Great unboxing video! Nice editing as well, I really enjoyed it! I haven’t found the folio to be a problem yet, but I’m definitely gonna keep my eye on it. PS: don’t worry, my unboxing of the new Nomad set is still coming out today 😂
In your opinion, do you think there’s any issue reading and marking up pdfs on Supernote, reMarkable, or Boox? Which one, in your opinion, do you like best for viewing and marking up pdfs or do you think they’re equal in that regard? I’ve heard Supernote and Remarkable not so good for working on pdfs. However, I am a new reMarkable 2 user and taking notes on a pdf now and am not experiencing any issues. I don’t think there is one device that does or has everything someone wants. I hear the writing experience is best on Supernote, their pens are awesome, and you agree and for those reasons alone, I want the new Supernote Mantra A5 X2. The split screen capability Boox offers has me curious. And the new reMarkable Paper Pro is on my radar. Besides answering my questions above, if you could only have one, which one would you pick? The folio maybe a deal breaker for me.
So, for PDF viewing and annotating, the reMarkable Paper Pro will handle that beautifully. It's only if you decide to do more in depth work that the question becomes tricky. If I could only have one rn it would be the Go 10.3. My eInk device of the Year award winner. Still learning the Manta so hard to judge it just yet. Hope this helps.
To echo Vlad, definitely an instant classic unboxing the Ranta. Well done my friend and thank you for the shout out. The respect goes both ways, although I did enjoy watching the case work perfectly for you. And for the record Voja agrees with me 😎. I lost it when you went all harvest moon at 11am though, not sure you are sleeping enough. Production quality is off the charts.
I ship books around sometimes. The plastic means ... the box can sit on your stoop in torrential rain for three days and the item will live through it. :)
I would be interested in your evaluation of the anti-aliasing on the Manta? Is the writing as clean as it is on the recent Boox devices (e.g., Air 4C or Go 10.3) or is there any evident pixelation?
So far, from what I can tell. It all depends on the marker you use. Their default marker is designed to be a bit rough and pressure-sensitive. But the Needlepoint writes a lot smoother. I'll keep this in mind when I do my testing, thanks!
I still can’t understand why they didn’t release a new one with a button. I mean it makes us even cooler for having one that does - shout out to your skills. I’m surprised you like that you can hold it lower. Maybe it’s bc I’m a fountain pen collector, but i prefer the higher grip.
Yea, I think the fountain pen crowd is why the Supernote pens are designed with that high grip in mind. I may get into fountains now that I've become a pen snob 😂 Rn I prefer the lower grip cause I write so hard... it allows me to write even harder lol.
I was really excited for this release but the half-folio is really putting me off. Give me the option for a full gd case. The trendiness and the two fewer micrograms mean nothing to me. I want my light delicate $500 device to be protected.
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.
love the vids.. as always! keep up the good stuff
Thanks and appreciated!

Looking forward to your unboxing.

@@Change-1820 Thanks my friend. I do need some sleep 😴 🤣

Dude, Just the humidity alone would be damaging after 3 days, no? Not even including the rain.

Alternate title - Ranta unboxing 🤣 IFYKYK

Your videos keep getting better and better! Great work, thank you :))
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.
Can you use a MicroSD Card on it like the Nomad?
Yup!
@@rantsabouttechnology Thx 😁

You're like a kid at xmas with this one ;)
Absolutely, lol. I love this thing 😁
Agreed!! 2025, get rid of plastic wrap!
👏🏿

@@rantsabouttechnology oh God. Don't get into fountain pens. But if you do, you have to buy some of mine off of me. I need to thin the hoard.
OOuuuu. Deal! Pens with character, love it!
Oh snap. You reminded me i can use the angled connector for my computer ish.
Yup. I mean it's thoughtful of Ratta, but unnecessary with their top mounter port design.

Well put!
This video is all you need about the nomad. Love it!
Thanks man :)
@rantsabouttechnology i meant the manta 🤣 still sleepy here just woke up and watched your video
LOL

The lack of latching at the top and bottom is concerning… I do not like that.
Agreed!
Me neither
God damn. This guy is annoying...
Mission accomplished!🍊 LOL
@@rantsabouttechnology :)
@@geepeeone the thought has never crossed my mind that he's annoying
wow Ratta failed with this A5x2 I see why they delayed it after RM pro hit market first
@@rush48192 idk about "failed". Always room for improvement though. I know I'm liking the device alot.
