I think Win 7 is better than the Win XP recognition on my prior Motion C5 tablet, in that it appears almost instantaneously.

I don't use handwriting much, because AC is not a handwriting-aware, so the text has to be written in the text recognition box and then press enter to put it into the AC window.

I do this also, although this is not as fast as the bluetooth keyboard. At least by typing the text is entered directly into the AC window. The keyboard overlaps the windows, so some scrolling is needed.

I used a 10 inch Motion C5 for several years, and the improved screen size of the ASUS more than makes up for the slightly bigger tablet. I wish I had the hot-swap battery of the C5 though! The Acer Iconia tablet is Android 3, so I don't know that you want this for running AC.

I can do the whole note on simple visits since I use mostly templates, and pen or touch entry works great clicking through the template screens. New & complex patients I do on my desktop, which has Dragon (I haven't used Dragon on the ASUS yet, mostly due to battery life).
