Windows XP Embedded powers Tablet PC thin client
Jan. 26, 2005

Motion Computing has converted its M1400 Tablet PC into a thin client device, substituting Windows XP Embedded for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Dubbed the "M1400TC," the device is useful for equipping mobile workers with tablet-style computing resources, while keeping sensitive information on secure network servers, the company says.

Like the company's standard M1400 Tablet PC, the M1400TC is offered with a choice of a 900 MHz Celeron M, or a 1.1 GHz Pentium M, processor. Instead of the standard model's hard drive, the M1400TC provides a 512 MB flash storage device which only contains the Windows XP Embedded OS and a limited number of essential applications. The device comes with Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Citrix ICA Client, and Microsoft Internet Explorer with the Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment.

The unit includes a 12.1-inch wide-viewing-angle XGA TFT LCD, and is packed with interfaces and expansion ports, including: built-in 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth wireless, a 10/100 Ethernet port, a Firewire (IEEE 1394) port, USB, a V.92 soft modem, and a PC Card slot for additional expansion.

According to Motion Computing, the M1400TC thin client tablet was the result of "close collaboration" with its healthcare, retail, and manufacturing customers. Users wanted to walk and compute with a lightweight slate tablet with pen input, but required the high data security, networked data access, centrally managed administration, and high system reliability associated with thin client computing, the company says.

Motion lists the following key hardware features and specifications, which apply to both the M1400 Tablet PC and M1400TC thin client:
  • Processor -- Celeron M at 900 MHz or Pentium M at 1.1 GHz
  • Memory -- 256 or 512 MB of DDR RAM
