Panasonic has today launched an updated version of its rugged 2-in-1 convertible – the Toughbook 33 (Mk2) – with faster 10th Gen Intel silicon inside, more memory configurations to go with it, richer port selection, and a touch-based fingerprint sensor. The new Panasonic rugged PC also updates the connectivity suite by offering support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and dual-SIM (physical + eSIM) support.
The key focus of the device, of course, is on the rugged IP65-rated build, which employs Magnesium alloy and comes with MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F certifications. Additionally, the machine comes equipped with dual hot-swappable batteries, which means you can replace the depleted battery pack without having to shut down the Toughbook 33 convertible. You also get dual-SIM support on the device, a 10MP infrared front camera, and an 8MP world-facing snapper too.

The CES show floor is closed for business. While we love Vegas, we also enjoy heading back home after a long week of covering tech. Jaime decided to hitch a ride back with Juan this year, and we thought it would be a great opportunity to capture our post show conversations, and turn them into this podcast you’re about to hear, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the inane ramblings of two exhausted tech editorialists.
For folks watching our normal shows live, you can comment and ask questions by using the #PNWeekly hashtag on Twitter during the broadcast. For folks watching later, you can shoot your listener emails to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air the following week!
