PANASONIC CF-33
Ryan Jones, Staff Writer
I know what you’re thinking – this 2-in-1 notebook is hideous. But unlike your friend’s odd-looking baby, it doesn’t require you to pretend otherwise. The CF-33 was never designed for coffee-shop flaunting: it’s built to be tough, with a robust design and IP65 resistance to water and dust. It’s no slouch either, with an impressively speedy 7th-gen Intel Core i5 processor. OK, I probably wouldn’t get much use out of this Panasonic powerhouse in the suburbs of London; but if you fancy doing spreadsheets halfway up a mountain, this could well be your champion portable companion. £3386 / panasonic.co.uk
