yeh i want to use something at a construction site. what do you suggest? there is tablet pcs from www.motioncomputing.com which I found and they happen to be rugged and strong. seens videos of drop test and tests for water. and are dust proffed and scratched proof. best thing is they have a distributor in UAE. but let me know what you can offer.

ok.....

i can get you PANASONIC TOUGHBOOK....check it out and let me know what specs are you looking for.

i was only able to find Toughbook Wireless Display which is the one which best suits the construction field.

the other toughbooks are basically laptops where the screens can be twisted.

i like the Toughbook Wireless Display but I need to know does it have a built in camera for taking photos out on the job?

2ndly what about bar code reader?

i need something light and handy. the toughbook wireless display fits my requirement together with slate pcs from www.motioncomputing.com

I want to know will you be able to provide after sales support or will you have to send it back to your supplier for after sales support?

I dont like the U1 it has buttons i prefer something with touch screen.

by the way how much will the Toughbook Wireless Display cost me?

tablet pcs from www.motioncomputing.com are coming for roughly 2000 to 2500 dollars with 3 years warranty.

hi,

for what i understand your best bet would be the MOTION F5...they run anywhere from 2400-3300 depending on the specs. + 3 year warranty

other best options are xplore iX104c4/ix104c3 and the U1.
following U1 models come without the qwerty keyboard.

CF-U1ANBXZJJ & CF-U1ANBXZAJ

let me know if any more questions will be glad to answer

yeh i think motion computings F5 best suits my requirements. the xplore looks like it is more expensive then the F5 at 3,800 but might be cheaper not sure though. also am not sure if it has a camera. is looks to be more heavier then the motion computings tablet pc also the battery is for 4.5 hours whereas the other one lasts up to 6 to 7 hours.

which one do you think is the best?

did u check the other U1 models. the ones with no keyboard

i would prefer the motion f5 it ranges from 2400-3100.

what kind of applications are you planning to run on it?

i would suggest hp tx2500z ....... just the taste of brand you know

I'm now using Fujitsu Lifebook U2010 which got a tablet pc design. Fujitsu built very good UMPC, I highly recommend it!

I have the Fujitsu too.. but mine is the u810 and u820.

The world's smallest full laptop + tablet PC, only 5.6"

I replaced the vista OS with XP Pro and it flies.

With the U810, the only problem is the battery gets heated up.

The U820 is better in that sense plus its got built in 3.5G.

Here's a picture of it compared to a Nokia N95 Cell phone.

although the HP and Fuj have their own benefits when it comes to laptops but they do not offer mobility as motion computings tablet pc. www.motioncomputing.com And HP and Fuj are not rugged as motions tablet pc. drop the HP or the FUJ from your table and you will be sending it to service ppl to replace the keyboard or to replace the screen.

drop the motions tablet nothing will happen to it.
