Supernote A5X & A6X Update 2.8.22 (beta): Features Overview, Google Drive & Screen Sharing!

[@How2Adult]

I have been waiting for the screen share feature for a long time. It was why I bought my supernote in the first place. I'm very impressed with it and it's exactly what I needed

[@deranaomi]

Thank you so much for keeping us up to date! I appreciate the work that you are doing with this.

[@1recordernut]

I just purchased this and love it! I tried screen casting and it works beautifully.

[@vinoto]

Thanks so much! I hope you continue to do these update videos

[@lisaharris7445]

Thanks Voja - I just love how excited you get about the good work from the SN team.

[@Rsmin]

Agree, only had my a5x for a few days and love this thing. A little bit of a learning process when getting it but I think with all the videos I have watched (mostly yours) I have been navigating it pretty easy now. I only have one book on it now (that is not in my Kindle library) I love because I am writing on it (DRM FREE EPUB) and linking back and forth with one of my notes. Works with no problem. The only thing I would love is to find more books I can get on it outside of the Kindle app. They don't have to be drm free but at least easier to get on the Supernote. Either that or somehow let me link to my Kindle books. Anyway, thanks for your channel. Anytime I see you pop up a Supernote video I am jumping on it!

[@ernestintownandjackintheco1024]

If you thought the SN had a learning curve, just be glad you didn't go with Boox 😅

[@Rsmin]

@@ernestintownandjackintheco1024 Ruff huh?

[@ernestintownandjackintheco1024]

@@Rsmin I found it very much so. Just getting Google Play activated was quite a pain. I find that the hype of the Google app store is overblown as very little of it I found useful on an eink device.

[@zcytf15]

thanks for the demo! wow!

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Wow the screen share is going to be great for my teaching videos

[@igorescalona]

Excelente video. Realmente la funcion screen mirror es una cosa tremenda, es super util a la hora de exponer un punto en el trabajo

[@arunbupathy]

I don't need the screen casting feature now, but when I get into teaching (hopefully), I am expecting to use this feature heavily. Supernote have outdone themselves, and I hope they keep it up! And thanks to you Voja, for your videos that helped me choose this wonderful device over the others!

[@shrosa814]

Thank you for this review. I'm enjoying the Google Drive addition! I found screen sharing fun and easy to use. While I still enjoy my reMarkable 1, the Supernote A5x is my favorite device.

[@VinAbuqrq]

This casting is something else! Amazing. The casting from the boox looks so outdated now. But well, we all knew this was coming. Just a question, because I am not familiar with Supernote devices: on your notebook, do you have access to colored traces? RGBs that are shown like that when exported? If so, how do they look on the casting? The boox casting can show colored traces, which is the one redeeming quality of it. Has that been done by anyone else?

[@cestmoi5687]

I'm super excited about this. My work is very math and programming based. This will be great for me at work to explain equations and concepts to colleagues instead of trying to type equations in Word or Notebook or drawing ugly graphs in Paint 3D.

[@jennydb3797]

Your videos on e-ink tablets are some of the best out there! Thank you for giving such great reviews and updates on features. I've looked into different pen options and wanted to see, which one are you using in this video?

[@CTilling]

Thanks again, Voja, great overview of the new features. Sadly I cannot share screen over my work WiFi - they have adds some security features that block it, annoyingly.

[@julienlaumonier5861]

As i am waiting for the A4X2, the screen sharing feature of my A6X is really helpfull to read academic paper :) without it, errr, it is a little bit painful for the eyes.

[@julianandressalazar5755]

I am new into the e-ink tablets, and the supernote a5x, after seeing all of the reviews, seems the most attractive to me. Is there a new supernote tablet to the market? You mentioned that you are waiting for the A4X2, so Im curious

[@emanuelmovtady6000]

11:24 How did you switch to highlight like that? Is it specific to your pen? Or did you do a gesture that I didn’t realize you do?

[@MyDeepGuide]

You simply choose the highlighter pen. Or do you think the editing cut? It was a cut there, as I was probably rambling on and on about something irrelevant before getting to the point about the highlighter :) There a lot of those that are left cut out on the "editing floor".

[@RobertGrixti]

Screen sharing is good... only that it cannot be possible through a public guest WiFi. I cannot connect to the work WiFi, and trying to screen share through the open WiFi results in the page not loading. Cloud sharing: Is it possible to sync to multiple sites (supernote cloud which is good to visualize notes etc plus dropbox and/or google drive?)

10:00 Truest statement ever while actually using a product under review: Oops, I accidentally pressed the power button. Of course! Who doesn't do that ten times a day in normal usage?

[@Mizar88]

Does screen mirroring support colors? i.e. can you have colored penstrokes?

[@teeg3030]

Voja, your reviews helped me in the decision of adopting SN A5X and A6X a few months ago. I love these devices, the only problem I noticed on the A5X is that the screen protector is coming apart on the bottom and was wondering if you've experienced this? My SN never leave my desk and I'm extremely careful with it. My second question is, if it's possible to sync to the SN cloud first, and then to the Google Dropbox? Thank you for your great reviews!

