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!
