The ToughBook CF-Y7 is the best ToughBook Executive model yet - it's light, well featured and very robust. Yes, it's expensive compared to the 14.1 and 13.3in competition, but none of those machines are guaranteed to withstand being knocked off your desk or being doused in liquid. The battery life may not be quite as good as the outgoing CF-Y5, but at well over six hours it's still a very capable performer on the move, and the improved hardware specification more than makes up for this. Ultimately, for anyone that wants a semi-rugged notebook, that's still light enough to carry around all day, the CF-Y7 will fit the bill perfectly.

I am in the army and i fell into one of these laptops just before my current deployment. it has been dropped, spilled on, gotten fine sand blown into it outside in a sandstorm, and has kept on moving like it didn't care. there are only a few complaints i have, the RAM is proprietary to Panasonic, and does not come in a size larger than 2gb that i could find, replacement ram is also quite expensive. and the DVD drive is pretty noisy. That having been said, the battery life is exceptional, and it actually still has the power to play most popular games (command and conquer, all varieties, and wow) at medium settings fairly smoothly. which for an exec laptop is fairly uncommon. since i got mine for free i can't complain about the price point too much, but i can see why it does go for the price it is.
