It is more susceptible to palm rejection errors, but with Clip Studio Paint's ability to stop marking with touch, it's not a big issue IMO. With Wacom AES, as with Wacom EMR, a co-processor off loads the touch and pen operation from the CPU, so even the Atom CPU tablets will give you nearly full pressure curve response and low initial insertion force.įor AES vs EMR, I think AES is better for smaller tablets due to lack of edge jittering and edge accuracy. This reduces the pressure actuation response greatly on the Surface 3 due to the very weak Atom CPU. This means that the pen action will be dependent on CPU power. It uses N-Trig Duo Sense 2, and in S3, it does not have the touch co-processor MS and N-Trig introduced in SP4 and Surface Book. Surface 3 option for 10' frankly is not my favorite. For 10', you can opt for Dell Venue, but it uses older CPU.
Dell Venue is pretty much only option with pen for 8'. If you must stay 10' and below, your choices are limited. If you move up to 12', get the Miix 700 as detailed in earlier post. If you are OK with their sizes, I highly recommend them over 8' or 10.1' due to use of Atom CPUs of eMMC storage. SP3 and SP4 are 12' and 12.3' respectively.
