dman65 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I own a GridPad tablet from about 1989 that has an NEC V20 processor (16mhz). It runs a version of Windows 3.x for use with pen input or the GEOS operating environment. If I use a drawing program with this device I can drawn on the screen with the stylus, with no lag. If I want to use it like a notepad to take handwritten notes, I can actually do that because I don't have to wait a half second for it to finish painting what I just wrote to make sure the top of my T is in the right place. I also have a few different Android based phones and tablets which I have for testing applications we develop. But on these devices, even ones with dual core 1 ghz processors, if I use a drawing program to take notes, I experience lag in my drawing. I draw the vertical portion of a T and I have to wait for it to catch up so I can see where to draw the horizontal portion. Does anyone know powerful a machine has to be in order for the drawing to not lag behind? Can anyone explain why it is lagging behind? It just seems odd to me that a device with z processor 62 times as fast as something running Windows 3.x can't provide the same level of user interface.

BenjaminZero Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 If you have a cheap tablet that costs around 100$ - 150$ then i'm not suprised you experience lag. Try buying a Nexus 7 that comes with Jellybean OS the smoothest OS since Android. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
