- The CF-54 Panasonic Toughbook was a major success in the Semi-Rugged Toughbook line and can be found everywhere from mounted in police vehicles to in a business person's carry on. Panasonic took everything that was a success with the CF-54 and used customer feedback to improve upon the design with the successor FZ-55. Replacing the CF-54 the FZ-55 shares many similar traits as its predecessor, while boasting some key upgrades. In this video, The Rugged Store walks you through some of those changes! Moving to 8th generation Intel processors, the FZ-55 by defaults doubles the CF-54 storage and RAM size (512GB SSD and 8GB RAM respectively.) Panasonic rearranged the keyboard layout so the the FZ-55 has more often used keys enlarged and easier to strike. With dual integrated speakers, the FZ-55 has significantly louder audio out and boasts tetra array (4) audio in microphones and an infrared low-light webcam; this will enable the FZ-55 Toughbook user to have a much better audio visual interaction with their computer. Having the same 3 foot drop rating as the CF-54 Toughbook, the FZ-55 increases to IP53 (Ingress Protection) over the previous IP51; meaning that the FZ-55 will have more durability when it comes to liquid ingress. One of the biggest improvements over the CF-54, the FZ-55 boasts modular xPaks enabling it to be upgraded post-factory/sale by the end user. We will be covering the xPaks in detail in a future video!

Thank you. Very useful information.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the video but you didn't mention battery runtime... 10 hours to 19 on one battery pack ;-)
I own a vehicle mounted docking station for the 54, and recently purchased a new 55. Do you know if the 55 is compatible with 54 docking stations?
Sorry for getting back to you so late Andrew; yes the FZ-55 will work with most CF-54 docks and cradles. Highly encourage you to check with the docking manufacturer to confirm though!
Have you seen issues with the FZ-55 such as excessive fan noise and floating touchpad cursor with touchscreen active. Have to disable touchscreen, We have some devices experiencing these issues with no real solutions from Panasonic
We haven't come across that issue as of yet. The FZ-55 is relatively new and all your units should still be under manufacturer warranty if you wanted to send into Panasonic for repair (3 year from purchase.) Contact us directly and we can help walk you through that process!
