Tablet Tableau

My laptop, after two years, has many signs of wear. The case is cracked, the screen is dingier and the power button does not work without some serious brute force applied. I’ve put it through hell and it has survived… but not well enough. I’ve wanted something tougher… and something that isn’t a giant, widescreen clamshell.

Thankfully, Motion Computing has an answer; the semi-rugged Motion LE 1700 Tablet PC. Most other “tablet” are just clamshell laptops with a monitor that will convert to tablet form. This tablet PC absconds from that tradition and is a true mobile tablet PC.  And while it does carry a hefty price tag so far as tablet PC’s are concerned, it is well-worth the coin.

The LE1700 is a touchscreen and has many attachments that make it very versatile, including rugged carrying cases, slick docking solutions and slim extended batteries. It also features a solid state drive (in lieu of the typical hard drive that has weak moving parts) and integrated wi-fi, 3G and Bluetooth.
