Supernote A6X2 Nomad Long-Term Review

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.

6:49 "There is no subscription necessary anywhere" 👍 👍

I love it when a ' left handed person reviews a product, or a left handed person shows how they draw - depending on the stats and the country we are less than 20 percent of any population (writing wise).

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...

I am also waiting for the A5X2. This review has really solidified this for me. That and the expandable storage and kindle app. Sure no backlight, but that's what my Kindle Paperwhite is for.

Great review! I sold my Remarkable2 and got an A6 nomad. The lock-in with remarkable cloud was a no-go for me. The on-device OCR is great for converting scribbles to text and natively syncing them to OneDrive. The A6 size works really well for me running between meetings.

Thank you for the review! I recently purchased a Remarkable based on your previous recommendation, I will say that if I had known the Supernote could search for handwritten words I might have picked that up!

My intended use for these notebooks is that I want to be able to keep all the notes for my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns in one place and being able to reference back to previous sessions ON the device would be a god-send.

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.

Great Video! Thank you! Small double audio at 7:20- maybe you can fix before it gets viewed a million times! Thank you for ALL your content!

Thanks for the review. Waiting for the A5X2 myself. Kind of disappointed in the Boox I have, so it can't come soon enough.

I ❤ my RM 2 also. I can’t get enough of it. I try using an ipad to take notes but i always go back to the RM 2. Lately my RM 2 battery hasn’t been the best but the battery cannot be replaced. Thats my only challenge. And now with the new update where you can archive to take advantage on unlimited cloud storage. I can keep all my books in my large book collection in the cloud and unarchive the specific books I am reading now.

[Thebitbeard]

You've convinced me. I just ordered one. It will be replacing the Moleskine notebooks I typically carry around.

[Saintel]

Great review. This was super helpful in my search for a notebook.

[gulpowizzard]

Good review. Apps sideloading is just "fixed" by today's update which adds a switch to enable sideloading and fixes auto-sync problem

[rasaskitchen]

If they allowed sideloading Android apps, this is an instant buy for me. Thanks for the review.

I use the A5X with a Samsung Galaxy S6 pen. It works great for me. I bought just the Supernote without the folio or their pen. I'd definitely like to try out the Ratta pens in the future.

[quickontheballpaul]

Thanks for the review, helpful to hear the differences. Do you ever sell on the units you review and end up not using long term?

[brittca]

Thanks for helping me make a decision on purchasing my first e-ink device. I have an iPad Air + Apple Pen but it’s not pleasant to write on, even with a Paperlike. For drawing though, it’s great. I’m going to pick up the Supernote Nomad. :)

[elibabenko]

Ive been looking at a bunch of different options and have been thinking of getting myself a digital note taking device that wont get me distracted every few seconds.. overall i love supernote and i think their company being the way it is is a huge positive for me, my only wish i that their devices were a bit bigger, but they have only released a few products so far i believe so we might get a bigger version in the future, at least i hope so lol.
Great video!❤

[VladimirKostek]

Great vid Brandon! Loving the nomad too, I agree it won't replace my remarkable but as a supplemental tool it's wonderful and the portability is awesome as well 👍

[isbestlizard]

7:50 oh.. well that's a dealbreaker then. "You had one thing to do". I'll buy one when they fix the bug.
