Supernote Manta review

Ok, I’ve had the Supernote Manta for a few months now, so how do I like it? Short answer: I don’t think I’ve written on paper since a day or so after I bought it.

Why I bought it

I bought the Manta primarily for work notes. I write a lot of notes in my job, and while in past roles I didn’t have to refer to them very often, in my latest role I find that I am. Except I can only carry maybe 6 […]

Just learned that the quick list on the Supernote manta is limited to 8 places, but the bad news is when you a 9th link it just pushes the bottom one off. #supernote #supernotemanta

One month with the Supernote Manta

Ok maybe a bit more than a month because I got it December 19th or so, but let’s not quibble.

I bought it because I wanted to be able to keep more history of notes with me for work. I don’t need much integration with anything like One Note, just my notes, in a slim package. Oh, and no worries about ink.

Endless separate notebooks and pages, search, keywords, headings, and all the rest are really nice extras to the extent that they work. More on that later.

A month +in, and I’ve yet to go back to a paper notebook for work or my journal, or even a legal pad for my various lists. I really doubted it would happen. Will it last?

The more I think about it, it doesn't really even fit anyway. The Supernote Manta isn't usually regarded as the fanciest tablet. Competent, sure, but not as sleek/fancy/metallic/etc as the reMarkable or the others. So why pair it with a stylus designed to mimic an expensive pen? #supernote #supernotemanta

I don't want a cap - who the hell ever wanted to deal with a pen with a cap?

The only reason pens ever have caps is because it is required to keep ink from drying out or getting on stuff accidentally. EMR stylus' don't have ink.

Can we please have a nice ceramic tipped stylus with an eraser on the back end, and a button for lasso. Sure, go ahead and make it metal and heavy if you must.

I'm getting pretty attached to my Supernote Manta, but I don't understand the obsession with styling their stylus' like expensive pens. Especially inconvenient expensive pens. I want a button or two, a decent clip, an eraser on the back, and a ceramic tip.

Overall the device is a cauldron of love/hate, but more on that in a longer review I'm putting together.

As I'm using the Supernote Manta more, I'm of course considering their cloud service, which calls to mind security. My first inclination (and many other user's, based on online comments) is that it's not secure by modern computer standards. But is that really relevant when comparing to a paper notebook? #SupernoteManta #supernote #security

I finally got an e-ink tablet, a supernote manta. So far, so good. Just figuring out how to get organized. #supernote #SupernoteManta #eink

Mein täglicher Begleiter in der Arbeit und auch teilweise zuhause. Das Supernote A5X2 ist mein Versuch, weitestgehend papierlos zu werden. #Supernote #SupernoteManta #A5X2 #eInk
