Hantech tablo windows 7

I was able to calibrate it on a 15"laptop and play around with the ink application. Windows 7:No need to install drivers, works out of box. May take a bit of configuring the pen so it works as desired, but you do not need to install any additional software. The only issue I had while testing it on windows 7 was due to my laptop screen being 17". Linux: I have not tried it with linux so I am not sure if it works or not.

The manufacturer does not provide linux drivers. In terms of accuracy, the pen seems to be most accurate in the centre of the screen. As you go out towards the corners it becomes slightly less accurate. It works great on a 15" laptop, but on my 17" laptop It was not able to pickup the edges of the screen. The neat thing about this product, is that you can place it on a table and use it as a notepad. I tested it with the Math Equation program which comes with windows 7 in accessories folder.

It worked very well. So even if you have a larger lcd, it may be useful for writing instead of buying a tablet. It comes with a lot of extra stuff in my opinion. Mine came with 4 extra felt tips and 3 extra metal tips. I have not yet sued the metal tips, but the felt tips work well on both paper, and a laptop screen.

It attaches to you laptop via magnet. It can be used with almost all Windows software. Navigation can be controlled directly on the screen. The stylus will be your mouse. You can click and drag items, access right click options and fully control your device with it. The system is very user friendly. If you want to simply start a new document just open one and start writing. Its responsiveness is quite accurate and if you want it to be even more so, you can train the system to better understand your handwriting.

For example, Tablo can be used with inexpensive netbooks with inch screens, whereas most tablet PCs have larger screens -- and the extra weight that comes with them. But the overall experience of the device needs work. First, rather than simply clipping to the top of a laptop like a webcam, the Tablo receiver requires a tiny magnetic ingot that must be stuck to the laptop's surface and must be removed when the laptop is closed.

Also, even after calibrating the Tablo, the stylus wasn't as precise as that on a tablet PC. The stylus can feel unnerving against the screen. And, finally, since notebooks that aren't designed for a touch screen generally can't operate with their screen flat against a surface, a Tablo-equipped PC isn't as convenient for extended note-taking as a tablet PC.

A new generation of touch-screen notebooks will be made possible by the arrival of Windows 7. These will include support for touch technology that uses your fingers rather than a stylus like an iPhone , and will support new enhancements that take advantage of touch.

While these will be more expensive than a cheap PC with Tablo, they will be able to do some slick things. Some will allow you to use both hands for natural manipulation of information -- for instance, expanding or shrinking a digital photo.

If you must have pen input today, spend the extra money for a tablet PC.
