WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.439 so there were a bunch of comments on the remarkable paper pro video I did asking 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 00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:18.199 glad that you made me do it this thing seems pretty interesting it's kind of 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:20.880 wacky it's a modular tablet it's 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 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 00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:32.800 version of Android than you might see on some other eink tablets on the market 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.640 meaning you can side load things you can sync whatever you want that's exciting 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 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 00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:48.719 that there okay also in here 00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:50.800 we we have oh it it's a screwdriver and 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 00:00:53.199 --> 00:00:59.480 am not a pen screws for pen Loop 00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:03.239 replacement why do we need pen Loop replacement oh are they different sizes 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:07.159 they're different sizes for different pens because one thing about this that I 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 00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:17.200 with a large variety of pens because it's unpowered it uses a ceramic bit 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 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 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 00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:31.880 pen Loop okay so you got two other sizes 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:36.960 of the elastic ones and then you can make your own 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:39.520 DIY that's the whole theme Here guys and 00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:43.720 then of course the USBC cord in the Middle with a right angle connector you 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 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 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 00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:07.880 know also on the front display we have these lines on the side which are touch 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 00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:20.360 button on the right side uh in these little divots that uh supernote I guess 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.640 is saying that those evoke the the kind 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:27.000 of mandibles of the uh manta ray on the 00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:31.239 right side we got nothing except the the 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:34.440 uh aforementioned pen loop on the bottom 00:02:31.239 --> 00:02:36.879 another whole whack of nothing and on 00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:43.200 the left side things get interesting we've got some pins for the attachments 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 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 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.879 got four rubberized feet which make it 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 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 00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.239 aesthetic here it just makes me feel taken care of I like when a product when 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 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:19.120 got you that's how it feels opening up and seeing a thoughtfully designed panel 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:26.360 like this so you line those up with the holes and just click it 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:31.159 in oh not much of an audible click but 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:31.159 it goes in and that's 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 00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:45.879 option that could protect the back which you'd think that you would want uh given 00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:47.879 that you have this easily uh removable 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 00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:57.200 screen but just be aware that there isn't a at least a first-party option 00:03:54.200 --> 00:04:00.280 for a full back protection as well pull 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.439 that in it okay well it's 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:06.120 solid and that was the half folio now 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 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 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 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 00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:29.320 thing off this module right here is the 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:32.199 S so so this is basically the you know 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 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 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 00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:50.240 appears that there are these torque screws all around the edges of this uh 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:55.080 assembly that look like if you remove those you could take the screen out um 00:04:52.759 --> 00:05:00.240 because there are more specific screws for the S so module here three screws 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 00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:09.080 right now on their website they only have replacement parts for these so it's 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:13.320 not like you can go and get a bigger battery or a more powerful processor and 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 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:23.680 huge win to have a device like this on the market that is fully repairable and 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:27.280 like openable I feel like every time I use an eing tablet it's like somebody 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.960 like you know deaking me out or something it's like oh it's turning on 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 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 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 00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:47.800 like how they've word this I am willing to 00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:51.880 participate I'm not willing I like to see that this tablet basically has like 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.880 keyboard shortcuts without the keyboard you're going to be drawing something I 00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:02.160 didn't like that undo we'll see one finger slide down do 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 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 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:16.520 of sharks and sea urchins no even clicking the home button won't take me 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 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 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:35.720 finger and it's ashamed so this is the supernote pen never never wears out 00:06:30.599 --> 00:06:38.599 never surrenders 0.7 mm ultra fine nib 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:42.000 496 levels of pressure sensitivity which of course you got and it never needs to 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:46.400 be charged because as I said there's no battery inside and the nibs thing is 00:06:44.919 --> 00:06:50.960 interesting because you know the remarkable paper Pro other iing tablets 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:56.199 they have these replaceable nibs and you run out as they kind of degrade but this 00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:01.639 one and supernotes other pens that are usable with this thing use ceramic tips 00:06:58.919 --> 00:07:06.800 and they don't theg grade BTW in case you forgot Pen's mightier than the 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 00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:18.919 a high hardness tip which is only suitable for the screen surface of this 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:24.599 tablet this exact model is the Lamy 00:07:18.919 --> 00:07:25.840 Safari Vista EMR pen uh it's one of four 00:07:24.599 --> 00:07:31.840 pens that they currently have on their website including the heart of metal pen 00:07:28.919 --> 00:07:35.759 too heart of metals revenge and they have a push-up pen which seems cool we 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:41.360 can get that for next time but perhaps the coolest one is the Lami Safari twin 00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:43.960 EMR pen which is both a ceramic stylus 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:48.960 and can you can switch it to a real ballpoint pen this is one of the 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 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 00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:05.319 like ballpoint pen I'd believe you and you can actually unscrew it and take out 