    Top-Quality CF 31 Panasonic Toughbook Refurbished Laptops

    Raw Power

    The CF 31, Panasonic Toughbook’s flagship, is one of the most durable fully rugged laptops. It features a full magnesium alloy case with a sturdy handle, MIL-STD-810G and IP65 certifications for protection against drops, dust, and water, and a shock-mounted, quick-release storage drive.

    With more power comes more heat. To manage and dissipate heat generated by the vastly more powerful processors, Panasonic has introduced a "hybrid cooling system" that uses a completely waterproof fan to dissipate heat as quietly and efficiently as possible.

    Rugged Durability

    The Panasonic CF 31 Toughbook offers unprecedented toughness. Consider it the Sherman tank of laptop computers. Panasonic manufactures nearly every component of its Toughbook line at its state-of-the-art Kobe factory.

    Unlike most computer manufacturers, Panasonic has consistently strived for perfection and integrity in the design and manufacture of the Toughbook line.

    The Panasonic Toughbook CF 31 further enhances the company’s solid reputation for durable construction. Additional improvements include MIL-STD-810G compliance and an impressive Ingress Protection. This means the CF-31 is completely water-resistant and completely protected from dust.

    Panasonic builds upon established Toughbook hallmarks, such as a strong magnesium alloy chassis and a shock-mounted hard disk caddy. The brand has also added spring-loaded port covers that securely latch into place and boast an incredible 6-foot drop rating.

    How Tough is "Tough"?

    • Can withstand operating temperatures from -20 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Altitudes up to 15,000 feet
    • Can withstand 310 pounds of pressure on its lid
    • Completely dustproof and highly water resistant
    • 6-foot drop rating while turned off
    • 3-foot drop rating while turned on and open

    Bright, Readable Display

    The CF-31 Panasonic Toughbook offers excellent outdoor viewability. Its daylight-readable screen is perfect for field surveys, search operations, and construction projects outdoors.

    The Panasonic Toughbook CF 31 laptop leverages the brand’s “CircuLumen.” It’s a technology that combines anti-glare/anti-reflective coatings and circular polarizers to provide a pleasant, outdoor-readable display.

    The 13.1-inch sunlight-viewable touchscreen with Panasonic CircuLumin™ Technology provides exceptional outdoor readability, with brightness up to 1200 nits and anti-reflective and anti-glare coatings. You can also reduce the screen brightness to two nits, perfect for when you’re keeping a low profile.

    Frequently Asked Questions Dropdown Arrow

    What operating system does the CF-31 run?
    The Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 originally shipped with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, along with Panasonic utilities and enterprise-ready driver packages. While Windows 11 officially requires a newer processor than what the CF-31 offers, our expert technicians have developed a reliable solution to bypass those requirements. As a result, any refurbished CF-31 Toughbook purchased from us comes with Windows 11 fully installed.
