Running atop an Intel Core i5 processor, the Toughpad FZ-Y1 features the Windows 8.1 Pro operating system out of the box. The CPU is coupled with an Intel HD Graphics 5500 GPU. The tablet's 20 inch display features a 4K Ultra High resolution aka 3840 X 2560 pixels, a 15:10 aspect ratio and 230 ppi pixel density, making it one of the most amazing displays in its segment. The IPS capacitive touch screen features 10 finger recognition technology.

Coming to the tablet's memory & storage - the FZ-Y1 tablet sports 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD that should take care of all of user's processing and storing needs. On the tablet's body, one can find a USB 3.0 port, a 3.5 mm earphone jack, a SDXC card slot and a docking connector. There also are ports for Built-in LAN, HDMI 2.0 inputs and a Mini DisplayPort.

Weighing about 2.41 kg (which is considerably light, given the size), the tablet is just 12.5 mm thick. Made out of lightweight glass fibre chassis, the Panasonic Toughpad FZ-Y1 passes all the standards required to call it a rugged, tough tablet best suited for industrial use. These standards include a scratch resistant glass and the fact that the tablet can withstand a drop from about 0.2 feet height (~76 cm). It also can be operated under extreme temperatures - such as (very cold) -29 degree celsius or (very hot) 60 degree celsius.

    Technically, it's a solid product. I however doubt Panasonic will really find customers for this device. 'Toughness' won't be a crowd puller in India I guess.
