Latency has been the issue that kept me from adopting handwriting more widely with a digital device (other than the Boogie Board Sync, which however has its own limitations).

But recently there have been more reports that this has been fixed now on the newest generation of Chromebooks that come with integrated styluses (only the Samsung Chromebook Plus and Pro and the Google Pixelbook so far), in conjunction with Android apps such as Squid, LectureNotes, and Painter. Here is some proof:

It sounds like Samsung is at the forefront of this. I haven’t looked into how iPad Pro performs in this respect. One day I would like to be able to use handwriting on the same machine that I use for everything else. As for the Surface, my impression is that it’s a bit clunky (at least from people who had switched to Chromebooks instead).
