Anybody hear about this new beast? 2-in-1 detachable toughbook, model number is CF-20. Should be available soon if not now, looks good. Nice to see them using U-blox for the GPS option, rather than some other solution.
Here's the page from Panasonic:

If I'm late to the party on this one, feel free to let me know, I just didn't see any posts on TBT for this new member of the Toughbook family.

Re: CF-20 Available this year!
A wee bit late. We got wind of it last winter and Rob created a CF-20 subforum that you obviously missed. To be fair, a post here seems appropriate.

Re: CF-20 Available this year!
592 SKU's? Sounds like we are spoiled for choice. Way out of my price range though. I'm back on the job hunt so I'm just going to enjoy the two Toughbooks I have.
