In the world of computing, only the Panasonic S-series offers you an all-day, on-the-go, AC adapter-free, desktop power, solution in ruggedized chassis--all from 2.49 lbs.

For years the W-series was Panasonic’s flagship, a sub 3-pound computer with incredible durability and portability. The new Panasonic S-series is poised to become Panasonic's crown jewel of portable productivity.

In addition to offering all the the W-series had, the S adds desktop PC-caliber power.

In its small package, big power comes from an Intel Core i7-640M vPro 2.80GHz CPU (blazingly fast for a sub-3 pound computer). With up to 8GB RAM, a 12.1" widescreen display, and improved Intel QM57 Express Chipset, the S9 supports intense graphics, along with easier things like streaming videos, spreadsheets, and even the most ADD-driven multitasking.

(A slightly technical paragraph for interested parties: based on Intel’s Nehalem microarchitcture, the new high-end dual-core CPU boasts several advantages over the previous Core 2 Duo series of processors. Capable of HyperThreading, the 2-core processor can handle four threads simultaneously, leading to more efficient multitasking and a smoother experience, while avoiding the higher power requirements of four discrete cores. Additional performance and power management is provided by Intel’s TurboBoost and Enhanced Speedstep technologies – dynamically scaling the clock speed (and thus power usage) up and back (from 2.80 GHz to 3.46 GHz) as needed helps give you the performance you need, when you need it, while conserving battery life when your system is idling – an ideal compromise for the mobile professional. Additionally, the integrated Intel GMA HD provides great video performance without the extra power drain of a discrete graphics card.)

In addition to its incredible performance, the S9 has a surreal 15.5-hour battery life (10 hours under typical usage).

Additional features include the custom-designed DVD superdrive, PC Card Slot, HDMI Out with full HD support for an external monitor, 3 USB ports--with one wisely separated so you can keep that oversized USB broadband data card on one side without interrupting the other ports.

The S-series comes with the same exceptional durability that people have come to know from Panasonic: up to 100kg (220lbs) pressure resistant casing, a 76cm (30 inches) drop rating, and a drip-proof keyboard ensure that any road warrior can rest easy knowing their laptop will shrug off little abuse. [Please note that although the laptop is designed to survive these conditions, survival of any physical damage is not guaranteed and is not covered by warranty.]

And, when purchased from Dynamism, the Panasonic S-series includes unlimited toll-free tech phone and email support, and up to 3 years Dynamism Rescue Warranty.
