Toughbooks in popular culture?
Toughbooks in popular culture?
Was playing Tomb Raider 2013 and I saw that Lara had a CF-31 on her desk at a cutscene, are there any more references to these in pop culture?
Re: Toughbooks in popular culture?
There is a posting somewhere, either on this site or the other laptop forum panasonic site...but I can not find the link.

Apparently that's a CF-30 and not a 31 in TR2013 according to eno801 from NBR.. well damnit!
Re: Toughbooks in popular culture?
I've seen them in a load of films and TV this year!!!!!
Zero Dark Thirty, 24, Tomb Raider and a few more I can't recall
I'm currently in Edinburgh, Scotland for New Years and whilst in a Cafe I spotted the Scottish Water Board doing some pressure testing on the main road, I knew what they were doing as I work for a Water Company back home.
Went for a chat with the guy and turned out he was using a CF-53

Re: Toughbooks in popular culture?
That is a CF-31. You can tell by the rubber bumpers on the corners...larger than on the CF-30.

Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!
Motorsports - the only real sport. If it doesn't have a motor, it is just a game.
There is always something waiting at the end of the road, if you are not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.

I've seen a lot of CF-29s in some Call of Duty games, I think Modern Warfare 2 and 3 have them. Haven't seen any 30s or 31s though.

CF-29's were all over American Sniper. Also in a few episodes of The Wire which I recently binge-watched all 5 seasons over the holidays.
Daily drives a CF-31
