Comment on Panasonic Toughbook Tablet

Comments

Dimensions/Weight: 18.7”(L) x 13.1”(W) x 0.5”(D), 5.3 lbs.

Weighs more than a MacBook Pro 13 (4.5 lbs). This should be marketed as a body-building tool. In fact, I'm not sure the models in the "Solutions" page are actual users, because they don't have gigantic forearm muscles required to hold a 20" 5.3lbs screen from one corner:

I was going to comment on the same thing -- I'd tried the same positions holding a 17 & 15 inch MBPs to get an idea of how heavy that would be. It was tolerable for a minute or so, and I'm a rock climber blessed with gigantic forearm muscles.

Also lighter than most desktops with 20" screens.

Lighter than many textbooks
