Panasonic, announced the FZ-Q2 2-in-1 Toughpad®, the latest addition to its industry leading Toughbook® product family. With a standard full-sized keyboard and built-in protection, the semi rugged FZ-Q2 is purpose built from the inside out to provide the durability that mobile users need and Panasonic is known for. Designed specifically for the professional mobile worker, the semi rugged FZ-Q2 provides reliable 4G connectivity and includes a field-serviceable solid-state drive (SSD) and battery to ensure the device has a long and stable life cycle—ultimately increasing return on investment (ROI) and lowering the total cost of ownership for enterprise customers.
Equipped with the latest 6th Generation Intel® Core™ m5 vPro™ processor, the semi rugged FZ-Q2 2-in-1 combines advanced performance with a flexible form factor, making it ideal for enterprise deployments. Features like dual band 4G LTE wireless are ideal for field service and transportation applications that require reliable connectivity while retail customers can benefit from its rugged durability and desktop cradle solution for hybrid POS systems and back office environments. The FZ-Q2 semi rugged can be safely sanitized with a disinfectant solution for home health and food service or inspection applications. Additionally, the FZ-Q2 semi rugged is equipped with a unique HDMI-in1 feature for the cable industry and on-site diagnostics. Its flexible form factor combined with true enterprise-grade features make the FZ-Q2 semi rugged ideal for highly mobile jobs that demand a semi-rugged tablet.
FZ-Q2 2-in-1 semi rugged tablet
The FZ-Q2 2-in-1 semi rugged tablet comes standard with a full sized backlit keyboard to enable easy completion of heavy data entry tasks and can be easily detached to provide users with a lightweight, portable tablet. The spill-resistant keyboard uses a direct (non-wireless) interface with the tablet to ensure reliable connectivity in a variety of environments.
Powered by the latest Microsoft Windows 10 Pro operating system, the FZ-Q2 Semi-rugged offers a flexible form factor and is purpose built to withstand the daily wear and tear of any job, both in the office and out in the field. Unlike the delicate design of consumer tablets, the FZ-Q2 can withstand dust, drops and vibration—the most common sources of damage or failure. In addition, because consumer tablets are not equipped with a replaceable battery, once their lifetime charging capability has been reached they are unusable. In contrast, like all Panasonic Toughbook computers and tablets, the FZ-Q2 includes a field serviceable battery, significantly extending the economic life of the tablet. The FZ-Q2 also delivers much longer life battery than a consumer device for increased productivity and minimal downtime.
Offering a full HD display and anti-reflective touchscreen, the FZ-Q2 provides superior visibility under bright lighting conditions for workers that spend much of their time outdoors. An optional solid-state hard drive (SSD) heater for use in extremely cold environments ensures users can count on the FZ-Q2 tablet to start up and perform wherever the job takes them. Delivering the performance and reliability Panasonic is known for, the FZ-Q2 and the entire Toughbook product family saves companies from costly IT support time and repairs and increases the return on their overall mobile computing investment.
