I personally got used to the stylus and use it as everyday substitute of most of my paper (expecially for preparing my talks or taking notes), using Notability. It has a nice zoom feature which I got used to and works well for sup/subscripts. But I have never tried it as a board, so I trust your word better. | |

The typical pen sold (aftermarket) for the Ipad has a very fat end (it's just replacing your finger) so it's not too surprising. Like writing with the eraser end of the pencil instead of the lead end. | |

| Jun 15, 2013 at 10:20 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | (1) worse writing quality than an active digitizer, especially for writing in smaller sizes --- and if you use it as a blackboard, you need to write small (2) can't disable touch input; this leads to spurious inputs whenever a part of your body other than the pen touches the iPad. You might get used to that, but if you give the tablet to, say, a student, they won't be able to get good results without some training. Of course, I realize that this might just be a pet peeve of mine after years of habit with active-digitizer tablets, but at least it's an opinion that is shared by several [...] | |

I have never tried to connect it to a projector, but I use it as tablet+stylus for taking notes during talks or simply when working on my own, and I find the result really good, both in terms of easiness of use and readability of the output. | |
