1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,439 so there were a bunch of comments on the remarkable paper pro video I did asking 2 00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,360 me to take a look at another eink tablet the supern note Manta and frankly I'm 3 00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:18,199 glad that you made me do it this thing seems pretty interesting it's kind of 4 00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:20,880 wacky it's a modular tablet it's 5 00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:25,279 repairable we'll get into that it's got funny kind of touch bars on the side 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,720 that we're going to take a look at and it's running a slightly more open 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,800 version of Android than you might see on some other eink tablets on the market 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,640 meaning you can side load things you can sync whatever you want that's exciting 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,680 and I'm also excited that this video is sponsored by Opera but we'll tell you 10 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,120 more about that later don't worry about it all right here we go uh we'll put 11 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:48,719 that there okay also in here 12 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,800 we we have oh it it's a screwdriver and 13 00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:56,800 I thought for a second that was a stylus but it's not and you can tell because I 14 00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:59,480 am not a pen screws for pen Loop 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,239 replacement why do we need pen Loop replacement oh are they different sizes 16 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,159 they're different sizes for different pens because one thing about this that I 17 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,240 was going to say later but I guess I'll say now is that the supernote will work 18 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:17,200 with a large variety of pens because it's unpowered it uses a ceramic bit 19 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,479 thing we'll get into it I promise I have to say this is the unboxing experience 20 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,400 with the most amount of things in here that I don't I don't even know what they 21 00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:30,320 are what what is this is this oh is this like a leather oh it says on it cutable 22 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,880 pen Loop okay so you got two other sizes 23 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,960 of the elastic ones and then you can make your own 24 00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:39,520 DIY that's the whole theme Here guys and 25 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,720 then of course the USBC cord in the Middle with a right angle connector you 26 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:48,439 love to see it one meter they're always one meter so obviously on the front here 27 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:55,399 we have the 10.7 in screen it's got a 1920x 2560 resolution or 300 PPI and for 28 00:01:53,439 --> 00:02:02,360 the E Inc enthusiasts out there this is a Carta 1300 uh display so just yeah I 29 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:07,880 know also on the front display we have these lines on the side which are touch 30 00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:13,720 sensitive on the top here we have the USBC port on the left side and a power 31 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:20,360 button on the right side uh in these little divots that uh supernote I guess 32 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,640 is saying that those evoke the the kind 33 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:27,000 of mandibles of the uh manta ray on the 34 00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:31,239 right side we got nothing except the the 35 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,440 uh aforementioned pen loop on the bottom 36 00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:36,879 another whole whack of nothing and on 37 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:43,200 the left side things get interesting we've got some pins for the attachments 38 00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:48,239 on the back though is where things get really juicy Okay so we've got these two 39 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:54,000 Torx screws that uh we can take out if we want to replace that pen Loop we've 40 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,879 got four rubberized feet which make it 41 00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,599 so that when you're drawing it's not going to move so much yeah it's got grip 42 00:02:59,239 --> 00:03:05,879 okay we'll do the folio we'll do the folio now I like their whole uh 43 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,239 aesthetic here it just makes me feel taken care of I like when a product when 44 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:14,080 you start using it and it's like hey we thought about these things all right we 45 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:19,120 got you that's how it feels opening up and seeing a thoughtfully designed panel 46 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:26,360 like this so you line those up with the holes and just click it 47 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:31,159 in oh not much of an audible click but 48 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,159 it goes in and that's 49 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:39,799 it's not coming off they only have the half folio and they don't have another 50 00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:45,879 option that could protect the back which you'd think that you would want uh given 51 00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:47,879 that you have this easily uh removable 52 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:51,760 panel which I haven't removed yet it is nice and thin and you're protecting your 53 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:57,200 screen but just be aware that there isn't a at least a first-party option 54 00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:00,280 for a full back protection as well pull 55 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,439 that in it okay well it's 56 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,120 solid and that was the half folio now 57 00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:09,360 before we get to anything else I want to see how you take the back off because 58 00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:13,480 that's the whole thing here okay the way that they do it in the video is they pop 59 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:18,880 up one side like so and then they kind of go along and they just kind of push 60 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:25,360 it in until it pops up yeah yeah there you go that then that takes the whole 61 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:29,320 thing off this module right here is the 62 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,199 S so so this is basically the you know 63 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:37,000 the computer that's inside this is the battery and then there's a Micro SD slot 64 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:41,919 here as well this thing comes with 32 gigs of storage which you know isn't a 65 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,759 ton in the year 2025 and you can expand it if you want so that's pretty DEC it 66 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:50,240 appears that there are these torque screws all around the edges of this uh 67 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:55,080 assembly that look like if you remove those you could take the screen out um 68 00:04:52,759 --> 00:05:00,240 because there are more specific screws for the S so module here three screws 69 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:04,800 holding the battery in and on this side it's held in by a little tab I