Motion Computing F5: Rough and tough tablet PC with RFID reader

Filed in archive Tags and Readers on May 7, 2008

Interested in a tablet PC with an RFID reader? Aimed at field workers and delivery drivers this mean machine from Motion Computing comprises of a 10.4 inch touch screen display with 1024 x 768 resolution coupled with SSD and Core Solo CPU. It includes other features such as 802.11a/b/g networking, two mega pixel camera, 1D/2D barcode scanner, twin microphones, Bluetooth and RFID reader.

It has been created to survive inhuman conditions as it includes a magnesium alloy internal frame coupled with chemical resistant resin in elastometer so you need not worry about the health of the tablet from dust or moisture. It even comes along with a large carrying handle to prevent it from slipping out of your hands and god forbid if it does the accelerometer will shut the 1.8-inch hard disk drive in case it senses any impact. Coming on to the RFID part it has a standard 13.56MHz RFID reader coupled with integrated passive RFID tag and will certainly make life of people employed on the field pretty easy.

I think I just forgot to tell the brand name and model of the tablet PC (sincere apologies for that) - it is F5 from Motion Computing and is priced between $2,700 and $4,000. Though on the higher side but its rough and tough characteristics and RFID compatibility surely makes it a good deal!!
