4 Month Nomad Review (4.5 ⭐️ / 5)
Hey all,
Pros:
I got my Supernote during the beginning of March. I use the Nomad for school, reading, and writing. Mostly I love this device; it’s compact size makes it easy to bring anywhere you might end up brain rotting and to then read or write instead, the battery life has never left me wanting and can often go 3-4 days with heavy use before needing charging if Bluetooth and WiFi are off when not being used, the UI is easy to use if you know how to handle e-ink screens and actually do the tutorial on startup, and the ability to sync with google or whatever services you use is a godsend. I was even able to load Canvas onto the device and while it didn’t work great it did let me submit handwritten work from the nomad straight to professors. I had seen issues online with using BT keyboards for a typing experience and can report acting buying a foldable mini keyboard for mobile writing, it actually works great with barely any input lag.
Cons:
The pen writing experience is very good but is often spoiled due to no options for disabling non constant writing. Often when writing cursive or at all my strokes will continue after I raise the pen, no matter how I play with the settings for the different values (if anyone has a setting that works thank you! I’m not searching urgently for a solution but any help is welcome.)
Conclusion:
The nomad helped me organize and graduate college and still helps me with writing, note taking, and keeping my desire to read fresh and alive. I’ve read 7 books on it and 3 were sun eater books (ifykyk) and I don’t think I could’ve done that if I had to carry around those 600+ page chunker fantasy and sci-fi novels. If you love reading and writing and hate Amazon and the kindle ecosystem this system is for you, but beware the non contact writing issue!
