  • After significant time using the Supernote A6X2 Nomad, it's finally time for me to share a full review. I've used this device exclusively for the last six+ weeks and in this video we'll discuss what It's like to live with this device and my opinions on it now that the honeymoon period is over. Stick around to the end of the video to see if it can dethrone the reMarkable 2 as my daily driver device.

      I'm technically right-handed, but I thought lefties were cooler, so I trained myself to do most things with my left hand back in 8th grade. I refused to write with my right hand for a long time. Now, I use whichever hand is more convenient for the moment, and I often end up writing with my left hand on my ReMarkable because I'm sitting at my desk and the mouse and keyboard make it less convenient to write with my right hand. I'm also a high school teacher, and sometimes it works better to use my right hand when writing on the smart board, and other times it's better to use my left. So, basically, because child me thought lefties were so cool, I inadvertently developed a useful life skill 😂

      @@LWeOAreVOneE You built a lot of helpful neurons in your brain by doing that !!! I do somethings left, and some things right. I 'taught' myself to use a mouse for my computer using left and right hands (not at the same time that would look dumb) and would flip which hand I was using every half a year. You can do basically the same thing use one hand at one work and another hand at home. At work when training people, or helping them, I would often sit to their side at their desk and would have to grab the mouses to show them how to do stuff, being able to control the mouse efficiently was a helpful bonus (I don't think my customer's took notice of that little skill, but it helped me a lot - and saved frustration on all our parts.)

      ​@LWeOAreVOneE It's the same with musical instruments. With the piano, I can detach my left hand completely. Meaning, it can independently keep time, even in a different signature. When I play guitar, my left hand performs the most complex movements I can make. Outside of that, it's worthless. It can't hit very well, a hammer is useless, and forget throwing anything with it, unless I want to look like Smalls from sandlot.

    A bit of a correction: A6 standard is actually _a quarter_ of that sheet of paper (roughly an A4, which is 8.3" x 11.7"). A6 refers to the screen size, and with the borders, the device does come closer to an A5-sized paper (which is half of A4).
    In turn, the footprint of the Supernote A5X (i.e. A5 screen size) is actually closer to an A4 paper because of the borders haha...

The light chips plug into the USB-A socket and the USB-C plugs into the Supernote's charging port, which gives you a mini reading light that casts over the surface of the Supernote.

      Would appreciate anything you've learned in your time with the device. I run my sessions on paper at the moment but would love to store my notes digitally.
      I've been tempted by paper overlay + ipad for reading D&D pdfs from the DMs guild, as well as media player for music, all in one D&D station, but with a budget of around £350 I don't think I can do better than Remarkable. Might not be able to read the pdfs or do media but it can replace my notes.

      @JelenedraKTulsa Před 15 dny

      The writing to text feature isn't as useful as I hoped so my real compliant is the difficulty to "flip" through my notes when I need to look something up. However, I forget about the desktop app so I might have better luck scrolling through that.
      However, do recommend saving yourself money and just getting an amazon scribe pen over remarkables.

    I currently own an A6X2 and love it, it's a pleasure to take it everywhere with me and work with it. I am planning for the future to purchase an A4X2 which will rather stay at home and which will complement my workflow as size is sometimes an issue with the A6. Maybe the future A5X2 would be a good compromise to have a single device but I didn't have the patience to wait. In addition, A4 + A6 will be ideal for all cases.

      Omg! Why would someone need a Supernote to supplement a Remarkable? I'm shocked to hear that suggestion and I'm asking genuinely. Not trying to just argue on the Internet. It's just that I've gotten the impression that these devices are designed to help with focus and productivity and deliberately have limited features. If I have to use two different ones, then I'll have my notes scattered across different services and locations.

    • @VladimirKostek
      @VladimirKostek Před 12 dny

      @@tolu619 Fair question, personally I use the remarkable for big picture ideas and planning. The nomad I use as more of a day to day jot pad and to sketch. With the respective phone apps I don't have to worry about my notes being scattered because I can access them all on my s23 Ultra. They are indeed both very focused devices like you mentioned. Hope that clarifies a bit for ya! It's worth noting too that reMarkable requires a subscription, Supernote does not

    Good review. I do think that besides device performance, much that goes into the decision of whether to buy one of these devices has to do with personal need. I own both the RM2 and the Nomad. Each performs well. Each could do with some improvement. Whatever their reasons, having a built-in front lit screen would vastly improve the devices. Digital note taking is a matter of convenience in all situations. So, having built-in light and making the devices water resistant should be a strong consideration for these manufacturers going forward. In addition, while the software on each is good, improving the connection with the IOS and Android ecosystems should be a goal. These are largely complementary devices. That said, I would give the nod to the Nomad, largely due to the current state of the software. Owning both, I find myself going most of the time to the Nomad for my note taking needs.

