Semi-rugged magnesium laptop

The Panasonic Toughbook CF-54 is a new semi-rugged laptop built around a magnesium chassis with a honeycomb structure for strength. It includes a spill-resistant keyboard and touchpad area, a user-replaceable battery and a user-replaceable 256 GB SSD. The 14.0-inch HD display runs at 1366 x 768 pixels without touch input. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is installed and cannot be upgraded to Windows 11.

Windows 10 Pro locked to version 10

The operating system is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and the supplier states it is not upgradeable to Windows 11. This means the laptop will remain on Windows 10 for its usable life, which affects software compatibility and security updates. Buyers who require Windows 11 or later must choose a different device.

Field workers needing legacy ports

This unit suits technicians and field staff who need a serial port, DVD multi-drive, HDMI, three USB 3.0 ports, Ethernet and an SD card slot in a durable 14-inch chassis. It is not for users who need a touchscreen, a higher-resolution panel or an operating system that supports Windows 11 and future releases.
