But, in that case, how would it be different from just drawing on my Surface with my surface pen? It's kinda exactly what you need.

- brians 10y agoLatency and n-way multitouch.
- ageofwant 10y agoAbout $1000 dollars last time I checked. Add to that the cost of mental health issues associated with the use of Microsoft products and its a non-starter.
- mb_72 10y agoWhat experience do you have with using Microsoft products and resultant mental health issues? I'm guessing none, and it's just another throw-away remark that is anti-Microsoft, ignorant of the interesting and - in my experience at least - pro-good-mental health work they've been doing recently.
- reachtarunhere 10y agoI used to dislike Microsoft till recently. After using OneNote (on Wine) and their keyboard (Natural 4000) I am now a fan.
- jaxn 10y agoI switched from Windows to Linux in 2001, from Linux to Mac in 2004, and from Mac to Windows in 2016. The Surface is a great machine and Windows 10 is a good OS.
- tedmiston 10y agoOne upside of the Boogie Board approach is trivial battery usage.
- Waterluvian 10y agoIt's also instant access. It's just there, always running, always immediately ready.
- aerique 10y agoWhat the Boogie Board does, it does really well but I really missed being able to page back and forth and an easy OCR workflow when I still had one.
- nomel 10y agoI've found they're extremely fragile though. I can't imagine it would hold up in a backpack, without a hard cover.
- CN7R 10y agoI feel like buying a Surface just to have drawing capabilities is expensive -- why not just make a screen ascessory that lays onto of your keyboard (or not) and plugs in via USB-C?
- SyneRyder 10y agoRather than a screen accessory plugging into a laptop, this is what I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A With S-Pen for. Retails for about $250 USD, it's an Android tablet that also comes with an integrated active pen, like the Note series of phones. You can share your drawings / writing with your laptop using Dropbox etc, at a fraction of the price of the Pencil-compatible iPads. [I think you've been downvoted unfairly - although I think the Surface drawing capabilities are excellent & superior, they might be overkill for some use cases.]
- devdoomari 10y agogetting a thinkpad X230T or a thinkpad helix (with wacom pen) from Ebay is much cheaper ;)
