I tried Apple Pencil at an Apple store, and can't help but feel that it low-pass filters much more aggressively than my Surface Pro 4 which uses a version of NTrig2 tech. More low-pass filtering means more effective latency.

I run FL Studio and a bunch of VSTs, and I agree with you on at least this: the processor still can't meet the need if you use a lot of synth, and 16GiB RAM is still too small if you replace the synths with samplers instead.

Because if you still want a piece after the last piece being taken, you'll have to bother yourself with going to the grocery store to grab a whole?

I work for Microsoft, but I got my Surface Pro 4 before joining. For me, the pen is a required feature, since I have been using a ThinkPad X201T for a long time. While NTrig2 is still lacking for painting (compared to Wacom), it is actually

The robustness and flexibility of a constraint solver (including limited symbolic capability) is what I enjoy the most when using systems like Inventor and SolidWorks, compared to say OpenSCAD. Compared to hard-coding dimensions, proper usa

Then how about Cortex-M0, instead of M3? Surely enough that can save quite a bit of area, while still enjoying the good interrupt support of Cortex-M?

What a surprising find! I would imagine Cortex-M3 (with 24 KiB RAM in total) a huge overkill for just power management. And it totally escapes me why the realtime co-processors are using a custom ISA solution rather than just using Cortex-M

Second this. While solid wood items are more expensive and heavy, they last significantly longer and don't flex as much.

The interactivity features are awesome. For non-interactive online simulation though I use https://www.partsim.com/ , which has a clunky UI but gives you the freedom to use SPICE.

The DAW itself is usually highly optimized. What eats the CPU: synths and effects (because your CPU is not a dedicated DSP). What eats the RAM: Samplers (by GiBs).
