What Does The Inside of Motion Computing’s J3400 Rugged Tablet PC Look Like?

Published

image We’ve talked a lot about how rugged and light the Motion Computing J3400 is. Instead of throwing a bunch of meaningless numbers at you, we thought we’d show you some pictures of what the inside of a J3400 looks like, which speak to the special engineering that went in to the J3400.

Be sure to watch part 1 and part 2 of our InkShow video series on the J3400 to get a hands-on feel of the rugged slate, as well as the new convertible keyboard, and be sure to checkout Motion’s official press release.

    Nice shots Rob- it does look nice and sturdy. I hope you remember how to put it back together.

    I don’t think Rob took the pictures–he said they were courtesy of Motion Computing. But if I’m mistaken, I hope the same, too. Very nice too see the innards of an excellent machine, thanks!

    I didn’t take those pictures – Motion supplied them to me.

    Looks like a nice piece of hardware. I wonder if any of the Hackintosh distributions would enable you to run OS X. An all weather dual boot tablet would be sweet.

    Any word on pressure levels for the tablet?

    @tom – 256 levels of pressure sensitivity

    Thanks Rob

    If only they’d bump it to 512, I know a lot of storyboard artists that would like to use these for work in Los Angeles but the 256 levels are just to little for drawing feel.

    A lot of animation studios have been buying cintiqs, I use a 12WX myself.
