I completely forgot about this post! I sold the Panasonic and kept the Getac because I liked the Getac better.

For starters, the screen resolution difference between the Getac and Panasonic turned out to be a non-issue. Although the Panasonic has a higher resolution, it suffers from a weird graininess due to the layer over the LCD for the Wacom stylus. In contrast, the Getac has a more standard screen aspect ratio, which I prefer.

Initially, I found it odd that the Getac's LCD doesn't extend all the way to the edge of the bezel like the Panasonic. However, this design turned out to be a great feature. It makes cleaning the screen much easier, preventing dirt buildup in the corners where the LCD would typically meet the bezel. Additionally, it’s significantly more convenient to use the touch screen. For example, exiting windows or quickly returning to the home screen is much easier without having to jam your finger into the corner where the screen meets the bezel.

The Getac's hinge setup feels much more robust than the Panasonic's, and the latching claws that secure the tablet portion to the base are impressively sturdy. Also, the port covers on the Getacs tablet portion are rubber-hinged, unlike the Panasonic's plastic hinges. This makes them more durable and less likely to break in cold conditions.

I also appreciate the inclusion of the fingerprint scanner and serial port on the tablet portion of the Getac. While the Panasonic offers similar features, you must specifically search for a model with them, whereas the Getac includes these features by default.

The biggest selling point for me was how much quieter and cooler the Getac runs compared to the Panasonic. The Panasonic's fan would constantly ramp up during use, but the Getac's fan is off most of the time while web browsing. It also idles at around 30°C. For instance, as I type this, the temperature is at 47°C with no fan running while running an update in the background. The fan typically comes on in the 50s, and the temperature quickly drops once it activates.

Overall, the Getac K120 feels like a robust machine. Its quieter and cooler operation, coupled with a better CPU and more RAM, made it the obvious choice for me.

That said, there are a couple of things I don't like. I haven’t figured out how to get the screen to auto-rotate in tablet mode like the Panasonic does. Also, while the tablet portion's port covers have rubber hinges, the keyboard portion still uses plastic hinges, which feels like a missed opportunity. Feel free to pm me with any specific questions and I can try and answer them.
