I have several C1's but my first C2 will be here next week,it will be interesting to see the difference. I consider the C1 to be rather flimsy and easily damaged,nice screen and decent performance however.

I've been told the C2 is much sturdier,I'll let you know.

 

I've handled a C2 and it seems sturdier to me. The display hinge-swivel also seems better designed and less likely to break.

 

Thanks, the c1 is flimsy but I've got a mk2 and it needs a bezel(fell off a stool on tocement....bad day lol) , rotate has mindof its own, 1usb port is dead and web cam is dead....but it does great for what I need...I do miss my 30 thought..kinda wish the 19 was the same screen size as the c1 though...then that would be great

 

I have a beater mk1 if you are interested,just replaced the bottom case that was broken. Works but no keyboard. Cheap. Got no use for it other then a toy. Did i mention cheap?

Pm me.

 

Well I am typing on a C1 right now...it's got nice specs but the C2 I use for DJing is a beast! It is also much more durable...now of course with no fan as opposed to the C1 it does get a tad warm if you run 16 gigs of ram (not supported by panasonic but it runs great!) That combined with the Haswell processor (MK2) and two usb 3.0 ports to run external 2TB HDD's along with hdmi makes an awesome rig for running music videos all night long! It's gotta be one of my all time favorite Toughbook! Of course I like my 31,F9,FZ-G1,FZ-A1,Touchscreen 52 and my 74 too...

 

We've got two c1's both mk2's the wife's is basically stock mines got 8gb ram and a ssd... Great for what I do at work but being in the shop some times makes me wonder but had held up and the tablet feature works great for filing out the diag bs for warranty...

I guess it works be nice to figure out my little glitches lol and get it to 100%
