The Panasonic Toughbook CF-W5 is a tough contender and in that we mean that it is very tough indeed, yes it can take a beating; the Panasonic CF-W5 has an Intel ULV Core Solo U1400 processor with 1.2 GHz RAM installed.
Review By Itreviews
Powering the CF-W5 is an Intel Core Solo U1400, an ultra-low voltage CPU running at 1.2GHz, which uses just 5.5W of power when running at full throttle. All of which means that although the CF-W5 won’t move the earth with its performance, its battery life is stunning - of which more later.

At 2.9 pounds, the CF-W5 weighs about the same as a Sony VAIO VGN-TXN15P, and its screen, at 12.1 inches, is about an inch bigger than the Sony’s. Despite its light weight, the W5 is tough. Its body is made of one of the strongest metals out there—magnesium alloy. It’s very similar to the material housing the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 (Vista), except that the W5 has a bigger bulge on the lid to protect the screen from a serious drop.

Review By Trustedreviews
Opening up the lid reveals a 12.1in screen with a resolution of 1,024 x 768. The resolution is a bit of a give away to the fact that the screen utilises a 4:3 aspect ratio, rather than the more common widescreen formats. This is a bit of a shame, since most ultra-portable notebooks these days will sport resolutions of 1,280 x 768 or 1,280 x 800, with the truly tiny Sony TX series machines sqeezing in 1,366 x 768 pixels. The result is that the CF-W5 not only lacks some desktop real estate compared to the competition, but it’s also physically larger as a result of the traditional aspect ratio. To be fair, ToughBooks aren’t what you’d refer to as consumer notebooks, and a number of manufacturers have told me that corporate users often prefer a 4:3 display rather than a widescreen one.

Review By Laptopmag
This CF-W5’s 1.2-GHz Intel Core Solo U1400 processor mustered a relatively low score of 169 on our MobileMark 2005 test, just one point better than the W4 equipped with a Pentium M CPU with the same clock speed. But the strength of the CF-W5 is its endurance. On our battery tests, the W5 lasted a remarkable 8 hours and 28 minutes with Wi-Fi off, besting its predecessor by two full hours. With the power-hungry EV-DO connection turned on, we were able to surf the Web periodically while doing other work for over three hours, and the battery meter said we still had nearly two hours of juice left.
