New Toughbook G2 tablet set to steal the hearts of mobile workers


The ultimate versatile #tablet is designed with next generation communications, usability and security in mind, alongside the need for legacy systems access.

BRACKNELL, UK. 29th June 2021 – #panasonic today announced the successor to its best-selling fully rugged #tablet with the introduction of the TOUGHBOOK G2. Designed with next generation communications, usability and security in mind whilst still providing access to important legacy systems, the TOUGHBOOK G2 is the ultimate versatile tool for mobile workforces.

New additions include eSIM and future-proofed wireless communications capabilities for those in the field as well as increased performance, double RAM and storage, ideal for workers needing access to CAD design and schematics. The device delivers improved screen brightness for visibility and increased security as a Microsoft Secured-Core PC. Lastly, it offers enhanced flexibility and ease of use with an additional user-exchangeable expansion bay area to add contact smart card and contactless smart card readers, as well as three customisable buttons on the front frame of the display for quick click.

The TOUGHBOOK G2 will be available in two versions – Standard and a Quick Release SSD model for data sensitive sectors such as emergency services, police forces and defence. The device can also be equipped with an optional emissive backlit keyboard that includes an additional USB Type-A and Type-C ® port. With this capability, the TOUGHBOOK G2 will be a superior successor for both the TOUGHBOOK G1 and TOUGHBOOK 20.

The TOUGHBOOK G2 will come with a rich eco-system of dedicated accessories including vehicle docks for use with or without the keyboard, as well as hand straps, shoulder straps and cases with sanitizable options. For previous TOUGHBOOK G1 and TOUGHBOOK 20 customers, the G2 will be backwards-compatible with the majority of accessories from those devices, including vehicle docks, allowing a seamless transition to the new device.

The TOUGHBOOK G2 is ideally suited to a wide range of mobile work across a variety of sectors. In logistics, the device is perfect for warehouse management tasks or, using its docking and mounting options, as a more flexible alternative to a fixed forklift computing solution. In Field Service maintenance and repair, the 4G connectivity, flexible features for Serial port, 2nd LAN, barcode reader or thermal imaging, and up to 18.5 hour extended battery life come into their own. With a Windows Hello capable 2MP front camera for calls back to the office and an 8MP rear camera with LED flash for capturing documentation and a digitiser pen for accurate biometric signature capture, it’s also fully equipped for reporting and customer-facing interaction.
