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 ...

    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.

    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

      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.

      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.
