Supernote A5X2 Manta: eInk Tablet Unboxing & Impressions
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.16 часов назад
This is my unboxing of the Supernote A5X2 Manta from Ratta. It’s a 10.7-inch eInk tablet whose main focus is note-taking and reading. It has some native apps, like a calendar, and though it’s based on Android (11), it does not have access to the Android App Store. It’s a unique device in the eInk space with a very unique writing experience and software. Some might say both of those experiences ...

Supernote A5X2 eInk Tablet Design Update
Glad you’re sharing a potential issue or dislike. Helps those of us who can’t afford to buy one just to find out.
Thank you for this incredibly useful information. I didn't know about many of these features.
You're welcome :)
And there are probably another 20 reasons why the Supernotes in any version trump the Boox devices, not the least of which are the hundreds of unhappy reddit responders complaining about Boox's horrible or non-existent customer service, which ALWAYS BLAMES the user rather than the device. How is it possible that so many youtube reviewers never tire of praising the Boox tablets? Are they getting kick-backs or something? There are many, many unhappy Boox users.
Correction, make that 100 reasons, lol. I'll be getting into many of them in the coming weeks :) Thanks for stopping by.
@@rantsabouttechnology I'm so glad I found this video you've made. I really didn't know about several of these very useful features you'd detailed here. Many thanks for all the useful insights - and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Dang! I'm so sorry. I was watching a replay of one of you live streams, and I thought, why not go on and support the channel. I've missed a few of the streams because work has been crazy. Super funny how you called me out!
There you are, been looking for you, LOL. It's cool bro, we miss you when you ain't there but glad you can catch the replay. Oh and happy holidays and Merry Christmas 🎄
These are great reasons for someone like me who's been on the fence with getting one but did go with the Manta :) now to just to wait.
Thanks. You're going to love the writing feel. Nothing like it.
Ghosting on the Manta seems to be so much worse than the Nomad
I've heard that a lot. I'm going to do a comparison. I agree but let's get that camera proof. Thanks, just the idea I needed. No script, no B Roll just ghosting tests.
for a company aka ratta to push these as a for those that write, the nomad just misses the mark, syncing issues between devices and even if you rotate the nomad to landscape for some reason the template lines get bigger which again takes away from the writing experience for me, I have tried them all and will stick with the RM2/paper pro system even with limitations compared to a Boox, nothing beats RM paper pro when it comes to writing
I like having both. One at my desk and the other for on the go. Remarkable does not offer that option.
The syncing and the scaling could use work, indeed. And the touch input for the Manta also needs work. But as far as writing experience, and organization goes, they are the gold standard IMO. The rM platform is an excellent system with finely crafted devices, and a UI that emphasizes usability. You just have to be a user that can be productive with the tools offered. If you can, the rM system is an excellent choice. If you can't... Thanks for sharing.
I just noticed it looks like there is more ghosting on the Manta. Does that jive with real life?
That does. A lot of people are noticing that so I'm gonna do a video ASAP documenting it, or discrediting it, depending on how it shakes out. I'm taking format suggestions in a poll I'm about to put out to the members. That's that new camera with 4k 10bit 4.2.2. Resolution you seeing there. Spotting ghosting from a mile away 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍊
Gestures require super-simultanaity.
What you just said🤣🤣 Now I gotta look that crap up! Thx Mr. Mike 🙄
Dude, when are you going to acknowledge that you are the problem, not the gestures? I was rolling though. You do need a voiceover for. The gesture hammer. The Roderick vs. Artsy Rod was my favorite. Good list.
@@Change-1820 I have to agree Ed. You can either have palm rejection with reasonable gestures, or you can have no palm rejection and willy nilly gestures anywhere on the screen. Palm rejection precludes the use of gestures in the rejected area. At least that's my opinion of why this happens and it seems perfectly logical. But I still love Rod, quirks and all.
@VidMashUp absolutely, Rod is awesome. To me, the gestures are just second nature and work really well. I enjoy when he jumps into his rants on gestures, even if it is completely out of touch... Lol
Thanks Ed. I mean I kinda admitted that I was the issue. It's just keeps coming for me 😂🤣
Okay, okay, I admit I'm a bit delusional and extreme... But out of touch? That's where I draw that line! 😂😺 HAPPY HOLIDAYS GENTS! 🎄☃️
Wait I just saw all the likes on this post Am I the problem? 🫠(delusion sets in)🫠 Nah, the Supernote has it out for me.
