Being Technically challenged... I saw a friend with the Remarkable, and knew I wanted one... then I saw one of your reviews, and now have been a VERY happy Supernote A5X owner for about 2 months now. I can't begin to say how helpful your reviews have been for and old lady like me! And I can attest... I had some issues that the Supernote support team was stumped on, they had not seen my issue before! But for just ONE person, they got it fixed! 👍 The Supernote support team is what sold me on buying one, and they did not disappoint me at all!!!
Thank you for this and all your other videos! I’m a very happy Supernote A5X owner since a couple of weeks now, despite the fact that I’ve only known and wanted an rM2 for years beforehand. I’m beyond the moon happy and you are one of the main reasons behind my decision to go for it as my use case was 100% asking for an SN. Your videos are extremely helpful, fair and honest, I wholeheartedly appreciate them.
Totally agree with your final decision. Excellent analysis.
Your channel continues to be the go-to source for clear and complete info about these devices.
I just pre-ordered the Supernote A5X. Your detailed videos played a big part in making that decision. Thank you so much!
Awesome review thank you . I have preordered my SuperNote 5xa… so excited to get it soon (July 2022)
As always great in-depth video. I also particularly enjoyed the struggle with the Note Air 🤣
Thx for your advices ! Just ordered an A5x .. now, waiting for it.
Thank you very much for this helpful review!
This review appeared to be very objective and I felt the author did a very convincing job going over each device, pros and cons. Thanks.
This video helped me finally make up my mind. For my musical notes, I’m going to go with a super note. Been on the fence on what to get for weeks.
I am really grateful to Voja for the hard work. Yet again he saved a lot of the for me. Thank you!
As someone who chose the Supernote A5X I couldn’t be happier with this product. It has revolutionized my note taking and reading life.
Great video. Thank you!
Glad to see I chose a winner in the Supernote. A really impressive writing experience but it’s the customer support that really makes the difference.
Very well spoken: comprehensive, detailed, very fair, and therefore convincing. Congratulations!
Thank you :)
So glad you said Supernote, I bought one and think it's great!
These reviews are so helpful! I wanted to add a note about reliability of the A5X. Based on this video (and others) there's an impression that Supernote devices are amazingly reliable. While they're really useful devices that do a lot really well, the software is also currently very glitchy. (And I'm hardly the only one to observe this. The Supernote subreddit is full of people complaining about the erasing function randomly being switched on, sudden Zooming out of nowhere, strokes randomly disappearing, etc.) I have an A5X and like it a lot and would not advise against buying one, but I do think it's important not to misrepresent Supernote software as fully mature and 100% reliable. In daily use it feels quite beta-ish; it's useable, but the glitches and instances of unexpected behavior (especially when reading documents; the note function is more stable) are constant and potential buyers should be aware of that.
Glad you mentioned this. The A5X and Boox Lumi were on my 10.3" radar, where the A5X seemed like good value being much cheaper. However glitches and bugs have no place in a "productivity" device. Imagine working on a laptop that glitches while you work - it would be maddening. I'm sure it will get fixed, but i need reliability out of the box, not from future updates.
@@rubberonasphalt - I have to say that a lot of the glitchiness has disappeared after the most recent update. I'm just one user of course, and others may have different experiences, but for what it's worth: the sudden Zooming and strokes disappearing are no longer happening to me. The pen still sometimes randomly switches to eraser mode, which is weird, but on the whole the device feels a lot more stable and reliable.
Hey Voja! Great one, and I saw your NA3C review too and it's clear you really like that device. I also ordered the NA3C to replace my NA2P (using for notes and engineering design stuff, writing latency and screen distance are the main factors for me, but I could live without colors). But whenever I see and re-watch your videos on Supernote, I start thinking it would be the best choice still. So my question is: as of today, if you needed to pick only one, which one would be your preference? Supernote A5X or Boox NA3C? Thanks!
I started with a Boox Note Air last August and recently switched to the SuperNote A5X. Its a more purpose driven device and the distinguishes itself with unique features, durability and a great stylus. I wonder if Supernote can prove the value of maintaining a consistent hardware platform from a production standpoint, but attracting an evergrowing pool of purchasers based on the software value and focus.
