” with maybe less water resistance, a track point, and better feel... and an AMD processor... and they’d have a sale here.
Yeah, not using AMD Pro processor cut down on battery life and performance massively, but considering that Panasonic would have to redesign the motherboard for it, perhaps in next generation? I mean, Renoir certainly proofed itself, unlike the lackluster Picasso.
Verpal yeah next gen would be fine.
I think that should start using some ARM cpus if you want battery life. Your prob not gonna be gaming on that, your gonna be looking at maps and stuff.
Where these kind of latops used?
Military is one place where these are used.
Optical drive?!? Real ports? Stylus? Touch display? Riot proof? SWEET!!!!!!!!
Fascinating ... scifi coming to life. It is interesting. Educational. Get's imagination going.
"Let's get a handle on this system" 😂
Makes me miss the modular Thinkpads.
65% sRGB coverage... this laptop reminds me of the old Dell from the '90, both from its look and display performance
Not to be mistaken with a TUF Book...
Oo a Tough Book! Finally get to have a expert's opinion of it!
Toughbook she said, she didn't even drop it. :-)
because she doesn't want to break the floor.
send price
A laptop which 99% of people will never need. This is a very special laptop for specific usage and industries.
Swappable GPU wow!
The army has these kind of laptop.
Back to 2002..….
Before everyone tried to be like apple where astetics are more important thant functionality.
I miss those days of the 7-row Thinkpad keyboards! That was peak space saving while keeping a full sized keyboard's functionality intact! If only those came back in full!
we sold panasonic like this laptop way back in 2003 to 2003,
The Swiss Army Knife of laptops
an RS232 port. nice
$2500 and up? Panasonic? And they riff Apple. Great review! I miss my HP Elite - 8 inches wide!!!
Cool.....👍👍👍
Laptop you probably need if your job require you to interact with a T-Rex quite often.
If touch screen will be perfect.
So this type of laptops do exist. I was wondering where Ramsay and Tej buys their laptops in fast and furious😛
?? 😵 ??
Nunca vi esse modelo no Brasil 🇧🇷.
