Lenovo Smart Paper

“The Lenovo Smart Paper is a good digital notebook, a reliable document reader and, to a certain extent, a good companion for surfing the web. Unfortunately, the e-ink tablet is simply too weak and inflexible for any more demanding tasks.”

“The Lenovo Smart Paper has everything you need to start reading, journaling, and doodling, but by pricing itself too closely to that of traditional tablets that do much more, it’s hard to recommend it to most. If you’re looking to upgrade the functionality of an older E-Ink device, it’s great, but if you have any artistic inclination or ambition behind simple doodles, you can do much better for your money.”

“The Lenovo Smart Paper is a solid entry into the digital note-taking arena. Its sleek design, responsive performance, and excellent pen feel make it a joy to use. However, its price (AED 1600), combined with its software limitations might hold it back from dethroning the current champions. Overall though, if you’re looking for a basic and reliable e-reader with a focus on writing, the Smart Paper is a strong contender for sure.”

“If you’re seeking an e-ink tablet that allows you to go beyond note-taking, into email, your calendar and web browsing, then this is a great jack of all trades and – within the crazy prices of the e-ink tablet world – pretty good value. Whether that’s enough for it to thrive in a small, expensive niche is another matter.”
