Title: Panasonic Toughbook FZ-55 MK2 rugged laptop review: Iris Xe makes all the difference
Post by: Redaktion on September 03, 2021, 20:11:29
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.

No need to read ... the author is on Intel's payroll.

Quoteremovable Radeon xPAK graphics card

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.
