Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have an iPad Pro and the deal breaker is using the pencil over glass. I wouldn't mind a little latency if they get the paper feel right.

I have an iPad pro 11" (the last gen) and it's in par with professional drawing tablets from Wacom in terms of feel on glass, and that's solveable with a $15 screen protector. It also has access to procreate or Adobe fresco if you're still up to getting abused by Adobe as opposed to whatever remarkable can come up with. It seems odd to be coming down on the iPad pro for drawing/writing - it's a lot of money but the e…

Yeah but it's also a locked ecosystem, so no thanks. The nice thing about a device like this is that it's purpose built: it can basically do one thing, and claims it does it well.

An ipad is a walled garden of expensive hardware and software that does everything, at a high price. Those are completely different worlds, and if we're talking "it costs a lot of dollars", I already own a universal tablet monitor. I don't need something that does less and costs more.

But no mention and video evidence of the pen input lag and precision, which is what's supposed to set this apart from other eink display solutions. The 1 has some lag, just enough to still be a nuisance: did the 2 fix that?

A Youtuber made a Lego robot that moves a pen at a constant speed and took 480fps video of it. He says the 1 had a latency of 54ms and the 2 has its advertised 21ms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpwbVwfWIKE&t=17m53s About precision, I'm not really sure. There's a bunch of writing footage in this video, which might have what you're looking for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9wudCMFWPQ&t=8m10s

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24300982 for how that video is the poster child of "very intentionally making it impossible to actually determine real life lag".
