Ask HN: Doing math on a tablet?

3 pointsbjourne1 comment

Is anyone using a tablet with stylus for doing math calculations? I've been looking for one to replace my pens and stacks of paper, but the ones I have tried have all sucked in various ways. Like not being responsive or sensitive enough or not having high enough dpi.

But perhaps someone can recommend a mathematics-friendly tablet?

If I was forced to do math on a tablet I would choose the reMarkable e-ink tablet.

Why? First, because backlit displays never allows me to get into a very focused and almost meditative state that allows me to do math well. Hence it has to be e-ink, and then the reMarkable seems to have the least input lag of e-ink devices.

But I'm sure I would be less productive than on plain old pen and paper...