Thanks for a great review and summary. As usual :) It is actually thanks to you, that you have 1. made me think that I need an e-ink device. 2. then realize that I actually do need it and 3. help choosing the best one for my use case. I started my journey by being initially attracted to RM2 looks and design, but limitations in functionality and additional paid subscription made it quickly clear that it is a no go. Next contender was Note Air - liked the sleek design, versatility of Android platform, tons of functionalities that come with it despite the complexity, the new Note Air 2 with much improved performance, etc. But what made it as a winner - your winter review and update on Supernote A5x - immense software upgrade of the platform without the need of tech/device upgrade, clear and open development roadmap, responsiveness from Rata (because, sure all companies are great, but the ones that deal with any kind of issues quickly and directly - are always the winners and are more to be trusted). And never spend ceramic nibs. So, you basically make a one time investment on device & pen & pholio - and just can keep on enjoying the device that is constantly improving without any additional expense and not just meeting the competition, but also taking it over. This became a no brainer for me and I am also a happy owner no of Supernote A5x now. :)
I find it funny that remarkable is basically free advertising for the other e-inks. I feel like most, including me only knew about the remarkable but upon research & helpful channels find remarkable holds itself back.
I have these three devices, and I think Voja's explanation and summary of them is excellent in this video.
Thank you :)
Hi, Great Review, you have explained most of the positives and negatives when buying these devices, and like many I have been caught up in the hype.
With the obvious covid restrictions I haven't bought any new devices in the last two years, but what I can tell you is I'm a vivid believer in the pen device, so it wasn't long before a new one was on the cards. I have bought everything from a Newton 130/2100 to MS Surface, I pad, Boogie board & a Aeus Eee Note 800, and the last device being the Remarkable (1st edition), so I know my way around E-ink.
I found that each device had something to offer, so when I finally got around to changing my Remarkable, I wanted something that would not be sitting on the shelf collecting dust like Rm 1, (as with button and nib issues aside) I'd hope the 2nd version would have fixed this, it didn't!
Which is why recently I have ordered a Super-note A5x, I just got the standard edition as like some. I'm still on the fence with this one being fairly new to the market. I have seen & read many of the reviews of this before I made my decision and I know that one of the key points making my decision was that the makers of this product listen to its users., and that they make they're updates to accommodate these.
As for my Super note, it hasn't arrived yet, but given the amount of reviews it's got, I'm sure I made the right decision.
Keep up the good work.
Hallo, danke, sehr informativ und nachvollziehbar. Daumen und Abo gehen klar.
Voja you mention only gestures and screen share are valuable updates for reMarkable, but you seemed to be very pleased with the feature update that allowed for inserting pages in PDFs without breaking links. Seemed like at least at the time the other devices didn't have that feature and it's a highly valuable one.
Yes, but it is not a complete feature, as its usability as inserting just blank pages without the ability to add templates to them severely hinders what is an otherwise an excellent update. So that one is an excellent step in the right direction, but it needs the templates functionality for it to actually be usable in the real world.
Thanks!
Hi, seeing all those beautiful guitars and basses in the background I'd like to ask: have you ever used e-ink note taking devices for music scoring? I mean taking notes of notes :))) Which one would you suggest? Thanks.
Hi Voya, will there be a review of the new Xiaomi Note? It looks impressive!
Very nice evaluation.
I'm also leaning towards getting SN A5X, Maybe you can help me a bit. My main purpose is to take notes and convert them to text. Hopefully I can write and convert to text using my word template. But if not, I hope I can take notes and convert to text efficiently and just cut and paste them to my report template. In your expert opinion, between RM2 and SN A5X has more capability doing this function. Thank you so much in advance.
I've had several issues with rM2, and so many others have too. If it wasn't for the insane price in EU I would for sure have not kept it and gotten Supernote A5X. I broke my rM2's screen by just holding it while plugging in the cable... Was devastated. Luckily they replaced it even though I got it over a year ago. To have to treat it like a sheet of ice is just shit design. Really wish I could move to Supernote. T_T
I had no idea rM2 had improved its battery.
I think under value you focused a bit too much on software. Otherwise great video.
Your videos convinced me to buy the A5X, the price tag initially made me very hesitant (around $700 Canadian) but I've never felt that I've made a better purchase.
Holy shit... Even if I was rich I'd not pay that.
