First introduced in 2013, the Toughpad 4K is the world’s first 20-inch tablet with a 4K resolution display. It features a brilliant and immersive 230 pixel-per-inch IPS Alpha LCD display with a 15:10 aspect ratio and wide viewing angles that goes beyond Ultra HD resolution, for professionals in fields where visual clarity and collaboration are essential.

Combined with accessories such as the optional Panasonic desktop cradle and carrying case solution, the device can be used as both a desktop PC and tablet.
