For work, as a manager I had 5 different notebooks, a paper to-do template, and a dry erase board as my only way of managing meetings, notes, and "to-do's". While I am still exploring all of the superb options my Supernote Manta has, it has SIGNIFICANTLY improved my work efficiency. I made a table to contents with links to the different notebooks, and the STAR method has helped me to find and NOT forget to-do items from meetings to add it to my list. Furthermore, I can have ALL of my notebooks with me at ALL times in one small, compact little tablet.
A major surprise is that my absolutely HORRIBLE handwriting is actually legible on the Manta, whereas my paper notebooks are nearly illegible, even to me. Turns out I need the most super thin needle point (0.1) option to write well. The thinnest pen for actual paper I have is 0.25mm. and the difference is NOTICEABLE.
I do have the Heart of Metal 2 pen, and I LOVE it. However, I have always loved the heavier metal pens vs. a cheap BIC.
This is also my very first E-Ink tablet. "Pixel Leaves" Basic Settings and Beginners Guides on YouTube were absolutely invaluable.
The Manta met my expectations and after a couple of weeks became far more useful to me than I had anticipated! One of the best luxury purchases I have made which quickly became an item of necessity! Incredible device!
I was particularly looking for a small form factor note book I have been using a Remarkable for a number of years which is great but often found the size a issue in my workspace the supernte is a much more comfortable size. As to usability the Supernote takes a bit of getting used to but all of the functionality is there once you get used to it. It us not quite as Intuitive as the Remarkable but is lighter and smaller. I personally would like a backlight as I often work in badly lit environs where the screen becomes more difficult to read. If this becomes an upgrade I would definitely buy it. All in all this has been a good move for me:)
I bought this a few months ago as my first e-ink device outside of a loaned-kindle and was BLOWN AWAY with how enjoyable it is to use. I have done much more art and writing since getting it, plus it's been an easy reading device as well.
Drawing on it feels smooth and tactile, the latency is so low that it is nearly indistinguishable from real-time writing with a pen and paper, and it's a great size.
My favorite thing is how development of Supernote products are user-informed-- I know that even though the device is a bit of an investment, I'm not being locked into a subscription for features (looking at you, reMarkable!), and new things are being added to improve the experience all the time.
I can't stop telling my friends about it and I am utterly obsessed. I wish I could give a billion stars. Thank you Supernote team, please continue to provide the amazing service, development, and ethics you do! It's increasingly rare to find a company with such strong values <3
This tool has absolutely supercharged my note taking in meetings, work and building apps. Would recommend this to everyone and shout it from the rooftops if i need too😁