700 CAD = 559USD
@@Nekotaku_TV Why not?
I just want to thank you for your fair reviews. They (and a couple of other review videos) also got me deciding for the A5X and I'm happy with my decision to no end. And, this video just makes my choice of getting the A5X more founded. Thanks again!
I would really love to see a comparison of the Ratta supernote A5X and the new Huawei Matepad paper which is available on Ali-Express for Canada btw. Though the price, before Canadian tariffs and taxes is 820$ with a current 20% discount. So I am really wondering if it is worth it at all compared to the A5X as it seemed so promising.
Also, how do you see the Xiaomi Moaan W7 compared to these? I daily drive that device and, while I think a huge amount of functionalities are lacking (not because the device doesn't have them, but because it is unable to execute them), I still think it is an okay product if you get it at a HUGE discount price like I did. (200$ - more than that would have been crazy for the device).
Haven't finished the video but I appreciate the upload and content. Thank you 😁
I've been a SN A5X fan (and also have the RM2)... but after owning the A5X for 15 months, I just noticed a dead raster line on my display. Supernote customer support basically said: hardware failure, and you're out of warranty. How common is this problem with A5X and eInks? Before this happened, I've been a big fan (and I also own iPad Pros, which I also use with pencil, but i love eInk for note taking). Now, I'm concerned this is a quality control issue that makes an eInk note taker a risky purchase. Thoughts on this issue? Do all the note takers have the same warranty duration, or do some others have longer ones to cover hardware issues? Have certain brands been more/less reliable?
7:40 That's not a software or device reliability problem, that's a _corporate_ reliability problem. There ought to be a consumer protection law requiring a roll back mode to factory default functionality (but with security patches as much as possible for egregious security defects).
Hello!
I would like to know if you plan to make a comparison between supernote and boox air 2. I have many doubts... and in a video of yours I saw that the air 2 had the best writing sensation. Could you help me make the best decision or at least know your opinion? thank you
I have a Kobo Aura2 as an ebook reader and it's just fine for reading. But now with all these new devices, I looked at various models and I feel like I need an upgrade. Reading is the main focus for me, but my daughter draws and paints a lot on paper, lots of stuff and she has quite a talent. I showed her these devices and tried to get a feeling if she needs a writing e-ink tablet for her needs. It turns out she would like to have such a device to be able to draw, erase, correct, and blend things. Since the budget is kind of the same, 500-550$, which one will seem to get a better use? Reading DRM ebook (epub, pdf) and drawing.
I used your channel. Bought a remarkable 2 and returned it for the a5x. LOVE the a5x. Love the everlasting pen. replacing nibs on remarkable 2 drove me nuts. too much added cost. a5x is more. precise as well. and the software updates are terrific. Best work tool I have ever bought. significant productivity boost.
Thanks so much for the detailed reviews. great channel
I find it worth it even with other pens. Huge fan of the staedtler digital pencil. Softer less clicky feel than the everlasting nib for me. All personal taste though!
Hey, liked the video and in general your channel helped me a lot with my decision to get an E ink tablet[note air 2]. I am wondering, how would you compare the 3 products if it was Note air 2 vs remarkable 2 vs the A5X?
We'll see after a year and a half. Note Air 2 has been out for only 6 months now, and as such doesn't offer enough data for a meaningful comparison.
Thanks Voya, informative as always. Any chance you can get your hands on a HUAWEI MatePad Paper to review?
Trying, but unable to establish contact with them, as of yet.
Can you try the new update of the bookeen notea ?? Thanks for this video ☺️
Preordered the a5x a month ago hope it was worth it
I'd like to suggest one correction: the Onyx Boox issue with forcing users to log in is _not_ happening if you do not register an account in the first place.
I did not, and my notes never disappeared, neither was I ever asked to register or log in during operation.
So the device is completely usable without a Boox account.
Thanks for your work.
@Mike Pagel - I have the Nova 3 and have never logged into my Boox account and I have also never had this issue with my notes disappearing. I like the look of the Supernote but they aren't currently available in the UK. I really like the 3.2 update on my Nova - especially the new folder and notebook designs - so cute - and the fact that I can sync all my google drive docs with my Nova is a massive benefit to me. I just wish I could sort out the hand writing to text ai. It gets all the words out of order - lol!!
