Display and Multimedia
As mentioned earlier, the Notepad 4G sports a 10.1-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display or equal to 224ppi. It’s sharp, bright with good colors and viewing angles. It’s reflective though so you might want to keep that in mind if you’re going to use it outdoors. Other than that, the large display makes for a good device for watching videos and for sketching and doodling using the IntelliPen.
The speakers, on the other hand, is underwhelming. It’s audible if you’re listening in a small space but not as loud as we want it to be. When it comes to sound quality, it’s trebly and sibilant most of the time. The bass is very weak so if you’re planning to play tunes on it, we highly suggest using a good pair of headphones or a Bluetooth-enabled speaker.
OS, Apps, and Features
Running the O+ Notepad’s software department is Windows 10 64-bit. When docked to the keyboard it uses the standard desktop mode but automatically switches to its tablet interface when you remove it. A simple implementation yet very convenient.
O+ didn’t include a lot of pre-installed apps and just included Word Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile, Excel Mobile and OneNote. Overall, the O+ Notepad’s 64GB of storage provides you with a pretty decent 44GB of usable storage.
One of the main features of the O+ Notepad is the IntelliPen which is very handy if you want to use the tablet to jot down notes or make sketches. What is sad though is that O+ didn’t care to elaborate much on the technical capabilities of the pen, not even in the manual or their website.
Here are what we’ve noticed on the functions of the pen so far:
• The pen is powered by a quadruple-A (AAAA) battery.
• Automatically works on the O+ Notepad. No need to pair or sync.
• When using Fresh Paint, the lower button lets you hold and drag the canvas while the upper button works as an eraser.
• The tip is pressure sensitive. When using the Fresh Paint app we just lightly slide the tip if we want a lighter stroke. Apply just a little bit of pressure and you’ll get a thicker and more prominent stroke. See sample below.
Performance-wise, the IntelliPen works well as it is responsive and nice to hold. Although we would like it to be more sensitive as there are times some light strokes do not register.
