We would have loved if Samsung had created a slot in the Series 7 Slate where we could dock the pen when it wasn't being used, similar to the ThinkPad tablet.

While we were able to write directly into Sticky Notes and Windows Journal, we had to use the pen input section of the Windows keyboard for the Notes app. Not every app is optimized for the stylus. When there was a mistake, we simply drew a horizontal line through the error to erase it or we held the pen over the word, which opened an expanded view that allowed for more precise corrections. However, we found the Lenovo ThinkPad tablet to be slightly more accurate. Whether we were in Paint or Windows Journal, the pen was able to translate our scribbles into the correct word or phrase approximately 80 percent of the time. The pen was comfortable, and the buttons on its side and top made it easy to right-click and select items on screen. The active Wacom stylus made for a smooth, mostly error-free experience.
