Panasonic Toughbook FZ-40

The Panasonic Toughbook FZ-40 is an impressively rugged laptop that has left me in awe. Weighing just 7.7 pounds, this fully-rugged device boasts a handle, upgraded 14-inch screen with 1920x1080 resolution, and a built-in 5-megapixel webcam.

Acer Spin 7

The Acer Spin 7 is a 14-inch Core i5-based 2-in-1 device that boasts a fairly thin and light design. Scoring 82% in our full review, it has its strengths and weaknesses. The display is calibrated to perfection once tweaked, but initially struggles with color accuracy. The keyboard offers decent feedback, albeit with shallow travel. Battery life is reasonable at around 6 hours of Wi-Fi browsing time, although gaming and video rendering may see a drastic drop-off.
