The Panasonic TOUGHBOOK FZ-G2 2 in 1 rugged tablet has a unique series of accessory upgrades Panasonic calls the “xPAK”. This allows the user to upgrade their computer with new capabilities as their needs evolve. These upgrades are broken into two specific categories: Top Expansion Area and Rear Expansion Area. The xPAK upgrades available in each expansion area are mutually exclusive within that expansion area. You can have up to 1 xPAK installed in each expansion area but you could not install two xPAKs into the left expansion area. One great benefit of the xPAK system is the ability to easily replace a port without having to send the computer in to the manufacturer or replace the laptop. It is fairly common for commercial users to have to insert a USB diagnostic tool or thumb drive several times a day. Consumer grade laptops are not made to have this volume of use for the ports. Rugged computers are and with these xPAK systems you can swap out ports in the field or replace them with ease saving you down time.