Same. Zero issue with no boox account. Never a popup. On 3.2. Perhaps the behaviour should be demo’d if reporting such a thing, adding legitimacy. The boox experience is fantastic imo. Perfect software and hardware. Needs for nothing, except perhaps for the ability to quickly switch recent documents which seems to have been lost in 3.1. Otherwise it works solidly everyday. Kindle support is unique to this device too. It is the one to get
@@skaragianis - thanks for this - I was beginning to feel quite downhearted about Boox as a company, as well as the idea of ever buying from them again, after the recent issues some people have been talking about - but now I love my Nova again (what a twit I am?)
I fancied a Supernote but they seem to be unavailable in the UK atm.
@Of the Refrain so you're saying i can still get updates without having to create a boox account ? sounds like something i'm gonna do. i'm close to buying NA2, but wondering if I can store my books and notes locally on my device ?
But how would you get warranty on the product without registration with Boox ?
I ended up returning my Boox and got an RM2 and love it!
Be very careful with it.
@@Nekotaku_TV Sure will, doesn't seem any more fragile than my iPad though. Got a great case off amazon with a back strap for holding with one hand for cheap
@@RodneyClang Be very careful. I heard that you look at the Remarkable sternly, the screen will crack.
@@blitherithicus well good thing I smile at it when I use it
The supernote seems to be the best choice by far, but in terms of availability it does not shine. How do I get one in Germany?
Does Supernote A5X being plastic screen make it no-brainer in ease of carrying around as compared to Note Air2 ? My only fear is the glass-crack of the screen that happens on Note Air2 otherwise I like Note Air2. Any user experiences on screen fragility? Why couldn't Boox use Gorilla glass like tablets and smartphones ?
Hello, when can I test bigme? Thank you!
El supernote A5x. No hay día en que no me sienta complacido con esta tableta, es excelente.
Every time I learn a new Spanish word, an angel gets its wings.
Thanks for a great detailed reveiw as always. I'm trying to decide between the Supernote AX5 and the Note Air 2. I like the extended functionality and backlight of the Note Air 2 but the huge software updates and support from Ratta is invaluable. Would not have to worry about replacing my Note Air 2 with Note Air 3. What do you guys think?
What's your use case?
I ended up choosing the A5X between this exact choice. I do not regret it. It’s an amazing device for reading and taking notes on PDF. The lack of backlight isn’t an issue for me because I love the E-ink display.
@@jartay Mainly for note taking to replace paper notebooks, reading manga in a bigger screen than the 6" of a Kindle, casual sketching and probably lots of PDF reading and writing. Also for planning and stuff.
@@jartayThat's good to know thank you. I was wondering though, does it handle the PDF files fluently? Can I scroll and move quickly through them?
@@ArduinoForBeginners it's hard to say then, I believe for sketching the best option is the remarkable; AT THE MOMENT but looking at the Trello from the supernote creators they are currently making things like brushes. I don't have experience with the boox but I know the supernote pdf reader is implemented without much issue and you can draw straight onto the pdf
I am very happy with note air 2. I did not upgrade and never login in. I have android 11 and out of the box is nice enough. BUT you are right. And I think they are not working on improve the devices at all. Just small things. Maybe they are bussy working in the next product hahahaha.
Just ordered my A5X. I know the A5X2 is right around the corner but supposedly it is only replaceable battery and other sustainability stuff, not a performance upgrade.
Video covers every aspect in detail.
However, there is no mention of the issues with supernote pens - both standard and HOM. There are a lot of comments on Reddit and Facebook regarding hardware quality of the pens. One of the selling point for supernote pens is never replacement nib, which holds true. However apart from nib, there have been many incidences reported about standard pen’s cap and HOM pen’s ghost phenomenon. These things don’t really make the pens last long enough to save the long term cost.
I am not sure if all users face this issue and my comment is based on my research only. Happy to hear other’s comments. It will help me as well - I am a potential buyer
GREAT! I think, you are the only tester, who talks about everyday use and durability.
Did you do a similar summary for 13'' tablets?
Thank you :) No I haven't, simply because I don't have those devices.
@@MyDeepGuide You seem to be a musician. Do you use one device for sheet-music? That would be my main use. Primarly scanned PDFs.
