Review of Atom-Powered Toughbook Medical Tablet

Posted by timothy on Thursday January 29, 2009 @08:51AM from the on-my-shopping-list-for-the-apocalypse dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Intel has spent years talking up the digital health sector, and now Panasonic has come up with a product to make that category worthwhile. The Toughbook CF-H1 is a fully rugged mobile computer designed for the medical profession. Of course it can be dropped and doused in water, but it's got some other cool tricks too like a built in RFID scanner, wireless smartcard reader and a barcode scanner. It's also using the 1.86GHz Atom, which is rarely seen." I'd like this: a small, low-power tablet suitable for klutzes.

Plus you could spill fetal blood on it with no problem when you're out in the backyard grilling the placenta.
