Careful if ordering the touch screen. It is not available with the View 
Anywhere (bright) screen.  This is a must in the aircraft.
We just ordered a new one and almost made that mistake.
Also be careful with the plug-ins to the USB ports. Both of our ports went 
bad due to the constant flexing of the cables in our lap. The USB's are 
mounted on the mother board which is a layered board and the solder joints 
cannot be repaired. As soon as you get the Motion make sure you get a USB 
hub and mount on the back of the Motion. Don't plug anything that is going 
to constantly move into the ports on the computer.