I normally use my Boox tablet for that, but I don't have the need to flip pages, as I only use sheet-music while learning a new song, or checking out a riff. However Boox does sell a Bluetooth page flipper device that you might be interested in checking out on their site in the accessories section.
@@MyDeepGuide Thank you. I don't need to flip pages. Use it - like you - for studying. More important is handy annotation.
Thank you for your sincerely rewies.
But which has the best writing experience? That's what i am interested in---really more for sketching on the go. Quality of the writing/drawing experience (with pencil or brush) is what's important for me. Even if the software is limited or lacking, I can adapt around those limitations. Otherwise i can do everything else on my phone or ipad.
For that you should watch the video that compares e note taking devices on my channel. This is a comparison of the "big three" how they stack up after 18 months.
Excellent video, very thorough with lots of useful information. Basically I made up my mind not to get Remarkable 2 ;)
Thank you!
Can you do a quick update on remarkable? I noticed the move tool is way snappier and I suspect the whole refresh might be faster
Every update issued on the Remarkable has been covered and reviewed.
Did you have the chance to test the Fujitsu Quaderno A5 gen2?
Nope, not yet.
I just liked the video and didn't even watch yet.
Can't wait for my Supernote to arrive some time in an alternate future where the H bomb didn't ruin my plans...
Hi, Voya I am just waiting Rata to come up with a bigger device!
I already have a Boox one and I got the same felling when they started launching versions 2 of recently released products and whe know that they already had goo specs. These other brands had to come with some correct firmware upgrade. Just like that. About Remarkable I gave up on them since the very beginning! On the other hand if Books continue this way they are doomed to ....
Thank you once more. Prosperity.
On the subreddit, Ratta announced an A4 launch with 2023 Q4 ETA.
Hello
How would you compare note air 2 plus with the other two?
I can recommend that you watch this video for an objective comparison:

"No, you stay down!" 😂
Thank you :)
I was about to buy a Boox Lumi when I suddenly heard of update 3.2. I wish Supernote came in a bigger variant... Sticking to my paper notebook...
Honestly if you buy the recent products you shouldn't feel anything bad about them, I think mydeepguide fully understandably is genuinely annoyed by the 3.2 update, but as it comes to new devices I haven't encountered anything bad at all with my note air 2, The only worry I have is how quickly the note air 3 will come out and will the same lack of care for older models will continue in the company as things move forward. Hopefully not, But I realize how sucks it is to be a note air 1 user that experienced the shift towards 3.2.
@@guybejerano9861 The instability and disappearing notes have been reported on the Note Air 2 as well. So yes, it's a newer android version and better latency, but I really care more about how reliable it is, and I intend to keep it mostly offline, so...
And they've just removed all text from the menu icons? Like why?
I still use both paper notebook but like the idea of holding all my books in 1 hand :)
@@supertetramethylcyclohexan39 I like the idea of sorting all my notes and sketches on a digital device instead of the mess in my drawer, and deleting instead of shredding and recycling and stuff... but for this money, the implementation is disappointing
@@5idi yes, it is indeed pricey. A tablet for much cheaper also works well. It is indeed an investment for a long time. Ive made up my mind to be contented with this no matter what other devices come in the future. It will take a long time for eink to go as cheap as normal tablets.
I do have a very nice set of journaling materials. Pens, books, cases, everything
I have one main question: Why does the Supernote A5x come in first place for you almost in every category (except for the battery), but your daily driver is then the Note Air?😄
Because I am looking at these devices objectively, not subjectively :) For my personal and professional needs, Note Air has functionalities that I absolutely need, that Supernote doesn't have, yet. It's getting closer, but for now Note Air is still my daily driver.
@@MyDeepGuide Thanks, now I understand. Of course subjective needs has nothing to do in the video. But may I ask here which functionalities for your personal/professional needs would that be for example? From a purely subjective point of view of course. 😉
Being able to add a page to PDFs now is great with Remarkable 2. Other than that....not much I use that is new from when I bought it.
Yeah, it is a great update, but it desperately needs the templates functionality added to make it fully usable. As it is now, it's very limited with just blank pages :)
@@MyDeepGuide That is very true.
with the supernote being around the same price as an iPad, why is the supernote the way to go? I’m asking because I am going back and forth on which it buy
Well, these are completely different devices, so there is no point in comparing them. If you are deciding between an eNote device and an iPad then you probably don't want or need an eNote device.
