Can only have one contact point at a time. If you do set the app to “Finger or Capacitive Pen” and write with your finger or a capacitive stylus, you CAN’T rest your palm on the screen. So swipes or palm movement won’t trigger any artifact lines on the screen. Once you have written something with the Bamboo stylus though it will immediately default to “Digitizer Pen” blocking out all finger input. The app will let you set it to, “Finger or Capacitive Pen”, “Digitizer Pen”, or “Auto Detect”. It’s clean and simple to use and has a lot of cool options, like exporting to PDF. Note 8 – This has been my favorite app for writing on the Note 8. Testing was done with my Zebra inkless ball point pen. ![]() The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Windows comes with AnyPen technology, which is basically a hyper sensitive capacitive layer that responds to fine tipped (minimum 1mm)metal or graphite points. My testing was done with a Wacom Bamboo stylus. As a refresher, the Asus Note 8 comes with Wacom technology built in. There are many others, but these have been designed specifically for writing, as opposed to only drawing (I’m not an artist). I am going to compare the writing functionality of five different programs/apps currently available for Windows tablets. Little has been done to improve this capability in small tablets. Not for only doodling, but for more important stuff. One important way that 8” tablets can differentiate themselves though is by serving as a pad of paper. Sure, Office 365 is included, but are you really going to use your 8” to develop an extensive spreadsheet or complex Power Point presentation, when a perfectly capable laptop or desktop is sitting two feet away. ![]() Let’s face it, 8” tablets are primarily consumption devices. What I think this article will reveal though are the slim offerings available for those that would like to use their 8” to 10” tablets for writing pads. The truth is that no capacitive tablet, regardless of whether it has AnyPen, ApplePen, or OtherPen technology built in, is going to beat the accuracy of a Wacom, or Wacom type (Surface Pro, etc.) tablet. Well, honestly that headline is clickbait. ![]()
