Putting Tablet PCs to the Test

The Motion Computing tablet PC is a slate with a couple of different ways to attach a keyboard, including a snap-on screen cover that doubles as a keyboard. Placing the tablet in a dock with a keyboard and external CD/DVD drive makes it feel like a desktop computer. Weighing about 3 lbs., the slate screen also easily slides out of the dock to take it on the go. The screen is large (12.1”) and has an automatic sensor to detect ambient change, which maintains brightness in varying lighting conditions and reserves battery power. The Brookfield Zoo, near Chicago, chose Motion Computing tablets for their educational projects.
