Is it not possible to write with a stylus on the W700 as on the Microsoft Surface Pro?

    To write with a stylus, its possible.

    To write with the SAME stylus, its not possible.

     

    The thing is, Surface Pro use an advanced stylus technology named 'Wacom', which requires the 'sensor' to be installed to the screen. Unfortunately, the W700 has no advanced sensor like that. The W700 only has typical touchscreen sensor, like most Android tablets.

    It is possible, but not a good experience.  Although it is very possible to select small screen elements (check boxes, expand/contract buttons, etc.), the driver has a problem with motion: basically, it smooths out movements so that you have to make large letters for them to be recognizable.  (For example, the loop in a lowercase "e" will disappear altogether unless you draw the "e" maybe 3 cm tall or larger.)  Really, the only thing I don't like about the device.
