I currently use a normal tablet for watching lectures + taking notes in splitscreen mode, but I’ve been thinking that this would be the ideal device for my workflow. Essentially a hinged, dual-pane tablet with stylus support – prefarably with Android. Does anyone know if something like this exists, or if there are any tablets that I can buy a second hinged screen for?
I have a Remarkable Paper Pro. I use it for notes, organization, reading books, etc. I love it.
The new Supernote is also a compelling option.
The ePaper display means I rarely have to worry about battery and the pen feeling is MILES better than any LCD I’ve ever tried.
My files all sync to my laptop and my phone, and it is way more comfortable to write on than a double screen device because I can have my ‘pad’ in letter orientation and my hand doesn’t run into the screen which can happen on the double screen devices.
It’s also fantastic for taking notes in meetings because I don’t have a laptop between me and the others and I don’t get distracted by notifications. It’s also light enough to disappear into my bag next to my laptop.
I just switched from a remarkable 2 to the new Supernote manta. I like the feel of the remarkable pen/screen better but I prefer the software on the Supernote and the ceramic pen tip.
Yea, if the Supernote Manta had been available that is probably the way I would have gone. I’m really interested in their repairability/upgradeability angle. I’ve had a Framework laptop for ages that just grows with me. Less waste, less cost.
How is the Remarkable thing for those of us with… questionable handwriting?
I have objectively terrible handwriting, and I find taking written notes is far slower than just typing it out in OneNote/Joplin/what have you.
My handwriting isn’t great but it’s legible (by me at least). I’m old (40s)and still find it quicker to jot notes - especially when I need to add figures.
