The LE1700 can be ordered with the standard indoor display or optionally with the sunlight readable outdoor display with View Anywhere technology. The View Anywhere display uses a proprietary optical enhancement process based on technology initially developed for high-end military aviation and marine applications. The View Anywhere display adjusts quickly from an office or home work environment and accommodates a variety of outdoor work scenarios. This innovative solution was designed for mobile users that use Tablet PCs in bright light environments.Compared with Motion Computing’s standard display, the View Anywhere display technology enhances indoor viewing - while substantially improving outdoor viewing. The View Anywhere display technology also retains the traditional feel of pen on paper that has become a hallmark of Motion’s ink-enabled Tablet PCs, and the solution is also stronger, more durable, and scratch resistant.
With a built-in fingerprint scanner and TCP Trusted Platform Module (TPM) the LE1700 provides highest standard regarding save data access and data security. Brand new is the Motion DataGuard System which ensures that no data gets lost. Motion DataGuard protects the hard drive when a shock sensor inside the LE1700 Tablet PC detects a situation that could potentially damage the hard drive, such as a drop or harsh vibration. The protection system stops the hard drive by moving the read/write heads of the hard drive to areas that do not contain data, and may also stop spinning the disks of the hard drive. The hard drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not in operation. The protection system turns the hard drive on again once the shock sensor detects a stable environment. Motion DataGuard is enabled through the control panel, and is programmable for three levels of sensitivity to meet the usage needs.
The LE1600TS has an ultra-slim housing which measures 11.65” x 9.64” x 0.74” and consists of carbon-fibre on the front and light metal alloy at the back. The design and finish of the housing gives the LE1700 an unrivalled look of exclusivity. The coating of the housing is extremely hard and thus the Slate-Tablet-PC keeps its look of luxury all over its lifetime. The temperature range is +5°C - +35°C in operation and humidity is 8% - 80% non-condensing.
