The manata has been a game changer for my organization. Every time I think of a feature I wish it had, I learn that it has it. Great tool that I already recommended to several friends and coworkers.
I like this one over the capped versions My original one the cap cracked and I cannot get it tight enough to hold the pen in place. This one solves that issue.
Supernote × LAMY Crystal Clear Thinking Special Set
I got the Manta and I really appreciate that it's size is close to 8x11.5 paper. I have used it to consolidate all my paper notebooks to one. So much easier to find and much more compact. I also use it a great deal in my work on the road with instrumentation & control, sketching diagrams, electrical, and such which is not intuitive or bulky to do on a PC or on paper but which can then not be edited. I do not like using a iPad for this, but love using the Supernote. The feel is great, and no extra forced apps or accounts. The pen writes exactly where you put it so it's very natural to use. Still learning new useful shortcuts and tools with it. Have not tried moving anything to a PC yet so can't talk about that. My wife also enjoys drawing on it (she is a bit of an artist) and has high praise for it. There are a few little things like no paint can fill or some transformations when you select something. Also the battery last a long time and USB C makes charging easy.
Con
only one and it's very small is the boot time when it's fully shut down (~30 sec)

- Continuous enhancement
Con’s
- I’d like better integration
I absolutely love my Supernote - it’s the first ‘writing’ device that can actually understand my scrawled handwriting and lets me search through it. All my family members and colleagues who’ve tried it also love it. I highly recommend it for note-taking, journalling, sketching/doodling and it can also run apps.
I requested a refund for my Manta. Nothing was wrong with the device ,it worked like a dream but my issue was portability. I provided my reason, included photos, and followed their instructions. The team was friendly, and the process was fast. Thank you, Supernote. I will be purchasing the Nomad instead.
