Yes, Panasonic "business rugged" laptops are generally very well made, amazingly light and robust, and come with niceties that you seldom find elsewhere: a good, spill-resistant keyboard, optical drive, physical wireless kill switch, ability to survive 200 pounds of pressure on the lid, etc.
I have an older CF-Y7 model from 2008, with a 14-inch 1400x1050 screen. It's still my primary laptop. With Arch Linux and a tiled window manager, it feels surprisingly zippy.