[@MyDeepGuide]

Thank you for watching! I have noticed that back on the first A6 (non X version), it had small areas around edges that would look as if it would "come apart", but the reality is that around 3 years in, and it never did, it stayed put and some areas even became more even. So I think that it could be the case of the edges simply not being set in all the way, but I am 9nly guessing here, as I didn't see the extent of the issue you have. If it's more extreme than that, then it's maybe an idea to contact them and ask either for a replacement or for advice. As for synchronization, you can only use one cloud account at a time, so you can do that, but you would need to manually switch, and such a workflow is not a favorable one, but it certainly is possible.

[@josefernandes4230]

Hi! Im new in this type on technology, and im wondering if this A5x/a6x can open a pdf file?

[@MyDeepGuide]

Yes it can, and it can annotate it. I recommend that you watch my Supernote A5X playlist, especially the in-depth review.

[@nxel2]

Can you share a document and click a youtube link for example?

[@Ketsuafureskit]

How about casting the other way? From a PC to the Supernote? Using it as an external e-ink screen.

[@MyDeepGuide]

Nope.

[@Ketsuafureskit]

@MyDeepGuide Seems like a missed opportunity to me. If it can send it should be able to receive. Maybe with a later update?

[@karlmunford7000]

I've been gravitating towards purchasing a Supernote but I'm struggling to find any videos... Supernote or other, that expound annotating *'non-protected'* eBooks, PDFs many but not eBooks. If Supernote will help me review my work via an ebook with notes and annotations then I've finally found the device I've been looking for.

[@broberge95]

I love your content and the community you’ve built! Can anyone help me? I have an A6X and when I try to access my google drive, my notes are synced in an unreadable file type. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[@matthewweir2247]

Do the devices need to be on the same wifi network in order to do the screen sharing?

[@MyDeepGuide]

Yes

[@heartgungirl]

Nice video, thanks. Perhaps it would be a good idea to not show the serial number and other data?

[@1recordernut]

I have a couple of questions. What would the advantage be to sync to Google Drive versus SN? Can you sync files to SN and G Drive if you wanted? I Am having a nightmare transferring files from my Papyr to my PC.

[@MyDeepGuide]

Well, the advantage is that you bypass an external cloud service, or that you have direct access to your files, directly on the Google Drive, if Google Drive is your regular storage environment.

[@1recordernut]

@@MyDeepGuide I tested a notebook I made on the SN. Once in Google Drive, I saw I cannot open it. Am I supposed to be able to? If so, how?

[@bhavlovick]

I have seen using Boox Note Air 1 for a little more than a year but not happy with it. I writing surface just doesn't feel good which makes it hard to write. I have tried a paper--like screen cover but that doesn't make it much better. The other feature I really would like to have is screen sharing to do whiteboards with my team of engineers. Now that there are a few devices with screen sharing capabilities, which device is the best for paper--like writing and screen sharing?

[@How2Adult]

Supernote has both of those things and they do both these things very well. But I haven't tried all e-ink in the market so can only provide feedback about the supernote

[@baltgames1]

how did you share screen to phone? Please tell!

[@MyDeepGuide]

What do you mean? By using the browser on my phone, same as using a browser on your computer or another tablet.

[@baltgames1]

@@MyDeepGuide at 6:48 you shared screen to lot of devices. What software or program did you use for that?

[@MyDeepGuide]

A browser opened on each of the devices shown. Nothing else.

[@jmisc]

Does Supernote work with Google Docs and a bluetooth keyboard? I want to see if it is bearable to write Google Docs document using this tablet.

[@MyDeepGuide]

It works with a Bluetooth keyboard, but not with Google docs. However, you can create and edit Word Doc files natively on the platform.

[@MyDeepGuide]

I doubt that, although it would be such a good move for them if they could strike such a deal.

[@HelloLudger]

I was super excited about the Supernote, but now I hear that it doesn't allow Google Play?!? That's very unfortunate, then it is not an alternative. An eInk device that doesn't allow me to read my library, kindle and other drm books, is not versatile enough :(

[@MyDeepGuide]

It does have a Kindle app, but no, it's not a Google Play device. For a more tablet like experience, you might wanna look at Boox devices.

[@LeftyPencil]

Apps can be sideloaded but not officially yet. Some folks want to be free from DRM..

First impressions are lasting impressions. My first impression here was that I had to type Vojislav Dimitrijevic by hand because it's not in the show notes, and it's only Voya in the transcript. Golden Rule of Life: Corporations don't innovate, people innovate. I got that from Bryan Cantrill, who's a Unix superstar. You either know the name of the person delivering the content, or you don't know shiitake. It's the first stone I turn with every new KZbin channel I encounter. Now I'm probably a bit type A compared to your average couch potato. In fact, I'd probably be voted off Potato Island on the first day, if virtual Prince Edward Island was a mob democracy. I ask God daily: Why am I always the 1% of everything? I'm sure it's a curse, but there it is.