00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:07.360 the ceramic core that feels like you 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 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:17.560 thing that goes in the middle oh wow yeah I feel the give the remarkable 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:20.240 paper too and some other iank tablets 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:24.319 that I've checked out as well as like some um you can get screen protectors 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:30.199 for iPads and stuff with like a paper feel they feel more like paper the 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:32.839 supernote is trying to go for p pen on 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 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 00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:49.640 use the erase function two fingers on that bar and draw around it and boom so 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.440 there's another two finger gesture if you do two fingers not on the sidebar 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 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 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.079 there's ghosting on the display see all those little white lines that's where 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 00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:18.079 that one undo oh just kidding I liked it 00:09:16.079 --> 00:09:21.560 redo bring it back there's also a more traditional eraser oh this will erase 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:25.640 just like little lines on something if you want just erase a little bit I 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:31.160 stumbled upon another one of the features which is that you can select 00:09:28.839 --> 00:09:35.600 things and make it a heading there's various different heading Styles you can 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 00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:46.600 heading so if you have headings in multiple documents or whatever you can 00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:52.360 go and Skip to sections that you've designated that's pretty nice but you 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:54.760 also have stars and keywords which are 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 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:03.240 it be a bookmark oh oh how long has it 00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:11.839 been since I actually had to draw one it worked you get a 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:14.240 star and then if I go here it'll be 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 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 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:31.000 realtime recognition type note uh it will support searching your 00:10:28.760 --> 00:10:34.079 handwriting and exporting it it'll be a bit faster but it'll increase power 00:10:32.680 --> 00:10:40.279 consumption because it's constantly scanning what you're doing belle look 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:42.200 Belle yeah that's the a with the I yes I 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:47.200 kept thinking you were talking about AI okay cool it recognized my Oh I thought 00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:53.040 I said Bush Apple at some point that's something entirely different here I'll 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.959 say re-recognize my text try again no 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 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 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:09.360 the fastest processor in here it's an RK 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.399 3566 processor which you know it's not a 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:16.480 it's no Snapdragon if you're into like sketching and stuff there's some other 00:11:13.079 --> 00:11:18.440 ink uh tablets that promise to emulate 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 00:11:19.959 --> 00:11:26.800 little bit more geared towards taking notes with the optical character 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:28.680 recognition and all that stuff links to 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:32.639 uh other documents which I'm going to talk about right now now actually there 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.800 isn't really a home screen like I mentioned earlier I like there being a 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:42.519 home screen if it's like an Android device it's familiar there's not that 00:11:38.760 --> 00:11:44.639 here but with their linking ability I've 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:50.320 seen some people create sort of Interlink documents that function sort 00:11:47.079 --> 00:11:51.959 of as home screens that kind of link to 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 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 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:08.320 just made this squiggle link to a web page it's going 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:11.480 to open it that is a uh a chunky refresh 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:13.680 rate so it's got this USBC Port they say 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:17.240 that you can just plug in flash drives or external storage or whatever anyone 00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:20.839 who is familiar with this platform probably saw this coming but I just 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:26.279 figured out that you have to install Android platform tools and do some uh do 00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:31.160 some more technical stuff than we're prepared to do on this ShortCircuit so 00:12:29.160 --> 00:12:36.399 side loing is definitely not as simple as I thought it was they said you could 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:38.920 install a or just plug in a flash drive 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:45.440 but you can use a flash drive and external storage if you have like a 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 00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:58.480 despite the disappointing ending to that side loing Saga there is an advantage 00:12:54.040 --> 00:13:00.440 here uh in that it officially supports a 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:07.800 number of cloud services that you can just log into and sync with uh which is 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:10.480 already a lot easier than the remarkable 00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:14.959 paper Pro which has the Chrome extension apparently and you can like just go to a 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 00:13:16.880 --> 00:13:24.240 from the tablet somewhere else so I guess that's another way in which this 00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:28.480 device differentiates itself from other tablets that might be a little bit more 00:13:25.959 --> 00:13:31.720 geared towards drawing as opposed to note taking 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 00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:40.160 going to export that to something else because it's just rough work it's like 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:46.399 ideation this is also ideation but it's more text based and you can export it 00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:50.560 you can sync it with your cloud services and you can even turn it from your 00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:53.560 handwriting into text which is going to be easier for other people to deal with 00:13:51.959 --> 00:13:57.440 and easier for you to deal with on your like computer or something accessing 00:13:55.160 --> 00:14:02.199 Google Drive now the supernote Manta is $460 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:09.000 this pen is $90 although they have some slightly cheaper options and the half 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:11.519 folio is $60 so if you want that full 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 00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:21.079 other styluses so if you have other styluses with ceramic tips you can just 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 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:29.839 the front light and color however it does give you a little bit more 00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:33.480 flexibility in how you want to use it uh company like remarkable wants you to 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 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 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:49.440 coolest things about it is just the fact that we have another 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:54.440 company deciding to be a little less cynical about you know the kind of cycle 00:14:52.199 --> 00:14:58.800 of uh consumerism that we get into with these products like instead of just 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:02.199 forcing you to buy a new thing when something something 00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:07.000 breaks you know they're giving you that option and I feel like we need more 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:10.079 companies to do that so thank you super 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.800 note for being inspired by the manta ray 00:15:10.079 --> 00:15:16.160 and making a tablet that is basically indistinguishable
