I have sold my Lenovo thinkpad tablet 2 a couple months ago but now I miss it a lot because I am taking a class which requires me to download 25-30 pages of homework (digital circuits, block diagrams, code) do the homework using a pencil, erase more than I actually end up writing and in the end my timing diagrams don't look that great, I have all this eraser junk everywhere, I have to take the pages that pertain the homework, then scan them and then upload them. I think with my Lenovo tablet this would have been much easier but then I did not like the Atom CPU and the 2 gig ram limitation on the Lenovo. It is just not feasible for an all out operating system like Win8.
Anyways, I have been thinking about the picking up the new Ipad Air. How is the PDF editing software and pen capability for it? I am aware that palm rejection is finicky and requires the software to provide a rejection are for your palm to sit on and everything.
In the end, what I am looking for is being able to read and edit 20-30 page pdf files and watch medium resolution lectures from my dropbox, which I think the Ipad Air can do better than the thinkpad tablet 2. I also want a very responsive pen input, which Lenovo provides using a Wacom digitizer but I am not sure how the Ipad is. I saw some youtube videos and people were saying things like
"oh look at this, it is great" while drawing a line and I can clearly see that the application takes .2 seconds or so to update the screen. I am positive that this is not Ipad's fault since the A7 CPU is probably just as fast, if not faster than the Atom that I used to use, with much less overhead than Win8 so it must be the crappy applications that limits the functionality.
