Has anybody worked with the LE1600 Moton Tablets? I am in the market
to purchase one. How do they compare to the others out there. How
reliable are they.

Thanks in Advance,
Dee

I have one. I don't know if that particular model is current on the latest
processor technology, but at the time I got it which was over a year ago, it
was the sports car of Tablet PC's. It's incredibly sleek, the VA display is
unmatched, and it's a really nice portable machine.

But... it's a slate. So if you've never used a Tablet PC before, I'll tell
you what I tell everyone - Don't start with a slate. If you wind up not
liking the lack of a keyboard, it could give you a bad impression of tablets
in general. The "convertible" keyboard on the Motion is really bad and
fragile.

But if you've used tablets before and you want a light tablet that's got a
great digitizer, display, battery life, and integrated
Bluetooth/Wifi/Fingerprint - then it's the way to go.

I've heard that Motion is about to release a Dual Core slate, but no date
given.

What is a slate? I'm guessing locked into not using a keyboard. So,
there's a learning curve??

DQ shared these words of wisdom:

> What is a slate? I'm guessing locked into not using a keyboard.

"Slate" is the name for the TablePCs without a keyboard, just the
plain tablet.

"Concertibles" have a keyboard and can be used as normal notebooks
(notebook made) and turning around the display and clapping onto the
keyboard and locking it is the "slate mode".

There also were "hybrid" models like the COMPAQ tc1000 /HP tc1100
which had a detachable keyboard.

What one buys depends on what one wants to do.
In many enviroments the thinner lightweight slate is the optimum
(doctors in hospitals, f.e., people taking notes in meetings or
working with presentations over a projector).
Those who want to write a lot will be better off having the
possibility to use the keyboard for typing.

On just has to carfully think on the needs.

Also remember that bluetooth and bluetooth keyboards are optional items you
can purchase for a slate computer, in case you find that you do occasionally
need massive text input. In this way almost all slate machines are hybrids,
if the need so arises. Bluetooth keyboards by Think outside and others
literally can literally fold up and fit in your pocket when needed, leaving
you with a smaller slate to carry as compared to a convertible.

It comes down to a matter of taste and projected use. For personal use I
really like a slate computer.
