A little while ago, I (Michiel) promised a review of E-Prime
on the new Surface Pro 4 (SP4). The idea is this: given that these machines are
developed by the same company (i.e. Microsoft), they should all work in rather
similar ways, so that, for once, we have that rare thing in the non-Mac
community: a common experience. Apart from the convenience in terms of
transferable user experience or bug reporting, this has obvious benefits for
experimental design and replicability in particular. Furthermore, PST did
extensive testing with the SP3, and I hope they keep that up, creating a kind
of optimal experimental experience with a single device having known benefits
and drawbacks. Finally, being into motor control and perception-action integration research, I am obviously keen on using the touch and pen in experiments.
So, full of good cheer, I started with E-Prime (2.0.10.356)
running on Windows 10 build 10586 and quickly ran into problems.
