Comparison to Boogie Board

I work at a place that used to sell the Boogie Board, another LCD writing tablet. Because I have an employee discount, I could buy one for a fairly reasonable price (for a Boogie Board, they were retailed around $40). I use it for a memo pad at my home computer desk.Fast forward a few years, I get a second job, where note taking is crucial. I can easily go through a stack of sticky notes. After a week, I start bringing my Boogie Board to work. After another week, I started looking for something to replace the Boogie Board. Enter THIS.So what are the differences? Well, I like this better. And it is WAY cheaper. Let's get into details.The boogie board stylus is attached to a clip you slide onto the board, which then lets you attach to the wall. This makes the Boogie Board a little clumsy to move around, because it's hard to slide the clip on and off all the time, making the stylus easy to lose. And if you keep the clip on, you aren't writing on a flat surface.On THIS pad, the stylus nests right into the board, making it easy to keep track of while creating a flat surfaceThe Boogie Board does not have a locking function. THIS does.The quality of writing for both is the same. They respond to the same pressure, with the same visibility, and erase just as well, Though after a few years, my Boogie Board shows signs of scratches.There is only one way in which the Boogie Board is better. When writing on this tablet, there's the very slight feeling that I'm writing on a soft, top layer, and sometimes in my mind I'm expecting to see it wrinkle. Of course, it doesn't. The boogie board surface is very hard and firm, giving it just a little leg up for durability. Otherwise, don't spend the money. This is just as good, if not better.

Pros
  • The tablet's buttons are intuitive and easy to use, with a clear erase button that allows you to quickly and easily start over
Cons
  • Not suitable for extremely cold weather