can see 70 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:09,080 right now on their website they only have replacement parts for these so it's 71 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,320 not like you can go and get a bigger battery or a more powerful processor and 72 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:18,160 swap it in as of now maybe that'll change in the future regardless it's a 73 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:23,680 huge win to have a device like this on the market that is fully repairable and 74 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,280 like openable I feel like every time I use an eing tablet it's like somebody 75 00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,960 like you know deaking me out or something it's like oh it's turning on 76 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,080 and it's like but then it just does like a whole screen flash refresh and I'm 77 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:39,240 like oh what what's going on it's like ah no not yet okay A little touch little 78 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,280 touch pad here that you're not going to show cuz it'll reveal the password I 79 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:47,800 like how they've word this I am willing to 80 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:51,880 participate I'm not willing I like to see that this tablet basically has like 81 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,880 keyboard shortcuts without the keyboard you're going to be drawing something I 82 00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:02,160 didn't like that undo we'll see one finger slide down do 83 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:08,280 it oh and then tap to create a new note okay see a tutorial flash back to the 84 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:13,039 what was it big me ink note color it's like throwing me into the deep end full 85 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:16,520 of sharks and sea urchins no even clicking the home button won't take me 86 00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:22,080 away from offline books how do I just go back to the apps I don't know start 87 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:27,639 handwriting can I write with my finger no it knows it knows that I'm using my 88 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:35,720 finger and it's ashamed so this is the supernote pen never never wears out 89 00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:38,599 never surrenders 0.7 mm ultra fine nib 90 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:42,000 496 levels of pressure sensitivity which of course you got and it never needs to 91 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:46,400 be charged because as I said there's no battery inside and the nibs thing is 92 00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:50,960 interesting because you know the remarkable paper Pro other iing tablets 93 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:56,199 they have these replaceable nibs and you run out as they kind of degrade but this 94 00:06:53,639 --> 00:07:01,639 one and supernotes other pens that are usable with this thing use ceramic tips 95 00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:06,800 and they don't theg grade BTW in case you forgot Pen's mightier than the 96 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:11,960 sword so we've got some warnings here that uh you know tell you that it's got 97 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:18,919 a high hardness tip which is only suitable for the screen surface of this 98 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:24,599 tablet this exact model is the Lamy 99 00:07:18,919 --> 00:07:25,840 Safari Vista EMR pen uh it's one of four 100 00:07:24,599 --> 00:07:31,840 pens that they currently have on their website including the heart of metal pen 101 00:07:28,919 --> 00:07:35,759 too heart of metals revenge and they have a push-up pen which seems cool we 102 00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:41,360 can get that for next time but perhaps the coolest one is the Lami Safari twin 103 00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:43,960 EMR pen which is both a ceramic stylus 104 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:48,960 and can you can switch it to a real ballpoint pen this is one of the 105 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:55,720 weirdest styluses I've ever seen first of all it's got this like fancy pen lid 106 00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:59,240 that looks like it's from a real pen and then this if you told me this was a real 107 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:05,319 like ballpoint pen I'd believe you and you can actually unscrew it and take out 108 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,360 the ceramic core that feels like you 109 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:11,639 know oh this would be an ink refill except it's not it's just a ceramic 110 00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:17,560 thing that goes in the middle oh wow yeah I feel the give the remarkable 111 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,240 paper too and some other iank tablets 112 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:24,319 that I've checked out as well as like some um you can get screen protectors 113 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:30,199 for iPads and stuff with like a paper feel they feel more like paper the 114 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,839 supernote is trying to go for p pen on 115 00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:38,039 paper pen on a pad of paper feel and they have succeeded also it's it's got 116 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:41,839 give the display is supposed to deform the the nib also goes in I'm going to 117 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:49,640 use the erase function two fingers on that bar and draw around it and boom so 118 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,440 there's another two finger gesture if you do two fingers not on the sidebar 119 00:08:51,480 --> 00:09:00,959 but on the screen itself and draw around an item it'll select it you can make it 120 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:05,519 bigger or small smaller can you move it around yes look at this can you see that 121 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,079 there's ghosting on the display see all those little white lines that's where 122 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:16,079 that shortcut for refreshing the page comes in you can just do that and now the ghosting is gone oh I didn't like 123 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:18,079 that one undo oh just kidding I liked it 124 00:09:16,079 --> 00:09:21,560 redo bring it back there's also a more traditional eraser oh this will erase 125 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,640 just like little lines on something if you want just erase a little bit I 126 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:31,160 stumbled upon another one of the features which is that you can select 127 00:09:28,839 --> 00:09:35,600 things and make it a heading there's various different heading Styles you can 128 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:41,720 select from any headings you create you can go over here and see oh there's that 129 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:46,600 heading so if you have headings in multiple documents or whatever you can 130 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:52,360 go and Skip to sections that you've designated that's pretty nice but you 131 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,760 also have stars and keywords which are 132 00:09:52,360 --> 00:10:00,880 sort of similar uh with the Stars you just have to draw a star and it'll have 133 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,240 it be a bookmark oh oh how long has it 134 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:11,839 been since I actually had to draw one it worked you get a 135 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:14,240 star and then if I go here it'll be 136 00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:19,079 right there it knows I put a star there so we figured out that in order to make 137 