So you're the type who actually needs to scrub behind the ears? Good, this UMPC is for you. The Toughbook CF-U1 is a "fully ruggedised" UMPC which runs XP or Vista on Intel's Menlow platform. So rugged in fact, that only a case of glass and gravel can withhold it from Intel's new
Atom branding. We can't tell you much without an official announcement or any PR types around to drone on (and on) about its Mil-Spec or Ingress ratings. Regardless, it'll still look great strapped to the dash of your Hummer as you pull into the strip mall for a milkshake. And that's all that really matters right, Mr. Milquetoast?

I guess the target audience is in the construction and mining industry. It's ugly. Clamshell with full size keyboard is the way to go

keyboard looks mighty uncomfortable versus full-size keying.
nice strategic cover-up of the model (?) designation next to the Panasonic logo there.

Uncomfortable keyboard you say? Not when you tap out your text with the pointy end of a P90.

Ruggerized laptop preloaded with Vista. Oh, that just too good.
