Among the tech products making an appearance at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2010 in Orlando, Fla., Panasonic displayed its recently released Toughbook S9, a 12.1-inch "business rugged" laptop designed to resist 220 pounds of compression and falls of up to 30 inches.

But the company also seems determined to shave off a few ounces from the traditionally weightier devices: The S9 tips the scales at 3 pounds with a standard battery in place, which isn’t too shabby for a device reinforced with a magnesium alloy case and spill-resistant keyboard.

While it comes standard with Windows 7, Linux is also supported. Processor-wise, the S9 includes an Intel Core i5 and 2GB of RAM. Also note the distinctive circular touchpad, which is spill-resistant& because it would be too bad to have your laptop survive a fall off a conference table or crushing weight, only to have it doomed by a spilled can of Coke. – …
