Panasonic Toughbook FZ-55 MK2 rugged laptop review: Iris Xe makes all the difference

[Redaktion]

The 2021 Toughbook FZ-55 MK2 is an excellent example of how far Intel has come since its Whiskey Lake-U days on the original 2019 Toughbook FZ-55 MK1. If you want to maximize performance without necessarily drawing more power, then the FZ-55 Mark 2 is a no-brainer.

That was last gen. Doesn't seem to be offered this gen.

Wow, what incredible detail, Allen! And there I thought my review of the latest 55 covered just about everything. As far as 11th gen in rugged machines goes, two issues stood out for me: one is Intel's changed DTT policy that makes on-battery performance comparisons much less predictable, the other the somewhat opaque dual-channel mandate for Iris xE.
