Most manufacturers use the same technology in different models, so the test results from one model often tell a lot about the whole product line.

We cannot say anything for certain about not tested models, though. In linux usability the best were Smartboard and Promethean. Linux support was quite polished and also the physical hardware were convincing. Both have reasonably well packaged software that have more advanced features than the rest. Dymo's MimioTeach was also interesting and it shines in use cases where mobility is a requirement. Overall impression of Mimio suffers from unpolished software packaging and lack of Finnish translation. Cleverboards had quite a few problems mostly caused by unfinished linux software. Hardware status / problem debugging from software Tested features have been compiled in the following table and every whiteboard model has its own article. Possible to see from command line if pen movements are received in software. Control panel has a list of connected devices. Wireless dongle is listed as a separate device. Hardware information can be seen in control panel. Update was not carried through while testing. In some cases installation can cause problems.

No clear requirements, in test setup both displays had to have same resolution for software to work.
