“Motion Computing” launched its new ‘Tablet PC’, the ‘F5’, exclusively for the people who need computers while performing field services and other out jobs. People from field services, construction site jobs, governments, and in manufacturing related duties need specifically designed computers which should be tough in handling and should be free from rain and dust.
The F5, the rugged tablet PC from ‘Motion Computing’ comes with a three year warranty and covers short drops from 30 inches along with all other features that are important for field workers.
This ‘Tablet PC’ is powered by Intel processors, the Core Solo 1.2 GHz U1400 processor. It also includes an exclusive Intel wireless 3945 Wi-Fi network connection. The computer has a standard 1 GB RAM and 40GB hard disk drive. The F5 users will also have an option for 32 GB solid state drive instead.

Intel is progressing ahead on its plans to revamp the mainstream products segment with new “Ultramobile Computers”. Intel’s “Atom Processors”, the new brand of micro-chips with low power consumption will soon be facilitating the manufacturing of ultramobile computers. The company is preparing to launch a number of new versions of the new ‘Atom Processors’ and these will be released during the first half of this year, said Danny Cheung, spokesperson from Intel in a statement.
Atom processors are actually a part of Intel’s ’45-nanometer processes and would be having a clock speed of up to 1.8 GHz. The company will also be introducing some slower versions of this processors series, details about the speed of which are not revealed by the company along with the price ranges.
Size of the new Atom processor chips would be less than 25 square millimeters even. These chips will be based on ‘Thermal Design Power (TDP) factor’ in a range of 0.6 to 2.5 watts. It is not the maximum power consumption for these chips but it is actually the maximum sustained power of the new chips, according to Intel.
Price factor is expected to be on lower side as the smaller size of the chips will facilitate the company to maintain its high margins with bulk production .Almost 2,500 new Atom processors can be produced on a single 300-millimeter silicon wafer.
