Motion Computing J3500 and F5v get an upgrade

Nov

Motion Computing – makers the world’s most powerful slate Tablet computers – recently gave their F5v and J3500 tablets an upgrade. We consider the F5v and J3500 to be the computing equivalent to the Aussie ute. In fact, they are used in many of the same places.

The Intel Core i7 versions of the J3500 and F5v went from the i7-640UM 1.2Ghz processor up to the i7-680UM processor at 1.46Ghz. The core i5 version also got a bump.

Whilst the low power Intel Core i7 processor in the F5v and J3500 is still the last generation “Arrandale” chip, it is still between four to ten times more powerful than the Intel Atom based processors found in many rugged Tablet PCs depending on the test performed.

Of course you can’t beat an Intel Atom based tablet for battery life, but there are several reasons that sales of F5v and J3500 with Intel Core i7 have increased at pace with the introduction of the Motion Computing CL900:

4-10 Times more powerful than Intel Atom
Up to 8Gb of RAM
Desktop replacement power

Whilst the CL900 is fantastic for basic computing tasks like field data collection into web forms, PDF files or Microsoft Excel, it cannot match the performance of the F5v or J3500 for people who need a go-anywhere mobile office.

Judging by the number F5v and J3500s going out with 8Gb RAM on board, a surprising number of people do need brute computing power in the field.

The Motion J3500 also gets a bump up to the faster Gobi 3000 mobile broadband chip with GPS.

Motion J3500 – More details

Jun

2010

Last week Motion released the J3500, an excellent revamp of the Motion J3400. We now have a Motion J3500 product page on our website with some more details for you.

We have been using a combination touch and digitizer on our Fujitsu Tablet PCs for a while now, and the announcement or the Wacom multi-touch capacitive touch screen on the J3500 fills a hole in previous models.

Some of the applications that you might find for a combination touch and digitizer tablet are:

Point of sale (POS)
Music recording
Simple field data collection
Navigation.

Touch adds a level of speed and simplicity for simple tasks like navigating and repetitive data entry (such as Point of Sale).

On the other hand, the active digitizer pen is essential for note taking, fast handwriting recognition and accurate input – tasks such as writing, emailing, drawing, sketching and plan measurement.

In the last 2 years Motion Computing has really run ahead in the Tablet PC field by focusing on the core market for Tablets – field workers. This includes industries like mining, construction, engineering, field sales, healthcare, surveying and inspections.

Local, federal and state government departments are have heavily adopted both of the Motion Computing products for field work. In many cases the are replacing old style bulky and heavy ruggedized solutions with the new sleek Motion products.

Both the Motion J3500 and the Motion F5v are exceptional products for anyone who works on the road, in the car or on site. They generally stand out in the market for a few reasons:

Desktop replacement power – Intel® Core™ i7 and i5 with vPro™
A super tough package – Both the J3500 and F5v conform to the US Military MIL810G standard and are IP rated. Both sport Corning Gorilla Glass which is five times stronger than any other Tablet PC screen.
Best outdoor display available – The Motion Hydis AFFS+ display uses smart technology, not just screen brightness to achieve perfect outdoor viewing and perfect 180 degree viewing angles.
3 year Australian warranty – When things go wrong, everything on these machines can be fixed or replaced locally
Tough but not heavy - Both weigh around 1.6kg (with one battery on board)

As an independent Tablet PC reseller (and we have dozens of Tablet PCs at our disposal) we find the Motion Tablet PCs very hard to beat in many applications.
