Motion Computing MC1400.

12.1" XGA TFT, Celeron M 900, Intel 855GME chipset, and maximum of 60Gb storage as standard.

They weigh about 3lbs as well, in case anyone was wondering.

Unfortunately, you can't get hold of them anymore... but Motion do have an "LE" series out now which is quite similar, and more up-to-date, performance wise.

Why did they stop selling them? They seem pretty sweet to me

Well originally the "Tablet PC" concept was just to have thin-client wireless displays which connected using remote desktop to a server/desktop system; it was called "Mira" or "Microsoft Smart Displays", but they went out of fashion when companies started offering full-featured Tablet PCs...

The "slate" style never really caught on though, the majority of Tablet PCs you see out there today are the "convertible" types, which have a swivel-screen which folds down on top of the keyboard.

I'd much rather have one of the original Mira displays myself though :-P

There is plenty of Dell product placement in Stargate.

There are a good few on Ebay at what look's like decent prices.

Sorry, I keep forgetting that most of you live in the states lol.

Apparently the M1400 (rather than the MC1400) series is a Pentium M rather than a Celeron, which == much higher performance.

You can pick them up for around $700 Buy It Now, which isn't actually too bad
