I updated as soon as I got the PE, figuring not to risk any data loss, so I can't really answer any questions pre-Ermine.
- Boot time from power off is fairly long, but no longer then booting an iPad from power off. Mine is set to hibernate 30 seconds after closing, and I get the unlock screen about 7 sec after pressing the menu button when re-animating it.
- Being a loooong time graduate of Palm Grafitti input, the lag never bothers me. Don't really look at what you've written until you're done. The device is capturing everything, just a little slow in displaying it (e-ink technology limits). Some have reported the last stroke made by the pen is not displayed until they refresh the screen, but I haven't seen that.
- No loud clicks on mine, and construction seems much more solid than alot of the current lower price tablets I've played with. But please, no hammering!
- All technology is obsolete as soon as you buy it.
