a real fashion phenomenon in the 2010s, then as an everyday object for individuals and professionals.
But what exactly is a digital tablet ?
A Digital Touch tablet can be described as being as the perfect combination of a laptop and a smartphone. Indeed, we find there all the functionalities present on a laptop as well as the external design elements of a smartphone with its applications on the recent versions.
The first touch tablet was born is 1987, invented by an American company, it revolutionized handwriting by transforming it into digital characters.

But the digital touch tablet are still fragile objects whose use is limited to “classic” conditions of use and do not take into account hostile field conditions.
It is in this desire to provide solutions to this that Motion developed, in 2002, the Motion Computing M1400. Motion revolutionizes the digital tablet market by creating a ruggedized tablet that withstands shocks and hostile conditions. This rugged tablet will be a big hit with professionals, who, for the first time, will be able to use it directly in the field. Motion will then create numerous models with higher performance in terms of resistance to various types of tests,
while integrating the technological advances of the moment. In 2016, Xplore bought out Motion before being acquired itself in 2018 by American giant Zebra.
