Reviews for the Motion J3500

80% Motion Computing J3500 tablet PC review

Motion Computing's latest tablet PC offers a specification to match most commercial laptops, but puts it into a rugged slate format for use in challenging environments. The ability to use gesture inputs as well as a stylus in Windows 7 makes it more usable than earlier Motion tablets.

A versatile and reasonably priced rugged tablet PC, but the battery life is a little disappointing.

Undoubtedly well-designed, with a quality touchscreen and many neat features, but battery life could be better.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

540UM:

The Core i5-540UM is a power efficient ultra low voltage processor for laptops. Using Turbo Boost it can be clocked with up to 2 GHz. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 166-500 MHz) and a DDR3-800 memory controller are also included in the package.

12.10":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

71.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
