Boogie Board Rip LCD Writing Tablet Customer Review
I have been searching for a tablet ideal for writing for years! Tablets like the i-pad are designed for surfing the web, playing games and watching movies which is fine, but I have a computer which I use for those things.When you write with the Boogie Board RIP there is no lag time! And you can see what you're writing on the surface you're writing on which makes it better than a Bamboo tablet (which I own). And it doesn't require special paper or use any paper. I've already made about a notebooks worth of notes!
The lines on the screen are thicker than the save lines, but that doesn't bother me. The only slight glitch is that if you're writing fast not every stroke is saved, but a good deal of them are. I can still figure out what my notes are about later. And over time I've gotten better at writing on it so more of my notes actually save. Also there's this indicator light that tells you if the tablet is registering your stroke. At first I thought this light would bug me, but I actually find it really helpful.
Also at first I wondered what I would do with all the documents in PDF form, but I found a free vector PDF editor Inkscape and a free PDF merger PDF Split and Merge Basic. So now I can put all my notes into notebooks. I have them all uploaded onto my kindle and they look amazing.
The battery life is amazing. I've never even seen it get close to running out of juice. As for the memory I use it to take notes during for classes a day and doodle in between classes and at most I have 50 pages at the end of the day.
Also the fact that you can just use it as scratch paper and not save your notes is actually really helpful.
And I must say it is simply really fun to write on!
One thing I would recommend is buying through Brookstone's website since you can get a protection plan. I got mine through Improv Electronics so I don't have one. However it is actually rather sturdy feeling so maybe you don't need to bother.
The only real downside is that the manual is all pictures. I wish they'd just used words. I eventually figured out locking it would put it to sleep.
Anyway if you just want something to write this is the best thing on the market. Unlike other companies Improv actually has a history selling this product! Their customer service is really good!
