    CF-30
    F - Core 2 1.6ghz
    Q - TS 1000 nit/dual pass through antenna
    S - 80GB/1GB
    A - No integrated
    C - HSDPA
    A - Vista downgraded to XP Pro
    M - North America

    $2000... this unit has a BIOS password, but other than that it looks like a steal... especially someone who is looking for a HSDPA model with dual pass-through

    CF-52
    C - Core 2 1.8Ghz
    C - 15.4" Widescreen
    A - 80GB/1GB
    B - DVD Multidrive
    X - Wireless Ready
    B - XP Pro SP2
    M - US

    $1250 - steal deal!

    Just FYI for anyone in the market! :)

    Thanks for sharing the info

    That was a good deal then

    Do you use a toughbook yourself ?

    The reason is that I ask is some of us here could not part with Panasonics best, once we had bought it :) :)
