Panasonic is shaking things up in the world of laptops-this will bring us back a classic quirk. They recently updated their Let's Note series and, yes, the unique round touchpad is back with the new SC model. It is not just a novelty though, this laptop is all ready with features for busy professionals.
You might ask what's the big deal beyond its unique navigation circle. The Let's Note SC is an all-around workhorse. It's equipped with a 12.4-inch display with bright 1920x1280 resolution and has a 180-degree hinge that allows laying flat. This machine is built tough, meeting the MIL-STD-810G standard for durability, so no bumping or dropping worries.
But really, the biggest highlight has to be the battery. This is a 56Wh battery, one that Panasonic claims can power your video watching for over 12 hours and an astounding 34+ hours standby time. The best part. It's user-replaceable. Just a few screws between you and a brand new battery, no need to send it off for an elaborate disassemble. That's huge for anyone who has their laptop running 24/7.
For performance, you now have options. The Let's Note SC comes either with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H or an Ultra 5 255U, depending on the configuration you choose. These are modern chips ready to take on demanding business tasks.
Oh, and Panasonic is keen on bragging some more on nifty features:
- Quite lightweight, weighing just 919 grams.
- A gigabit Ethernet port added: seldom found on most modern thin-and-lights but important for dependable wired connections.
Panasonic has tailored the Let's Note SC for business. In conjunction with durability, long (and removable) battery life and dependable connectivity, this laptop has strong credentials for a beautiful travel companion in the professional world.
You can buy one if you are in Japan for around $1880. Sales launch starting June 20th. It seems high-priced, but worth it to the right individual user who would invest in a premium purchase for a specialized business tool with these specific capabilities.
