However i notice  performance increase in 3D, compared to windows 7.

does the auto rotation work?

@kianoush

no, you have to change manually under display options in the desktop mode.

Thanks for the demo. Does the Wacom pen works with W8 with the pressure sensitivity? I'm interested on seeing a painting tool such as Photoshop working on W8 with wacom pen. Can you do that for us please?

Thanks

how did you find the instal process? Was there a lot of configuration required to get the touch input working? Does pen input work?

[fnmbanga]

@djanile8 Install is fast and simple. The only devices that were not natively installed were bluetooth and g-sensor.

Have you noticed any increase in battery life?

[excalibur1814]

@marcialtoledano Unlikely as it's a dev version with drivers that are not quite ready

@marcialtoledano while using it no, but i have noticed that when you lock the screen (push the top switch once, not sleeping it) it somehow uses no battery at all. It went 12 hours in that state and didn't lose more than 15% I'd estimate. on is instant, doesn't seem to have to 'wake up'. pretty impressed with that feature.

watched netflix on it, worked pretty well. the speakers are too quiet though.

Cool!
