I'm a current owner of a Ratta Supernote A5X. I use the Supernote all the time. I previously had a Remarkable 2, but thankfully Remarkable added a subscription which made me look elsewhere and led me to the Supernote.

This seems right up my alley. Although, $800 seems steep.

The new Supernote A5X2 is due this year... at probably half the price? Granted it doesn't have the 60fps display, but it definitely has a bunch of other features. Is the 60fps worth $400 more?



you're right, for some folks it's not gonna be worth the price increase

we understand that, and we hope we can bring the price down with scale

for some of the folks who its worth it for, some of the reasons are: - onenote or noteshelf or goodnotes on eink working without lag makes it worth it - obsidian or google docs or your terminal working without latency - you end up reading way more substacks, articles, blogs, things in the browser - dragon ball z on eink is fun :)


$800 is ridiculously steep. I could buy 8 kindles for that price


You're ignoring the 60fps and the display size for starters.


It is the same range of current high end E-Ink based Android tablets.

(See for example the Onyx Boox Ultra C.)
