FWIW, I've been a fan of stylus computing since first drawing with an inexpensive graphics tablet on a Commodore 64.
The highwater mark of my computer experience was an NCR-3125 running PenPoint (as a mobile device) paired with a NeXT Cube with a Wacom ArtZ stylus.
For a long while now I've been using Windows pen computers and Tablet PCs --- one of the best was a Fujitsu Stylistic ST4121 which I still use to drive a scanner and to control CNC machines when using them on my back deck (it has a transflective display which works in direct sunlight). Current machine is a Samsung Galaxy Book 12 running the 1703 build of Windows 10 since I can't stand how Fall Creators Update and later cripple styluses on devices which have touch.
I'd like to switch back to Mac OS X, but I prefer a Wacom EMR stylus to an Apple Pencil, and I need for my computer to be mobile and able to run a full OS, so the iPad Pro doesn't suit my needs, and having it and even a Mac Mini adds up pretty quickly:
- iPad Pro
- Apple Pencil
these would (sort of) work when traveling. I'd need to add:
- Astropad Duet
- Mac Mini
- Wacom Cintiq
for use at home. I'd be much happier if Apple would just update OpenSTEP so that I could run it on my GB12.
