Motion Computing M1400

My fun little drawing tablet! It was a freebie, and all it really needed was a new hard drive as the one inside was very far south! It was making some LOUD sounds, enough that I thought it was a failing fan…only to find out, the system’s fanless! I attempted to copy its original XP Tablet Edition install in its entirety, but I kept having BSODs. According to the data within, the system hadn’t been used since late-2005!

In lieu of this, I attempted Windows 7 installation so I could use FireAlpaca – my preferred drawing app – and it’s been working happily since. Well, other than the battery, because that is history!

Specs:

  • CPU: Intel Pentium M 1.1GHz
  • RAM: 2GB (formerly: 512MB)
  • HDD: IBM 40GB 4200RPM HDD (formerly: Toshiba 30GB 4200RPM)
  • OS: Windows 7 32-bit (formerly: XP Tablet Edition)

    Any chance you’re willing to sell the keyboard on that? Looking to get one for an M1400 I just recently picked up myself, for Stargate reasons, but trying to find one online rn is *ABYSMAL*. Like, to the point of being basically *impossible*.

      Hi there, thanks for visiting my website! Unfortunately the keyboard on mine actually hardly works, I wound up hooking up a compact 65% mechanical keyboard to it. Connected with an angled USB-C cable, they fit perfectly together on the desk where I use it! I do wish you luck on your project though!
