Inking with N-Trig is equivalent to inking with Wacom on the LE1700, but with one plus for the N-Trig: I can now draw over (following) a straight line as I always did before and without having to continually track the cursor with the eye. Then I looked at a video with dark scenes and I turned down the screen intensity to minimum. I installed the latest graphics driver from the Intel site to make sure and then installed the demo of SilkyPix and played with it developing some of my RAW files. Installation went smoothly and many of the concerns I had evaporated quickly:ġ.
I got an SP3 i7 256GBytes yesterday with the option of returning it. Also, the MS return policy is wonderful, so trying one out can be a possibility for some on tye fence.Ĭlick to expand.That was good advice. Necessity (or lack thereof) dictates a lot. Of course, if the le1700 does what you need, then that's a different story. The SP3 also has a screen size that's teg closest they've gotten to that wonderful 12.1" 3:4 screen on the le1700. Of course, I loved the le1700 hardware buttons and screen size, but the alternate benefits are too great to pass up for me- battery life, cpu power, touch input, brightness and contrast, etc.
Also, with the SP3 Type Cover keyboard always around on my slate, I tend to type more on a slate than I used to. Pen input is mostly reserved for OneNote and the professional art apps I need. They're supposed to be improving some of these pen and touch things with Windows 10, but I find touch input so much better on Windows 8 that I use it for many things I used to use the pen for. It's possible you might be better suited to waiting. Thanks for any any additional information on those issues. I never had to replace the nib of the Wacom pen that came with the LE1700. It looks like that problem is going to stay. Is there a chance Microsoft will solve the nib issue soon? It has already been six months and they didn't come up with a harder tip yet. Obviously there is a learning curve but I am feeling there are regressions here.Īnyone knows whether one can run the older Windows7 InputPanel in Windows8 and whether one can run Windows Journal? I feel the interaction with Windows8 is not as smooth as what I was used to with Windows7. I was annoyed by a few flaws of the Pro3: 1) the pen nib deteriorated far too quickly, 2) the new Input Panel is locked at the bottom of the screen and cannot be made to float as it is the case in Windows7, and 3) there are a lot of things I could do with the just the pen on Windows7, and I now need to use fingers to do the same thing. I went to a shop yesterday to give the Surface Pro3 a try and the result is that I was not convinced to buy one. Of course I like the battery life, the screen resolution and the 8GBytes memory on the newer Surface Pro3 and I would like to get one. I use Windows Journal and the Tablet PC Input Panel a lot. I have been using the LE1700 with Windows7 for some years.
