Was doing some shopping research… it is that time of year afterall… and I was looking into a subject I know little about. E-ink writing tablets. I find these pretty cool, but really I don’t like writing so it’s no really for me. As a result I’m not really up to date with what’s a good buy. I knew of the well promoted ones and that seemed the best option, and I know of the companies that I’d assume would make one, but that’s about it. (Not going to name too many names here as my opinions are pretty worthless on this subject all things considered.) So I researched the one I knew, and the other, learned about a few others didn’t like them, did some searches of “xxx alternatives”, browsed stores, and eventually settled on the one made by the company that I assumed would make one. Mostly ‘cos of that. I didn’t like all the features and limitations, but it was a known factore that I figured would be supported well.
This to me is like proving a science assumption. You need to be as unbiased as possible and not look for answers that just support what you want to believe. If anything you need to aggressively attempt to prove that you’re wrong. Which in the end I did.
So I started watching videos on “how to” do stuff on this, just to make some final checks that what I had picked was good, and then, and only then, did I hear about another product that fitted what I wanted even better. Not sure why this happened. Bad searches? Bad search implementation? Too much sponsorship? Hard to be sure. But I’m glad that I delayed pushing that buy button.
Bought a Supernote Manta A5X2. Probably more on it later.
