I had been using a
Toshiba M200 tablet in 320 for the past 18 months to deliver WxWorx
information. I'd had my share of problems with WxWorx and my GPS (all
eventually resolved). The only real problem was the screen - it wasn't
sunlight readable.
A few weeks ago my
tablet was stolen. I ordered a new Motion Computing LE1600 computer and it
arrived last Thursday - just in time for a trip to MA. Here is my initial
review:
1. Small and
lightweight
2. Beautiful
display - bright and clear
3. Crashed
enroute to Westchester airport about 45 minutes into it's first flight.
Felt hot to the touch and got a black screen indicating (BIOS?) failure.
Eventually got it to reboot, but then it wouldn't open
WxWorx.
4. Seemed
relativel stable while on the ground, but on return flight I couldn't get it to
recognize the GPS and it wouldn't resume after going into standby. Had to
reboot numerous times...
Has anyone had
problems with the LE1400 and heat? My computer was in direct
sunlight... but my Toshiba never had any problem...
I'll post future
results.
