Toughbook Model/Mark Breakdown UPDATED

Latest revision of the Model/Mark Breakdown.

Roughly every year each Toughbook model is either revved to the latest Intel Chipset, GPU, WWAN card, WLAN card, etc.  In most cases, these changes do NOT change the first 5 characters of the model number.  The forst 5, CF-19, CF-31, CF-53, normally do not change for up to 5 years.  The reason behind it is Docking Stations!,  people heavily invest on Docking Stations when installing them in vehicles and we also do when it comes to testing and working with Partners to properly protect the Toughbook and User when in use.  The docking stations are normally tied to the 1st 5 characters of the model, and rely on the chassis staying the same for as long as possible.  We lead the industry in this regard averaging roughly 5 revisions/marks before changing our chassis.

This is a great resource to quickly determine what “Mark” level a Toughbook model is.
