The PowerBox MOTION is about to be discontinued.

Available while stock lasts.  Then ex-demo/loan units available. 

The PowerBox MOTION is a rugged and powerful tablet computer based on Windows 7 or Windows 8. At a little over 1kg (tablet only), it is one of our lightest complete communication aids suitable for a mobile child or adult. It has been designed for use in a demanding environment and can withstand the knocks and bumps that are inevitable with a portable device. The screen is sealed against exposure to moisture. It also features a 64GB solid state hard drive with no moving parts, and excellent battery life.
