I remember buying my first LCD display in the CRT era. It was tiny, thick, ugly, and of course expensive. Now they’re cheap and everywhere. The same will happen

I remember buying my first LCD display in the CRT era. It was tiny, thick, ugly, and of course expensive. Now they’re cheap and everywhere. The same will happen with e-ink in time.
Honestly I would rather have the iPad for note taking. Response times are important for rapid idea translation, and e-ink systems are very lacking here, whereas the iPad is not. Probably an unpopular opinion, but it’s my own experience.
- pidg 6y agoResponse time (i.e. pen touch to pixel appearing) on the latest generation of e-ink devices is literally imperceptible, though I believe they've had to cut a few minor corners to get it to that level.
- ComputerGuru 6y agoDrawing a pixel where none exists is not too bad. The trouble is drawing when there is already something on the screen.
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoThe iPad also has a massive library of software. There is an app called “Concepts” which provides an infinite canvas in all directions and it seems really useful for engineering and design type people where you can just draw an idea in the middle and move outwards with notes or alternate revisions. All in color, with pressure sensitivity.
