for me, the Edge pen delay when annotating PDFs is terrible. What about you? Do you also think ON for Windows 10 is superior or is that just an unpopular opinion of mine? I would be happy to hear from you. With that as a conclusion, thank you for reading until now. I just feel like it is not the right move to put a better product to sleep in favor of something worse and I am not sure if Microsoft will bring massive updates to the ON program to make it more accessible, especially on touch like ON for Windows 10 is. I am aware that Microsoft will support ON for Windows 10 till 2025 and then I am probably done with whatever I (being a student) am currently doing in OneNote so I at least actually have a choice.

ON also appears to have a little more pen input delay, but needless to say, both of the programs absolutely bottleneck the Surface Pen's small delay (or at least it is a lot shorter in Apps like Sticky Notes) so Microsoft, please fix!

Both used a significant portion of the CPU while writing pushing the i5 up to being about 25% used but they didn't seem to differ that much.īoth also run smooth most of the time but randomly struggle for reasons beyond my understanding. In general, I think ON has a higher demand but I really can't prove that. Sometimes ON for Windows 10 needed five times the resources when displaying the same content, sometimes it was the other way around. Talking about Quickness, the two either were at the same level of RAM and CPU-usage or alternated between running on a toaster and being a resource hog. I am aware that ON has a full screen mode but so does ON for Windows 10 which has more features such as changing your pen, which generally IS quite useful.

ON for Windows 10 didn't need any of those compromises, it was designed to be simple, compact and quick. This combined with the less functionality you get, even though the menu to add things to the bar is really powerful, gives you less space-efficiency. Once again, ON for Windows 10 on the left and ON on the right

One note for windows 10