Thanks! Just I like to buy an ereader... But I am in a doubt... I Would like some one as the Nova air C (the color is great, but it is a little small, hower great to carry in my pocket), or an option 10.3 as thees devices... or giant as the Max lumi, to writte easy, too... (🤔 I don't know what to do... not yet) I am a litle crazy...
Then Super Note is the winner!!
"Just I like to buy an ereader."
If that's the case, you're looking at the wrong devices with these reviews. Ereader is for reading. These are for writing. If you only want reading, you have countless cheaper, yet quality options.
What do you think about buying a supernote now, when there are no new launches of hardware? Should I wait?
Well, I would advise that you check one of my recent videos, I think it was published on Dec 31st, where I list my favorite device (my personal favorites of the year) and I believe that you'll get your answer :)
@@MyDeepGuide thank you!! You do your work very well, and I ended up buying an a6x based in part on your advise, I am excited we will see how it goes!
Of course, it is Supernote A5X!!
Good job. I suggest just giving Ratta and Remarkable a tie score for latency. The fact that Remarkable is one millisecond faster can have no practical effect on anyone's usage of the devices. Whatever the threshold of perception and impact may be, one millisecond is below that threshold. Now, what is going on with that cat?
Agreed :) Lucy Blue is sleepy there, but wanted to be a participate, so, some cuddles were necessary to make her feel comfy enough to go back to sleep :)
EDIT: Ah, no cat in this video! Sorry, I'm all over the place, and have a tough time keeping in check what's what :) I might make a video with Indy and Lucy Blue, and see if internet decides to destroy me or not :P
@@MyDeepGuide You have my vote for a cat video.
Thanks for Your non partiality. Keep it going
Please review XP - pen note Plus
Is standby something SN could improve with an update?
Yupps, in theory. It depends on how far they've already pushed the standby optimizations.
Good
Remarkable 1 is superior to 2, IMHO. The physical buttons ROCK! I own two, just to be sure I always have one.
I like it more too. I like it's weight, love it's writing feel a lot more than the RM2, and buttons are great, but I wish the platform would allow for upside down, to flip the device and have the buttons up, instead of down.
Is the SupernoteA6x as good as the A5x? I dont like the big devices, and I wanted it to double as a norma e-reader.
It's the exact same device, just in a smaller format.
@@MyDeepGuide Thanks! I'll rewatch your videos again to refresh my memory, I'm in a dire need one of these for works reasons.
After reading about the SN and its depth of features, I knew it wasn't a "dead" device like the Good e-Reader guys keep saying. C'mon, man!
Yeah, they don't have the best reputation in several areas.
Had air first gen, one day backstreet glass just broke, without any premise
👍👍
You said you would do an in-depth review of the writing experience in the Boox Max Lumi 2… Where is it??? The handwriting to text function on this tablet is horrendous … maybe if you make some noise the company will address it. This is the only reason I bought this thing and I’m really dissapointed…
Have you watched the Max Lumi 2 in-depth review? These things are mentioned there. The conversion to text has took a bad hit towards worse since the OS 3.2 update, and this is true for all Boox devices, and this has been mentioned in several videos, so yeah, I've made them and the users plenty aware. May I ask why you found it adequate to post this comment here and not in the Max Lumi 2 review video? Either way, I definitely didn't recommend the Max Lumi 2 device, as it has a lot of negative points.
Why don't you demonstrate the devices in use?
Because, as very clearly mentioned in the video, each device has been reviewed in depth and for those interested, you can find specifics for each device in those in-depth review videos.
Not being able to use the device completely offline without requiring to login online to the Boox account every so often has put me off buying a note air. That is a deal breaker for me!
Huawei matepad paper????
Could you maybe elaborate the question so that we can understand what you mean?
I hate the sw/fw part of Boox. Otherwise the Air is a nice device.
Yeah, they just can't seem to get it streamlined. They are trying, and some aspects have been improved, but overall, it feels like someone emptying all of the suitcases in one pile all at once, and then you try to find a specific thing, like a pair of socks or a toothbrush, you just start rummaging around the pile hoping to find it. At least that's how it feels for me. But, it's the only E-Ink device that allows me to do all of the things I need to do for my work, so I persevere.
