A set-up - testing the Max2 as monitor
I am doing the first actual real world tests of using the Max2 as a monitor, and I must say the results are quite satisfactory.
The set-up is composed of:
-- the Max2 using the modified HDMI Monitor app, and the touchscreen functions;
-- a MiniPC, that * for its very low price provides a speed compatible with not-so-old high-end desktops, * weighs like the tablet and is as big as a fist, * is almost completely noiseless, and * consumes an unbelievable 10 watts, measured;
-- a BlueTooth keyboard that also offers a mousepad, the luxury of a numpad and a slot to host your devices, slanted.
I am typing on it right now (and have been for the past two hours). It is very, very, almost-third-very satisfactory.
Now my goal is to have a good environment for LibreOffice, to have more features than on Kingsoft when it's good to have them. I tried briefly, and I am almost impressed.
The attached picture was edited on the Gimp with this set-up. As is understandable, using the Gimp on EPD has been the perplexing and not so easy experience in the whole - but that is just with relevance to getting a result, while operating on the interface was reasonably quite comfortable. Of course, the whole interaction is a mix of keyboard, touch and pad.
