Obviously, if pen input is not desired, then one would need to concentrate on other qualities of the Duet.įor these, I have to say that as long as one is in Chrome (the browser), the new gesture-based interface works well.
Both the Samsung Tab S tablets (even old ones) and the iPads would be far preferable. Thus, for those who want to use the pen input, not for novelty but for real work, (note keeping, drafting), I would certainly advise them to look somewhere else for this capability.
After the failure of its tablet, I think that it gave up on this and although Lenovo did a good job hardware and price wise, it just cannot overcome the limitations of the OS. Thus, the lag with the pen is inherent in the Chrome OS and since my experience spans the period of 2 years, I just do not think that Google is serious in making pens work seamlessly with Chromebooks. I had the same problem with other Chromebooks that had faster processors. I do not think that the problem is caused by the processor capabilities of the Duet. There is distinct lag in most operations making it a poor choice for a pen tablet. The answer is that it is "barely passable". I have finally got my hands on the HP active USI stylus and I have been able to check its operability with the Duet. We have yet to see any new Chromebooks released or announced with the same "limitations," but we're hoping to see a new USI 2.0 stylus pen released sooner rather than later.A week or so ago, I posted here my personal experience with the IdeaPad Duet, a new ChromeOS tablet. On the somewhat bright side of things, the Chromebook Duet 3 is currently the only option available that relies on the USI 2.0 standard. Instead, you might pick up the new Chromebook, and try to use one of the (current) best USI pens, only to find that it won't work. We have requested clear documentation and marking, and also shipping with a 2.0 stylus (ideally) in order to minimize the confusion and user frustration.Īdding even more confusion to the mix, there's no clear indication on the retail packaging for the new Chromebook Duet 3 regarding the USI 2.0-only compatibility. We spent many months looking at alternatives to ensure backwards compatibility, but it was not doable. It is this timing constraint that caused us to have to modify our USI spec for some in-cell panels. Because the touch and display driver are more tightly integrated for in-cell, the touch sensing has to occur within certain timing windows in between the display being driven.
