It runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i7-8665U vPro processor with 16GB DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD.

Modular xPAK Expansion and Connectivity

A 24-pin docking connector allows backwards compatibility with previous generation docks to protect existing infrastructure investments. Two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C port handle peripherals while an HDMI 2.0 output drives external displays. Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 provides wired networking and a 3.5mm audio jack supports headsets. Dual Pass and a Nano-SIM 4FF slot enable 4G LTE connectivity alongside Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for continuous field communication.

Included Adapter and 90-Day Coverage

The package ships with the Toughbook FZ-55 MK1 laptop and its power adapter so the system is ready to deploy immediately. A 90-day warranty from the rugged specialist covers the Grade A cosmetic condition unit. User-upgradeable xPAK modules for I/O, optical drives, authentication readers and barcode scanning are not included but can be added later to match evolving mission requirements.

Questions about this item

How long does the 4.80 GHz turbo boost hold before the i7-8665U throttles under full load?

The Core i7-8665U runs at 1.9 GHz base and can reach 4.80 GHz turbo; sustained all-core speeds depend on the semi-rugged chassis cooling and workload.

What fan noise and surface temperatures should I expect after hours of continuous use?

The FZ-55 MK1 uses a fan-assisted design rated for all-day battery life; noise and heat rise with CPU load but stay within semi-rugged operating limits.

Which docking accessories or expansion modules do I need to add for the 24-pin connector to work?

The 24-pin docking connector is compatible with existing Toughbook 55 docks and user-swappable xPAK modules for I/O, optical drives or authentication readers.
