    Black Mark3 CF-19

    Panasonic CF-19 Toughbook Laptop
    Model Number CF-19LBSDXGM
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo U9300 1.2GHz Processor·

    Pay close attention here, as the seller's description is generic and does not seem to describe the actual unit being sold.

    Theres another post on this mystery Toughbook here:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/panasonic/636918-unusual-cf-19-a.html

    The seller had 4 of them one sold, maybe the buyer will check in on this forum so we get answers to this unusual unit.

    The logos on the bottom of the screen look professional but I can't help but wonder if this is some sort of fancy paint job???

    I believe it was Ohlip that had a factory black CF-30 that was an RCMP model. These are probably the same.

    The Manufacturer's Warranty start date is the date of first retail sale; regardless of how many years it's been since it was manufactured.

    Think of an unsold 2010 year model car still sitting on a dealer's car lot: warranty has not yet started because the cars has not yet been sold.

    Question here is: "Have these CF-19s been sold retail before?"     :confused:

    Was looking at the stealh cf-19 on ebay too, , wish I had that kinda cash. Totally unrelated to this topic however, because I am an ignorant first timer here trying to get resolution/tips from the toughbook fellas who post here for others in distress. I recently obtained a CF-19CHBAXBM running win7. I love this machine, besides the need for a memory addition and touchpad scroll function and uncalibratable touch screen. I got it around 12/20/11 and have exhausted every aveneue short of returning OS to original (winxp pro, non tablet I suspect?). Does anyone have the knowlegde to sterr me in the right direction? Thanx a ton, 73

    WinXP Pro if it has a key on the bottom.
    Or any other (XP Tablet is better) if it doesn't :)
    Touchscreen calibrates well in Win7 also, so it seems you have a bad touchscreen (hardware).

    Just got this one. If it's working (as the seller tells me) I will be happy :)

    I had similar issues with my CF-19 - the previous owner had installed W7 ult. without upgrading the bios version.
    The bios upgrade fixed it, check this thread and others. http://forum.notebookreview.com/pan...9-mk1-touch-screen-pen-needs-calibrating.html
