It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new, full-sized slate format Tablet PC, but Motion Computing seldom disappoint. The new Motion J3400 Rugged Tablet PC is, as the name suggests, a rough & tumble capable slate with a 12.1-inch WXGA active touchscreen – with optional View Anywhere outdoor usability – plus 1.2GHz or 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV processors, 2GB of RAM and an optional 64GB SSD. There’s also optional Qualcomm Gobi dual-mode WWAN connectivity, standard WiFi a/b/g/n, gigabit ethernet, optional Bluetooth 2.1 and an optional 2-megapixel autofocus camera with LED light. Motion have given the J3400 dual battery bays, hot-swappable, which together promise all-day usability of up to 7.4hrs. Of course, since it’s advertised as rugged you’d expect some stats to back that up, and Motion don’t disappoint. The J3400 is compliant to MIL-STD-810F, meaning it’s good for a 3-foot drop together with being water, dust and splash resistant. Storage is shock-mounted, as is the display which also has a chemically-strengthened glass layer. The marvelously textured bottom (check out the gallery, you’ll see what I mean) is rubber-coated for shock dampening, and inside there’s a magnesium-alloy frame.
