Motion Computing was a developer of slate Tablet PC computers located in Austin, Texas. Motion Computing focused on vertical markets such as healthcare^[1]government,^[2] public safety,^[3][4] and construction.^[5][6] It was the first company to introduce Gorilla Glass, Bonded displays, built-in array microphones, and UV light-based disinfection stations for clinical environments.^[7]

History[edit]

Motion Computing was founded in 2001 by a team of former Dell executives including David Altounian and Scott Eckert, who served as CEO of Motion.^{[8][9][10][11]} In 2002, it launched its first product, the Motion M1200, a tablet designed as a successor of pen slates from the 1990s.^[12] The M1200 was the first slate tablet available in a 12-inch size.^[13][14] That same year, Motion raised $6.5 million in funding. Its second funding round in 2003 raised $11.2 million, and the 2004 Series C round raised $25 million.^[15][16] In 2003, Motion launched the M1300, which was the first 1 GHz tablet using IntelCentrino mobile technology.^[17][18][19] The M1400, released in 2004, was the first 12-inch slate tablet to have a View Anywhere display.^[20][21]

The special-edition Envy comes with Leap Motion's app store, Airspace, which is filled with a variety of apps crafted for use with the sensor. Beyond the Leap Motion technology, the 6.1-pound. For those looking for a solid graphic design laptop that won't break the bank, but also don't want to limit themselves to budget options, the MacBook Air is a solid, mid-grade choice. This laptop retails for under $1,000, making it a less expensive option than its big brother, the MacBook Pro, but the price-point doesn't skimp out on features.

Through its independent software vendor partnership program, Motion paired with companies including Active Ink and Mi-Co to advance the development of tablet PC applications.^[22] In 2007, Motion released the first mobile clinical assistant (MCA), the C5, at UCSF Medical Center.^[23][24]

Through a Series D funding round in 2008, the company closed $6 million.^[25] In 2009, Motion secured $5.6 million in a round of financing from eight investors.^[15] That same year, Motion announced that its C5 and F5 tablets would be the first rugged tablet PCs to use Corning'sGorilla Glass.^[26][27]

In February 2011, Motion introduced ReadyDock, the first chemical-free disinfection stations using ultraviolet technology, for the C5 tablet.^[28] In 2011, Motion Computing announced the Intel Atom 'Oak Trail'-powered CL900 running Windows 7, a fully rugged 10' screen ultra-light Tablet PC, weighing 2.1 pounds.^[29] The company then announced the CL910 tablet in July 2012 and the CL920 in October 2014.^[30][31] Motion also released the LINCWorks RDA (Remote Data Access) series.^[32]