Still personally prefer all smaller tablets over the bigger size ones. They have more mobile use and easier to use on the go. I guess it all depends on your professions or use case.
I agree, and I'll be making a video about the benefits of smaller devices as well. A video package deal, if you will :) Thanks for sharing.
That is a semi-valid opinion. It depends on your use case. 10.3 is very much medium size. I would consider the 13.3" to be unwieldy. I love all sizes however. It's not the size that matters. It's how you use it.
@@VidMashUp I had bigger devices and they are not for me at all. I can not easily hold a bigger tablet in one hand while writing with other while standing and walking. The A6, 8" samsung and iPads all are better suited for my needs of on the go computing. If I need to sit down I use my laptop.
Your vids are informative and blend levity in a creative way. Thank you sir.
Thank you, for the comment and for putting me in a position to have to learn a new word, lol. Yw :)
He is funny. He also has great hands.
Creative levity could be called crevity.
@@VidMashUp I was thinking the same thing.
13:45 Also, their keyboard innovation is underrated
Agreed! I wish I was more of a typer to A) Take advantage of those features. B) to make videos on it. They really are, not just good, but implemented smartly.
Is that the larger pen loop? Would using the larger loop make a difference?
The device comes with Lg, Med, and Sm loops. The Largest one comes attached to the device. I was using the largest one it comes with. Thanks for the comment, that's a fact definitely worth making known.
Hmmm... but if you are using the device isn't the pen going to be in your hand and the loop issue not a problem.🤪
Okay, just hear me out, Dan. What if, My cap is still in the loop? Or if I just wanna control the device with me fingers while I read? I mean I'd never use a Supernote device that way, cause I'm not a glutton for punishment (touch input is lacking), but just saying.
if you like to read novels and e ink friendly comics like manga - the boox 10.3 go is perfect. I've used kobo (also great) and the boox was one step up due to android, while still having access to not only my kobo library, but kindle, google play books, all the android manga subscription apps. and the library (libby) of course. It's near perfect. I really like the white bezels too
It's an awesome device, and my pick for Device of the year, for eInk. I cant recommend that device highly enough.
Mmmmm there in lies my confusion. I’m confusing 🌖 with a 🍊😂
@@TheKurtLyon gotta be careful Kurt. Don't let the orange fool you. I can't wait to get this shirt now, lol.
We are talking about a premium notetaking device which cannot offer proper notetaking experience. Yet this company put 450 dollars price tag on that device. It is like making a car with misfiring engine.
Lol. That's a novel take, and I like it. I think it'll get to where it needs to be.🤞🏾
This is absolutely the best review so far about note 4c. I was about to buy it but it is better to wait little bit I believe . Thank You for saving my money 😊
I released an update shortly after that where they fixed the crashing. The stability is yet to be seen though. Doing more testing after they released the newest update recently. See what happens. Stay tuned.
After this video of yours, on my Note Air3C, I noticed that Boox in addition to Thumbnails and Tags, has add "Outline" as well. Check that. It is great. You can add outlines and sub outlines and sub sub outlines, ... :)
Indeed. I'll have to make an updated video displaying some of those new features. Thanks for sharing
no light no go....fail
Whaaaa? Really? That's not the Manta's fault. You sir should definitely look at some of the awesome eInk offerings with a front light. The Go 10.3 is my pick of 2024. Give it a look.
Meh... does not come in Orange🍊. Regardless, send the ❤️
Someones gonna make an orange one, one day just based of all the orange talk we do on the lives and comments. AI gonna be all confused, lol.
I'm always glad you upload the live streams for when I can't be here! Question about the new supernote lamy. You know how theres a sensitivity difference between the "legit" sn ceramic nibs and our fancy lamys? Does the new lamy do it as well?
No, the Supernote/LAMY Collaborations (Safari Vista, and the OG Vista) writes just like a Supernote pen. I think that's the collaboration aspect of this. LAMY design, SN nib, and programming. Oh and glad you're able to catch the recaps :)
they just release a 4.0 firmware for the note air 3c but its beta i think
im updating right now, i suppose its this 4.0
That's exciting. Is it exactly the same as the NA4C? I wanna know, lol.
