Thanks for sharing this! Really cool to see behind the curtain on another channel. I hope you keep it up, I've been following your channel and seeing it grow. And of course I'm always happy to see people into the Supernote :)

That looks awesome!!!!!

Anyone else having the issue where the To do list doesn't update on the desktop app? I was looking forward to using it across platforms.

Great comparison of different use cases with you and your son. It's super useful. I've managed to sync my calendar with Google calendar now, which also update the calendar on my iOS devices. Need to try more export function. With the handwritten recognition, it will be great to see the convert to text function work a bit better, when I tried, the words don't wrap around, probably because of the number of words that fit into the Nomad. I have a Kobo Elipsa 2E and I really like to convert my handwriting to text and Word doc, so I am hoping that this gets better. I just got an additional pen - Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo which feels different, compared to my Heart of Metal 2 pen. Absolutely love them both.

I feel this is one of the videos that I need to study carefully because there are so many useful tips. Re "Export" function 17:41, I tried to recognise and export my notebook to Word (.docx) but it doesn't seem to work for some reason.

My observations: 1. The Glass screen is too brittle; too many consumer stories of having to return the device because it broke. I will stick with plastic screens. 2. It is now an A4 size, which is too large for me. Also, I believe that they chose that size to fit a bigger battery to keep the two-week battery life (Gallery 3 eats up more battery life). 3. Gallery 3 is much better than Kaleido, but I do not think it is ready for primetime. They need to improve the refresh rate, the power efficiency, and get rid of that quirk where black ink shows up on the stroke before the selected color. They need to put the black ink particle back in (you can currently get it by combining the cyan, magenta, and yellow particles). 4. Too restrictive; you can only synchronize to Remarkable servers and can only use their pens. I like Supernote's ability to synchronize to other online drives. 5. It looks like front light is possible without sacrificing distance to the ink surface; but is there any objective way to measure that?

Awesome video, Ed! I'm looking into this myself, and hearing someone I know, talk about it, brings something extra to the topic. I'm definitely going to go this route with a video as well. Thanks and congrats on the success!

I'd find it crazy if the A5X2 ended up being in color. Not that I think it will happen. But I'd absolutely upgrade from my A5X.

One thing you didn't mention is the other half of the income statement. I run my channel at a MAJOR loss. You will fare better as you don't as many devices as I do, but I still suspect the expenses are still greater than the revenue. But to your core point, it's the craft of making videos, the relationships we are making in the process, and indulging in a passion that is the actual return. The money just cuts into the losses.

Thanks for sharing Ed, have you considered applying for Amazon affiliates as well?

Thanks for sharing, this was fun! Yeah, I'm loving the group that's focused on videos around these devices. And yeah, it's important to recognise the reciprocity as you mention. (Careful with those analytics though, that's where the addiction lies! 😂 There's just something about the feedback loop you get when you release content and directly see the audience react on these wonderful little graphs RUclips gives us. It's the ultimate flow state for me!)

Not quite time for you to order that Porsche then, but maybe you could start with purchasing a Porsche key-ring?.... next month? 🙂 Thanks for the sneak view under the hood.

Great approach and initial review. Would love to see the Remarkable people to expand their sights into a greater distribution. They are in Best Buy and Amazon to a limited degree but further expanding those avenues might permit a reduction in pricing, which is currently high given what these devices do. That said I am waiting to receive the new Pro and we will see what we will see.

If I was to have only one e-ink device, it wouldn't be this. I do however use a Supernote A6x2 for notes and a Kindle for reading fiction, so the reMarkable will be for reading articles/reports in pdf format and non-fiction epub books, and for sketching out ideas. The colour display, bigger screen size and light is what makes it worth it for me.

10:59 Agreed. Being able to write on daily calendar is such a big miss!

Thank you for the video. One thing I do appreciate about reMarkable is their ability to bring awareness about such devices to the general public.

Oh, this looks awesome!

Good call out on how the Pro removes the side bezel. I was wondering if the screen was going to give more real estate width wise and was thinking that maybe not based on the comparison with the rM2, but adding the width of the bezel into that calc, perhaps it won't be as bad as I'm starting to fear.

Thanks for adding that tidbit about the device not having a Wacom layer (I had no idea). Now a lot of what I was seeing makes sense. Now to figure out how they did that front light without adding thickness. Good vid!

Great reflections! Mine is arriving on monday. The thing I am concerned about is the writing feel and the lack of option to tweak this with other pens or nibs. The thing very few reviewer talk about is that this is Linux OS (yes android is also based on linux) I am a linux user and the possibilities are endless with the linux kernel. The RM2 and the new one is accessible with ssh. On the RM2 you can install syncthing I believe, this solves a lot of the limitations for me.

I just bought Supernote Nomad and received it this week. It's beautiful. I had initial concern about the size as well but it's been more pleasant than I thought, as I've been using this to take meeting notes. Using this with the Heart of Metal 2 pen works well and I like the weight of the pen. I don't mind the softer screen as I normally write relatively hard, so I don't find it too grippy.

Thx for your work ❤

Isnt that the A6X2?

