If I had known how convenient something like this would have been for grad school, I would have purchased one a LONG time ago. It is light with a simple interface, and best of all: makes my work easier. Though I use it more as an e-reader, I take notes on everything. The ease of writing is unmatched (though I’ve noticed that colder temperatures make it less responsive).
this pen has worked the most consistently of any of the Supernote pens I have purchased
Incredible! Worth every penny. This is just what I needed. The fact there is no backlight is such a bonus and it writes soooo nicely. I love the fact no color too. Its awesome. I use it in court, meeting, personal writing, drafting letters. I love it.
Love everything about my Supernote....just need to keep learning everything that it can do!!!!
As an avid analog writer, the way Supernote has helped me shift to digital writing is seamless. I get to keep writing the way I used to, just minus the color. It gave me a way to update entries in all my notebooks because the Nomad is with me all the time. Just like the movie "Everything Everywhere All at Once," whenever a thought strikes me, I can immediately write it down because I have the Nomad which houses all my notebooks – office planner, meeting notes, personal journal, book reviews, cookbook, journal prompts, daily stoic, memoir draft, and so much more. The Supernote Team is also very supportive and their level of care is priceless in this day and age of rapid technology and fast consumerism.
Definitely glad I chose the SuperNote. I was looking for the smaller form factor. Used a Rocketbook for years but often used traditional paper due to the type of pen and having to scan and wipe it down all the time. With the SuperNote on my desk, I don’t have that same urge to “grab a notepad” and I use it for all my notes and To-Do
I have been really enjoying this device, the sync function works wonderfully to load articles and books, the handwriting recognition is excellent and it has exactly the right amount of connectivity to be useful without being distracting. Very confortable to hold and I’m never worried about fragility.
Have loved my A5X for a couple of years, was concerned the Manta may not be enough of an upgrade.... but I'm so happy with the Manta! Much thinner, better looking, much improved "feel" on the page... faster, upgradable... Love it!
I just got a Nomad for my mother for her birthday after I've been using my AX5 daily for just over 2 years now. I've been using mine for both professional and personal reasons from taking notes on phone calls, marking up PDFs that need editing, organizing my calendar, personal journaling, and reading my ePub and odd book collection. My mother's been using her new device for taking notes at doctors offices, journaling, her calendar, and also taking notes on phone calls. The fact that you don't need a subscription to use these devices, the pen tips don't need replacing, and the distraction free lack of apps makes this my favorite piece of technology to use. I cannot recommend these devices enough.
This is my first dive into the world of e-ink tablet. After hours of research and a big endorsement from my CEO, I decided to get the SuperNote Manta. The learning curve wasn’t as steep as I thought and it has allowed me to be as organized as ever. I use this mostly as a note taker for work and I love every bit of it. It’s so easy to organize your thoughts and plan for the day. I also get complimented daily on how sleek it looks. I’ve had it for over a month and I’m still learning new things about it. Excited to get tons of use out of this thing!
Awesome, having used an iPad for notes for sometime, this is a big improvement. The only thing missing is a ceramic nib pen with a button.
I've tried a 3 or 4 different pens for my Supernote, and they're all okay. But the truth is that the best pen is the ceramic nib that Supernote designed for their notebooks. It just gives the best writing experience. However, my favorite regular pen is the PaperMate Profile, so finding that I could retrofit one of those was a game changer. Changing it out is easy once you get the parts. Smooth writing experience plus my favorite pen equals win win.
I use this as my digital sketchbook since I love to draw wherever I go and now don’t have to carry around all my art supplies. I also use it to start my work then transfer it to a drawing tablet to add color. 10/10 recommend. Idkenzi_art is my insta if you want to see what the drawings look like on it. I had a hard time finding art done on it to see if I’d be interested to get it.
I love that it does exactly as advertised, can be customized to hold more storage, it is the exact great quality build that I saw on its website. The most satisfying aspect is both the paper like feel and the 'soft feel' writing surface. On a separate note, any time I try to write on an iPad's glassy surface, I don't spend more than 5 min doing so. With the Manta, I can do hours of note taking if needed, without frustration. I only wish that they could create a color tablet, because I'm trying to learn a new language (Japanese) and writing in different colors is essential for memorization. I also think that an AI chip is a great thing to integrate into the Supernote as it would help with proofreading, formatting, research etc. I'm giving it 5 stars still because the Manta is the exact quality I was hoping for, and I encourage others to give this device a try.
My Supernote is my new gadget that I can't leave home without. I take notes on it, I create my lists, I read my books, I do all the things!
Roughly 45 days into use and love it...still learning new things every day and wish I had made the switch away from paper years ago. Huge help to my organization and ability to find client specific documents so much easier.
I love to take notes for myself during work, and this has 100% fulfilled my “moleskin” itch.
Although, the writing feel doesn’t match premium brands… it’s pretty good, especially at the price point. Plus, there are features they can’t beat. The Supernote holds a charge, and I love the focus on right to repair, sustainability, and modularity.
I would love if they made a version with a backlight, because then I could ditch my Kindle. And downsize the number of devices I carry.
