Unusual CF-19.

Hello! I have opportunity to buy a brand new CF-19. It's a special order. According to the seller it will have 3 years warranty and support from Panasonic. I can't configure it on the Panasonic site. I would like to know what it is.
CF-19LBSDXGM

 

Well most of the time I go here CF-19 Tablet - ToughWiki to get the info but no go on that model . It is a MK3 for sure...Hope its a good price because you can get a MK5 for around $3000.00

 

Hi! ToughWiki site did not help. Official Panasonic site will not recognise it.
CF-19LBSDXGM. It's CF-19 MK3 with 8GB RAM. Thanks.

 

I believe you misunderstood. If the panny site won't tell you what it is, then you can go to toughwiki and manually decipher the model#/features.
CF-19LBSDXGM
mk3
Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 1.2GHz vPro (Centrino 2)
1000 nit Touch SCreen
8GB max ram
2.5 sata drive
no wifi installed

B unspecified (kb/screen details)
S unspecified (hdd size)(custom?)
D smartcard (reader?) equiped
X WIreless READY
G Unspecified (OS)
M North America

It would appear that yours is a "custom" unit, and the configurator doesn't like "custom".
So, you should ask the seller if these details are correct, and, what type of kb, if it is digitizer or touch screen, size of the hdd?

 

Just being curious, but how can it be new when it's a MK3? It's at least 2 years old?
I would be careful when buying this one, AFAIK Panasonic doesn't do single customs, so it would be a series of at least several dozen for a specific company. If it has a special/different screen/digitizer getting the right drivers might be a pain.
The 8Gb is nice!
Do you know what OS?

 

I'm sorry, I have to laugh here because I see LBS and I see me and my buddies acronym for what we describe the next day after a hard night of drinking beer.

Liquid Beer Sh!ts

LMAO! Sorry! Continue!

 

Just out of curiosity I emailed Panasonic. Here's their reply:

It's still a mystery

That page has been "empty" for as long as I can remember.

 

That's great. Someone posted link several days ago as working. Is there a chart somewhere else about the model numbers for which MK CF-19 is a
CF-19FHGAXAM ? Looking at one for sale. Regards,

what is the MK structure on 19's anyway?
F in a 29f would be no wifi....jsik.

 

Mk1 - C wifi, D no wifi, E ?

Mk2 - F wifi, G no wifi, H ?

Mk3 - K wifi, L no wifi?, M ?, Q ?

Mk4 - R, S, T, V

Mk5 - A, B, X

I'm not sure off the breakdown of the Mk4 and 5.

 

Hey, saw the 8GB max RAM. The only systems that can do that are Win XP 64 BIT and Win 7 64 BIT. Odd that is has this config if it's a MK IV CF 18, unless it had WIN XP 64 BIT. Research further before you buy......

 

It's a CF-19 Mk3.

 

Is it possible to install 8GB of RAM into CF-19K? I've found 2x4GB SODIMM DDR-2 for USD 100. 4GB (2x2) is MK3's maximum in theory, but it's chipset supports 8GB

 

The CF-19 Mk3 uses DDR2 memory; so it's limited to 4GB total:

Crucial® Memory Advisor for the Panasonic Toughbook 19 (DDR2) Laptop/Notebook

Your Toughbook 19 (DDR2) System Specs
System specs as shipped by the manufacturer.

Memory: DDR2 PC2-5300
Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 4GB
Slots: 2
Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-5300 with a maximum of 2GB per slot.*
*Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory.

How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, install a 64-bit version of your OS. More information about OS memory maximums can be found here.

Memory or DRAM is the 'working' memory of the computer. It's used to store data for programs (sequences of instructions) on a temporary basis.

Thanks, I have this info
Maybe this answer was written long time ago, when there were no 4GB DDR2 modules
Will try and inform

 

Hi,
I bought me, this is a mk3. The RAM is 4 GB.
Also it does not contain the WiFi module, but it is only prepared, and I would need this and even a GPS module. Can someone give me directions on how to put these? and what to buy?

sorry for my bad English and thanks

 

Hi Geofisica,
welcome to the forum!

this site to have the equipment and manual for a GPS, I have never done business with them, but others on this forum will know them most likely.
Installing a Wifi isn't something I've seen before here, but perhaps others can tell you what & how to install.

 

Many thanks Alecgold...
I hope to solve my problems ...

 

Someone better tell that to my 19MK2 then. DDR2 doesn't limit it, its the chipset that limits it. I believe the i945 chipset has a 4GB limit, but the i965 chipset (19MK2) has an 8GB limit.

Mine came with 4GB stock, and I pulled the accessible 2GB stick and put in a 4GB stick for 6GB total. I've got Win7 x64 on it.

The BIOS only shows 3.3GB RAM (which it did with the stock 4GB too). But once booted win7 x64 shows the full 6GB.

With the price of RAM these days, it would be rude not to put in 8GB. Its just the x64 drivers that can be a worry, I've not looked into that side of things too much, since everything I needed worked out of the box including touchscreen and gestures.

are some nice pics of one of these rare machines...Guess what I'm giving myself for....well Thursday. Thursday is a holiday isnt it?
I'm gonna put it between my black 28's and get some pics for my Christmas Cards!
Too bad I couldn't have gotten one of the Black 30's too. Maybe next time...
Hope you all have a great day,Travis

 

For the price of MK4...
Black one has very good chances to overheat under direct sun and looks like it was painted by... "Pimp my Ride" ))

 

Oh...no I'll probably never use it! I just kinda collect the rare ones...

 

My 2x4GB is finally here
Elpida 4GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666
I've already installed one of them, so now I have 2GB + 4GB and it works fine under 64-bit OS.
Will upgrade internal 2GB to second 4GB module soon, but it seems, while 4GB is not enough, 6GB is.enough.

 

It works
