I will say it's enough when I can turn the e-pages same fast as I can turn the real ones. For now from my experience with M96:
- native pdf textbooks - very close to what I want, a pleasant experience when browsing content;
- native pdf magazines - good, not very long but definitely noticeable wait before a page gets rendered, the more complex the content the longer the wait, more cpu would definitely help here;
- scanned pdf - this obviously varies with dpi and quality, generally acceptable for reading, unacceptable for casual browsing.
I would welcome first a faster cpu, then more cores, in this order because I don't know how much processing can be parallelised here.
Meanwhile I have just pre-ordered i86 (excited!
) mostly because of the higher resolution screen. It will be interesting to compare the experience with my M96. I was told that every preorder will get the original Onyx cover for free.
