In fact, even the included Firefox web browser comes with a warning that some websites (YouTube, for instance) won’t perform very well. No games and no video player, which is completely sensible given the bad experience they would inevitably offer. There’s only a small selection of apps – email, a calculator, a calendar, a clock, WPS Office, an Ebook reader, a file manager and Firefox – and nothing extra. That isn’t an issue here and it’s all the better for it.
HANDWRITING RECOGNITION NOTABILITY SOFTWARE
One of my criticisms of the Boox Onyx Tab Ultra C was that, with unfiltered Android, much of the software simply wasn’t suitable. Lenovo has clearly thought a lot about the limitations of E Ink and provided a tablet that only includes things offering at least a passable experience. This sensible design continues to the software. The stylus magnetically sticks to a groove at the side of the screen, which lines up with a bulge in the cover to keep it firmly in place. Lenovo Smart Paper review: What do we like about it?įirst of all, it’s a great-looking package and it’s superbly designed. But as this is E Ink, you can expect a battery life that can be measured in weeks rather than hours. It has 64GB of eMMC storage for your doodles, notes and ebooks, and packs a 3,550mAh battery that Lenovo says is good for 8,500 pages of reading time, whatever that means. The deliberately limited functionality means the included 1.8GHz Rockchip RK3566 processor and 4GB RAM is sufficient to keep things running smoothly.
HANDWRITING RECOGNITION NOTABILITY ANDROID
It has a resolution of 1,872 x 1,404 and a pixel density of 227ppi (pixels per inch).Īccording to Lenovo, the Smart Paper runs on Android but, unlike E Ink tablets from Boox, you wouldn’t know it, as it’s heavily skinned with no access to the Google Play store. You also get the tablet itself: a surprisingly light (408g) 10.3in slate that’s just 5.5mm thick. And while Lenovo isn’t the cheapest, the price does include a 4,096-pressure-sensitive stylus, a case, a charger and replacement stylus nibs in the box. So it’s pricey, then, but still competitive.
If you want a colour display, the Android-powered Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C will set you back £600, while also-rans such as the Huawei MatePad Paper and Kobo Elipsa 2E come in at £420 and £350 respectively.
Our favourite, the ReMarkable 2, comes in at £398 once you throw in a Marker stylus, and even Amazon, with its unique ability to absorb costs, only manages to bring its Kindle Scribe down to £330. That’s clearly expensive, but it actually puts it pretty much bang in the middle of the mid range for this class of tablet.
