Tablet Technology Takes Another Turn -LE1700
MotionComputing's latest offering sports a Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of RAM and a vivid 12.1" SXGA+ touchscreen. If you like interacting with a stylus rather than a keyboard the LE1700 is worthy of closer inspection.
I don'tknow about you, but I've always dug tablets. My friend who was ahealth inspector for the city used to brandish the one he had forwork, and I'd turn green with envy. Then he had a gun pulled onhim in a South Philly deli and decided to move on to a cushierjob (albeit one without a tablet), and he only then admitted thattablet technology just wasn't all that it was cracked up tobe.
But nowcomes the Motion Computing's LE1700WT Tablet PC. It ispractically as powerful as your average laptop, but it comes withthe all-that-it's-cracked-up-to-be portability and touchabilityof today's generation of tablets. The LE1700WT features a crisp12.1 inch SXGA+ screen boasting WriteTouch technology, whichgives users the flexibility to use a stylus, their finger, orboth to navigate the Web, their warehouse's inventory, a healthinspection form, what have you.
The laptop power I was talking about comes thanks to the WindowsVista OS, powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5GHz L7400 processorand as much as 4GB of RAM. That is the supped-up version. You canalso get 512MB of RAM with an Intel Core Solo Mobile Technology1.2GHz processor and Windows XP Tablet OS.
Any IT department will feel a bit more secure with the dataprotection that the LE1700WT affords from unwanted access-througha fingerprint reader and an embedded trusted platform module-andfrom unwanted accidents-through Motion DataGuard that saves datafor drops and spills of the tablet.
And what would a tablet be without wireless? Whatever config youget, you get an integrated Atheros Super AG for 802.11ABGconnectivity, a built-in WWAN antenna, and integrated BlueTooth.An embedded mobile broadband is optional.
My favorite part of the Motion tablets are their accessories,which you can use to dress up your tablet like a 21st century Mr.Potato Head. Try the bump case and convertible keyboard. Snazzyup your potato tablet with a FlexDock for a mock flat-screendesktop look, or go nerdy with a pocket protector-lookingprotective case.
Whatever you do with your new Motion Computing LE1700WT, makesure to steer clear of shady, dirty delis in South Philly. Moreinformation and pricing available atMotionComputing.com.