@@MyDeepGuide I’am still vanilla early bird Air1. Would like to have a vector export but I’m afraid to update and wait longer. Also I’m using a iPad now and the Air sleeps since month.
I use the reMarkable 2 myself, and while I appreciate your thorough review, my reMarkable has been very robust. I carry it in a briefcase with other devices and a laptop, and once even dropped it about 3 feet, no damage. I find it to be a very sturdy piece of hardware!
That is great to hear. As I mentioned, mine has been flawless as well, but that doesn't mean that we're supposed to just ignore all of the cases where people had issues with it's reliability and who had problems with it.
@@MyDeepGuideagreed! I truly value that you have been able to use so many and help all of us make educated buying decisions. Also felt people should know those problematic cases are few. Thank you for your open and honest reviews. You played a big part in my decision to purchase a reMarkable 2.
@Rob Thomas I am glad if my work helped :) As for the problematic cases, if you go to the Remarkable users FB group and scroll a little, you will see how often people have these issues. So they are not just a few, it's actually more than what would be considered normal. It's that aspect that puts the reliability of the Remarkable 2 into the bad category. The sad thing is that Remarkable 1 was and still is way more reliable than the Remarkable 2, simply because RM2 design, as beautiful as it is, is very fragile.
Thank you for your videos! They helped me a lot... I buyed the Note Air 2 and I'm quite happy. But there ist one thing, that really, really, really bothers me a lot:
If you organize your e-Books in Folders and Subfolders (e.g. Author/Author Name/Title.epub or Series/Serie/Title.epub) (sent to the Device via Calibre) and use the File-Date-Sort Option in the Library-View (I like to see the newest uploaded Books first) then the Order of the Books is completely messed up.
So there is no way to organize your files in Folders (to find collections) AND have a Time-Sorted View in the Library-View.
The only solution for me so far: Throwing all the books in one Folder, without subfolders and using Calibre-Companion for collections, authors and so on.
The second thing: In the Ko-Reader, its possible to write a text, double tap on it and its converted to "real text". Thats really a wonderful thing to have. But the same function is not possible in the Notes - App. Also quite a bummer...
the supernote is just WAY too expensive
Dislike! No cats! ;) But yes I don't want to use the RM2 for fear of breaking it. So the Supernote although the screen is weird, it's my go to writing tablet.
How is the screen weird?
@@Nekotaku_TV It's smooth, there is a gel film over the screen but if you've used the RM2 before then the sensation is weird. Not many people like the surface of the Supernote. But I've gotten used to it.
We do need more cat appearances in the Voja videos.
@@Trueo9re I don't get the impression from the Supernote group on Reddit that "not many people like the surface of the Supernote." Anyway, I like it just fine.
@@blitherithicus Not many have gone from an RM2 to a Supernote though. If you're used to the rough feel of the RM2 then move over to the Supernote the surface is a different experience.
Money is the root of degradation.
And yet.... "Extended Functionality" as a category should consider that only one of these devices (Note Air 1) is also an android tablet with all of the relevant additions that isolate the other two as "only" note taking devices.
Hence, the title of the video and the premise of the comparison.
of course you have to log in. So they can send your data to China.
One more reason not to have a cat! ;)
you talk too much
Ok, thanks for sharing.
You know really you should stop just showing your face and speaking but even showing the tabs a bit more as it gets kinda boring afterwards .
My channel, my face, my choice. You don't like it, well click away and don't let the door hit you on your way out :)
Honestly such a rude comment, is it really that difficult to behave like a human being, I get it life sucks sometimes but this is some unconscious retarded behavior man.
@@MyDeepGuide haha this is great. Keep doing what you're doing Voya - your videos are awesome.
I think your videos are really great and am very grateful for your help! As you say, he can go elsewhere and nobody will miss him.
Completely agree
Instead of launching like every single month new devices Boox should introduce functional updates and make their devices almost some steps forward. It's the bare minimum.
Supernote are pretty proactive re community inputs and timely tweaks to software to improve the service based on SN user needs
@@lorrenaelliott161 boox is ahead in enough features though that supernote still has much catching up to do. Unless ofc writing is is your main focus.
