    As a physician who uses a tablet. This is not a good idea. Most medical applications need processing power. The Atom is not enough. I’m barely managing with a 1.6 Ghz dual core J3400 with a 64 GB SSD. You CANNOT run dictation software, imaging software with these Quasi PCs. If you want a netbook, buy a netbook. This is pointless.

    Kartik,
    I was interested in purcahsing a J3400 for field engineering work with voice dictation and imaging (CAD drawings, photos, video). What OS and dictation software are you using? Motion markets the J3400 for Medical and other field/rugged applications, so why do you feel that it is not very suitable for your purpose?
