I don’t want an iPad, so what do I want? jeremycherfas.net
@ton The BOOX get good reviews, but having done some more research, maybe an iPad IS what I want. I was looking at the top end. But the plain and simple wifi only model, at under €400 (without pencil) might be the best value for money.
@jeremycherfas I had a low-end iPad about 3 years ago and found it excellent except for one thing: the screen wasn’t laminated so sounded hollow and a bit noisy when I tapped on it. A less noticeable effect of the absence of lamination was that the items onscreen didn’t seem to be directly under my finger. I don’t know whether they’ve improved the screens since. The screen certainly wasn’t a deal-breaker for me.
@artkavanagh Tapping with a finger, or a pencil?
@artkavanagh Thanks. I probably won’t do pencil either, if I go that route. But never say never …
@jeremycherfas The other day I read about supernote.com but I don’t have any experience with it. I’m 100% in the Apple eco system.
@metbril Yes, that looks a bit like the Remarkable tablet and although they are interesting I don’t think it would work for me.
@jeremycherfas From what I’ve read their price range is lower than Remarkable. Although I wouldn’t buy one myself, I would like to hold one for some time.