Great stream! Sorry I had to cut out early. They were way out of line on Kit, 100 percent. I know he sometimes repurposes content, as we all do. I also know that he spends a lot of time and intention in trying to produce his videos. You are also right that until you have produced content on here, it is very hard to understand how much work is involved, I know I was amazed. On the Indiana shirt, there is no rush, I am going to buy one of your black Rants About Tech shirts once the are available.
No worries, man. It's always good to see you whenever you can drop in.
As silly as I am with my kit comments, it's never some sort of personal attack against him. It's my opinion on the type of content, absolutely not his work and dedication. Content creation is a lot of work! I've been there done that and stopped because of the work and lack of respect I got for it. I'm honestly seeing way too many straight up mean posts about him and other creators recently and bc of that, my lips are sealed.
@@TheKatieCakez I think this nails it. A difference with someone on the type and style of content is one thing, but to attack work ethic is ridiculous. I have been on the receiving end and I know Kit doesn't need me coming to his defense, but I couldn't help myself. 😁
@@Change-1820 people have gotten incredibly rude and entitled when it comes to content creators and small businesses in the last few months. I can barely go on reddit anymore bc all of the forums I follow are 90% "why hasn't my order shipped? This company is a piece of shit for not sending me my stuff within 3 days!" We seriously need more positivity in this world!
@TheKatieCakez lol, but I enjoy your (kit) comments though :(
Much easier with stylus that allow you to press a button on the pen or flip it around or tap the pen twice to change inputs. But it’s nice for those who prefer this method
Indeed. I also prefer the button.
Just saying that maybe the criteria for gestures to work may be for you not to be involved. Did you see how smooth Pixel Leaves used them? I guess since you couldn't get your to work, you now need a chat hammer too? Great stream buddy.
She's too good bro... Too good 😊
O vídeo ficou excelente. Obrigada
You're welcome. :)
I left at 84 min to go office and I see you went over 3 hours what a Rant Rod ,
LMAO! Yea man the chat was like, "Keep going" >.<
Was this your first HOM2?
Yup the first one. Broke on day one too :(
@@rantsabouttechnology😮 noooo
@@TheKurtLyon yup
This is the BEST Samurai Pen short I have ever seen!
You said it brotha!! 🤣
Can you sell to my one of these devices plz .. these are my wishes??
@@shayo757 Already sold mine :(
Great, video, I've inspected my Manta carefully as well. The pen loop is the bigger one. Like you, I can't wait to do more writing on my new Manta. Loaded a few templates by re-sizing my nomad ones for 5mm, 6mm and 7mm lined templates.
Hello, I talked about this comment on my Livestream today, thanks for sharing. I wanna try some templates of my own as well, thanks for the lines pages template idea, hadn't thought of that. Oh and Thanks for your support of the channel :)
@ I use the smaller lined templates for Nomad to fit more into the page and I got used to writing smaller so I find 8mm rows too wide. Love your channel and Ed's. Keep up with the good work! Your tech gear is looking real flash.
Nailed it!
BEST YT SHORT EVA!
Word! :)
Thats the schedule for Manta below
Thanks B M
I mised the again, but this is definitely one of the greatest shows on earth!!!!!
lol, thanks bro, we had a ball today. Tomorrow will be fun as well :)
Love your videos btw 🔥
Thanks man!
Would you recommend this to an engineering student. Also between the a5x2 and boox go 10.3, which one would you recommend
For pure note-taking, second brain stuff I'd use the Supernote. If you want an all-around device then the 10.3 is your device. For engineering... Buy both lol.
@@rantsabouttechnology I'm too broke for that 😓, but I'll probably get the super note
What is the difference between the WORD function and the NOTE function on the Supernote? Which one is better and more reliable?
Word functionality is mostly for typed documents, and it's good for that. The notes app is all about handwriting imo. Hope this helps
@@rantsabouttechnology Many thanks. This is very helpful.
Can you use a MicroSD Card on it like the Nomad?
Yup!
@@rantsabouttechnology Thx 😁
thx for the tips, as a first eInk device user, I find it very helpful. curious to have your input about sharing the txt/pdf docs in google drive for example...
Yw. You can share to your Google drive natively from the device since you can just download the drive app to the device. Plus their integration With drive is really good for exporting. With Google AI you can do some cool things with this. Video coming. Hope this helps.
well, this changes everything.
Indeed. I released an update where they fixed the crashes, but not the sluggishness.