    The thing about the writing lagging behind is a bummer, and a bit of a deal-breaker for me. I would love device like this or Remarkable for my college homework and notes, but I need it to be as close to real-time as possible. I tried doing homework/notes with a pen display (Huion Kamvas 13), but the latency between pen-stroke and ink-stroke kinda ruined that experience for me. I don't really care whether the display is e-ink or LCD or OLED, I really only care that it has near-zero latency.

      @@BrandonKBoswell I was about to comment about the sound as well, though I didn't like the sound. I get very bothered/distracted with sound-related stuff (too loud, too quiet, changing too much, too much dynamic range, etc) so the problem could very well be me.
      But to me it sounds like the voice volume level is fluctuating a lot, to the point that I wasn't even being able to pay attention to the content. This might be a long shot, but it sounds like there's an EQ filter applied to the voice that is cutting quite a bit on some of your normal speech frequencies (it sounds to me it's the highs) while maintaining or even boosting the lows, so when the voice pitch is low it gets louder and when it's high it gets quieter. At 6:18 this is very noticeable, your voice gets quite low pitched saying "hour long" and it sounds way louder than when you say "supernote has" right after in a much higher pitch.
      I don't know a lot about sound mixing / engineering but if there's indeed an EQ filter being used maybe it needs to be more subtle to avoid drastic level differences between frequencies that are part of the voice, or maybe adding a Compressor after the EQ can help even things out. If there's no EQ filter then it maybe needs one (or at least a Compressor). 😅
      That said, the content is great and it definitely helped me decide on getting a Supernote, thanks a lot for the video. Hopefully the A5X2 will be released soon because I would love the bigger screen!

    On paper, the software benefits of the Supernote are a no-brainier compared to the Remarkable. However, when your actually use the devices, I quickly concluded that the Remarkable is simply the better device in terms of form factor and I really REALLY enjoyed the simplicity of the device and software. I think Remarkable really has the upper ground here.

    Great review thanks! Just a note, when it comes to doing audio for the CZcams video, be careful on how you use the compressor, as we can hear your voice constantly sound like it's going back and forth. This is probably due to the compressor being cranked up way too much.

    Hi Brandon, at the end of the long video "SuperNote A6 X2 Nomad is finally here!" you show the vertical scrolling of the Supernote similar to that of the Remarkable 2. Instead in this video you say that there is no vertical scrolling in the Supernote. I did not understand. Is there or isn't vertical scrolling to stretch the space when you write?

    • @BrandonKBoswell
      @BrandonKBoswell  Před měsícem +1

      The device gives you a portrait shaped document. When you orient the device landscaped you can scroll within the original portrait sized space. This is different to how the reMarkable works where you can keep scrolling to make the document taller

    This is due to a problem that took place during the production of the Supernote A6X2 Nomad which has led the factory to undertake extensive testing to ensure that there are no malfunctions in the products.

    As a male, and semiretired - I miss not having my backpack (where I hauled my laptop etc.) How do you carry things around - I basically have the concept that if it doesn't fit in a pants pocket it is not going to be an 'every day carry' - most women have a purse. I am not ashamed to carry a messenger bag or like carrying case if I am going to a 'specific destination' conference or meeting but going to an grocery store - etc. I would love to know how you manage this. Note: I would love an e-ink that just is about the size of phone. - low battery usage - 'cheapness' in case I break it or lose it, etc, a good supply or source of compatible 'pens' for all your devices might be a good vid too. I have a 'paper issue' LOL - I hate to mess up a paper notebook or chuck my notes, hence I buy the cheapest memo pad for quick lists. I still have notes from HS, college and I have not purged yet and even one from middle school. It is a problem, I know. Battery usage is a big deal. I finally bought a Kindle, just black and white - after my niece said she only charges it up one every other month. I love it. after having it a year and a half It has 'reduced' my paper book purchases a lot, and I love 'the samples'. Thank the lord I have not learned how to get books from any other place than Amazon (but I am coming around the corner on that) and just learned to 'export' my highlights - never needed to really do that too much until recently. Soon I will learn to attach Libby to it.
