The new CF-53 is the ideal desktop replacement for
when you are on the move or in the office. As a
Toughbook, it incorporates a range of “ruggedised”
features to protect it’s components from vibrations and
drops. The display sits on impact resistant dampers and
is mounted in a durable magnesium alloy case. The
hard disc is embedded in shock-absorbing foam and is
connected to the motherboard by flexible cabling. The
splash resistant keyboard and touchpad helps to stop
water or any other liquid from entering the casing and
causing internal damage, while rubber port covers
protect the external connections.
The CF-53 has a bright 14” widescreen TFT LCD in 16:9
format with WXGA. This screen is comparable t o
desktop computer screens. With the latest Intel Core i5
Processor technology and up top 8GB RAM the CF-53 is
a capable performer. This coupled with a weight of less
than 3kg and an integrated carrying handle provide
maximum working flexibility. Two Diversity WLAN
antennas ensure optimal reception at all times, and
state of the art energy saving components with the
CF53’s durable battery enable a running time of up to
10 hours.
