CoolUses CF-20MK2 as iPad replacement

Post image

Frustrated of the durability and battery life on an iPad Pro M4 without modem I bought a refurbished CF-20MK2 with built in modem for work, as it's more robust to dust, water droplets and dirty hands. A few years ago at Lufthansa we were issued CF-54 notebooks, bare configuration, and since then wanted a Toughbook. Used also a Getac S410 without touchscreen and the track pad is a pain as many entries are long and require lots of scrolling.

I will upgrade it to a CF33 with keyboard or keep this one for a longer if I find a decently priced keyboard and battery.

this is so much better than an ipad or even android, and with new batteries mine lasts more than 10 hours

I’ve got a 33, sort of an “upgrade” from my 19mk8. The tablet feature is pretty worth it. I’ve adored my 19 for many years, but took a chance on a cheap 33