To be TRULY useful, you need to be able to go all-in with Outlook, Google, AND Apple calendars - all at the same time. I keep subject-level calendars on all three platforms, and aggregate them all to a single view - anything that can’t do that for me simply isn’t useable.

My A5X is only showing V2.1.0, and that's the latest available (August 23, 2024) Ratta's website. I "check for updates" and "You're up to date! supernote_partner 2.1.0 is currently the newest version available." ... ?

Had a deja vu moment and realised it was the same screen from your last video... Got really confused. I thought I missed a new video. I think title of video needs to change to suit or the video itself. Maybe reuse last video title and add [Short] or something.

That is a waste of 6 minutes, 3 of yours and 3 of mine, never to be regained. Please desist until you have something to say.

Great suggestions, I think screenshoting would be a feature I would use a lot if they implemented that

I agree with your points. One more I’d really like to see is for the calendar to be able to connect to multiple Outlook and Google calendars. I have several personal and work calendars, and to be able to see them combined on one device would be great.

I am definitely waiting for the a5xs to come out so they might possibly lower the price of the a6x2 😂

It is now September. We expect Ratta to release the much awaited A5X2 soon. I hope they give us some news about the A4X2 which we are also led to believe will become available this year. I worry that Ratta is a small company at the mercy of the manufacturers of their products, who have shown their willingness in the past to cancel or delay supply of key components thus causing surprise delays and termination of Ratta products. I think Ratta should have focused on the A4X2 before pouring all their resources into reintroducing an A5 product when they were forced to stop selling the A5x. I guess that they could not estimate the market demand for an A4 device and were not prepared to take the risk when they have had such good experience supplying the A5 size product such as the various Remarkable, Boox etc products already available.

Very much agree. There are quite a number of features that are half baked in the system. My personal list - have a one gesture/tap way to toggle between two notes or a note and a pdf - write on daily view in calendar - enable links in calendar and pdfs - improve keyword management and search (minor things to let us know what is there) - make sync stable when moving files and folders It feels ratta is responding to users on issues and questions, but not so much on features. It feels this was different 2 years ago.

Good valid points. Agreed with you. Workflow video would be helpful to see how people use their devices etc.

The Supernote is primarily a raw note capture device so it has to be very good at 1) creating notes quickly, 2) filing notes easily with flexible searching features and 3) sending those notes in a standardised readable format to popular repositories like Notion, Obsidian, OneNote/Teams/Sharepoint. The device is very good at 1 with a few glitches, very average at 2 especially with searching where it falls a bit short and below par at 3 with no real note integration with Notion or any of the MS repository apps. As a standalone notebook replacement it is an excellent device. However if it is used as one input channel of several, it is lacking in environments where information from different sources need to be stored in shared repositories. Individuals may buy the device. Companies would likely not purchase.

Thank you. The only thing holding me back from using the calendar is the inability to write on the daily view.

As I've often said, *_aesthetics tends towards fragility_* and I'd much rather a robust device I don't have to use with kid gloves that a work of art. Maybe people think I'm exaggerating when I say reading my bible every morning while taking notes on my A5X... well, maybe a month or so ago I put my Supernote down on my desk on top of a thick large print KJV which sat on one of my Ellicott Commentaries with another on the floor under it. Standing up the corner of the commentary on the desk caught in my pocket flipping the triple which landed Supernote first on the Commentary on the floor with a loud clap. Granted, the stack landed square but still, the Supernote works fine with no issues, I just can't see that happening with say the glass screen of a Boox device of which I have two, and they are both great devices. But my point is, as I begun... that I'd much prefer a robust device over aesthetics and peace rather than fretting about the fragility of the device I'm using. Great video by the way, and let's hope Ratta get it right, but at the end of the day they've gotta make a profit and that might mean pleasing more than us few.

As a daily user of the A5X I certainly agree that there needs to be UI consistency throughout formats, but foremost by giving PDFs and ePubs the same linking ability we see in notes. As yourself, I'd like to see Ratta finish off the sound foundation they have begun before adding anything new.

I saw a review of a Boox Palma and went to the Boox website - where I saw digital notepads for the first time. Wow. After digging into the different features & properties of Boox's competition, I think the A5 x2 would be best for me when it comes out. I have hand-written pages in multiple locations (desk, filing cabinet, underwear drawer). Finding specific ones can sometimes be a chore.

Nomad is good just to small for real note taking and they need to really fix the calendar setup so it is more like boox on a go device

Thanks for this post, as I've been researching the Supernote and deciding whether to get a device. The nomad version might be a bit too small for me so I am curious about the release date of A5X2 in Australia. I am also assessing whether I should get A6X2 or wait for A5X2.

Why would they keep it quiet ? Asking question. Thank you for the video.

I’m excited for Ratta, but a large part of the appeal of the A6X2 Nomad compared to my reMarkable 2 is the more convenient size. Time spent using the Nomad may change that, but for now I’m quite happy where I am…

I am waiting for the A5X2, it will be my 1st Supernote device. I hope the Polish language will be supported by recognition in near future. Thank you for the update.