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:24,959 use of the real time OCR you have to make a new note and then create it as a 138 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:31,000 realtime recognition type note uh it will support searching your 139 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,079 handwriting and exporting it it'll be a bit faster but it'll increase power 140 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:40,279 consumption because it's constantly scanning what you're doing belle look 141 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,200 Belle yeah that's the a with the I yes I 142 00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:47,200 kept thinking you were talking about AI okay cool it recognized my Oh I thought 143 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:53,040 I said Bush Apple at some point that's something entirely different here I'll 144 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,959 say re-recognize my text try again no 145 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,839 it's still thinks it's Bush that's on me so it is real-time recognition but if 146 00:10:56,959 --> 00:11:05,639 you got a lot of pages to go through it might take a little bit this isn't like 147 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:09,360 the fastest processor in here it's an RK 148 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:11,399 3566 processor which you know it's not a 149 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:16,480 it's no Snapdragon if you're into like sketching and stuff there's some other 150 00:11:13,079 --> 00:11:18,440 ink uh tablets that promise to emulate 151 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,600 the feel of like pencil on paper this one is a bit more like pens so it's a 152 00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:26,800 little bit more geared towards taking notes with the optical character 153 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,680 recognition and all that stuff links to 154 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,639 uh other documents which I'm going to talk about right now now actually there 155 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,800 isn't really a home screen like I mentioned earlier I like there being a 156 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:42,519 home screen if it's like an Android device it's familiar there's not that 157 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:44,639 here but with their linking ability I've 158 00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:50,320 seen some people create sort of Interlink documents that function sort 159 00:11:47,079 --> 00:11:51,959 of as home screens that kind of link to 160 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,800 other things so watch this I'm going to select this you can link to another page 161 00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:01,040 in the same file that you're in or you can link to another file okay okay so I 162 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,320 just made this squiggle link to a web page it's going 163 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:11,480 to open it that is a uh a chunky refresh 164 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,680 rate so it's got this USBC Port they say 165 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,240 that you can just plug in flash drives or external storage or whatever anyone 166 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:20,839 who is familiar with this platform probably saw this coming but I just 167 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:26,279 figured out that you have to install Android platform tools and do some uh do 168 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:31,160 some more technical stuff than we're prepared to do on this ShortCircuit so 169 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:36,399 side loing is definitely not as simple as I thought it was they said you could 170 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:38,920 install a or just plug in a flash drive 171 00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:45,440 but you can use a flash drive and external storage if you have like a 172 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:50,600 document format that's ready to use on here like a PDF or a UB or something now 173 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:58,480 despite the disappointing ending to that side loing Saga there is an advantage 174 00:12:54,040 --> 00:13:00,440 here uh in that it officially supports a 175 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:07,800 number of cloud services that you can just log into and sync with uh which is 176 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,480 already a lot easier than the remarkable 177 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:14,959 paper Pro which has the Chrome extension apparently and you can like just go to a 178 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:19,480 web page and send it to it but this one makes it a lot easier to send things 179 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:24,240 from the tablet somewhere else so I guess that's another way in which this 180 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:28,480 device differentiates itself from other tablets that might be a little bit more 181 00:13:25,959 --> 00:13:31,720 geared towards drawing as opposed to note taking 182 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,519 if when you're when you're sketching and stuff on a paperlike tablet you're not 183 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:40,160 going to export that to something else because it's just rough work it's like 184 00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:46,399 ideation this is also ideation but it's more text based and you can export it 185 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:50,560 you can sync it with your cloud services and you can even turn it from your 186 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,560 handwriting into text which is going to be easier for other people to deal with 187 00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:57,440 and easier for you to deal with on your like computer or something accessing 188 00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:02,199 Google Drive now the supernote Manta is $460 189 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:09,000 this pen is $90 although they have some slightly cheaper options and the half 190 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:11,519 folio is $60 so if you want that full 191 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:17,079 setup uh you know it's not going to be super cheap that said it does work with 192 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:21,079 other styluses so if you have other styluses with ceramic tips you can just 193 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:25,600 use that instead of buying a new one it doesn't have some of the niceties like 194 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:29,839 the front light and color however it does give you a little bit more 195 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:33,480 flexibility in how you want to use it uh company like remarkable wants you to 196 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:39,160 use the tablet in the way that they want you to use it it will allow you to 197 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:43,560 repair the device if anything happens to it and to me that is like one of the 198 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:49,440 coolest things about it is just the fact that we have another 199 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:54,440 company deciding to be a little less cynical about you know the kind of cycle 200 00:14:52,199 --> 00:14:58,800 of uh consumerism that we get into with these products like instead of just 201 00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:02,199 forcing you to buy a new thing when something something 202 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:07,000 breaks you know they're giving you that option and I feel like we need more 203 00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:10,079 companies to do that so thank you super 204 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,800 note for being inspired by the manta ray 205 00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:16,160 and making a
