HUION Note 2-in-1 Digital Notebook Drawing Tablet With Battery-free Pen, Bluetooth Wireless Paper Tablet Electronic Writing Pad for Note-taking, Digital Art & Meeting, Refillable A5 Notepad, 9.5x7inch

The Huion Note x10 is really cool. I first started looking to digitize my notes years ago and went with the Rocketbook brand. It was ok. Being stuck to specific pens that only do decent with left-handed writing, the re-useable notebook was neat but cumbersome to use. The Note x10 is also stuck with a single specific pen, however it seems there are replacements readily available, and the quality of the ink standard/nice enough.The Huion Note x10 does everything that I was looking for. First and foremost, ease of use. It is instantaneous when using it. The longest part of setting up the device was when creating the account I had to wait a couple of minutes for the verification code to come through in an e-mail. I'm not even sure if creating an account is necessary. Once you scan the QR code from the Huion Note App, it's paired and re-pairs itself fairly quickly as you open and close the pad. Similarly for tablet mode, I installed the driver first and then plugged it into the computer. Right away it was connected and usable. It should be noted that I found it most reliable to unplug and replug the device in when you put it into sleep mode.The Huion App is very good, which is great. Often these are the shortcomings for such a device. In this case, the app has a multitude of notebook selections, pen styles, and a few tools for note-taking. Honestly, just in itself it is a very good note app (though not ideal without the Note x10!), and given that it is how you will likely primarily be interfacing with the Note x10, this is a very important aspect and they did a good job. A couple of outstanding points -- you are able to create notebooks in the app, so I create a "Daily Tasks To-Do" list and each page is a separate part of the house. I also created a "Blueprints" and standard "Notes" notebook. This alone sets the app apart from others I've come across. Another nifty trick is to use the pens Tablet Rubber Nib on a blank page. You get the feel of writing, but of course there is no ink. It takes a second to get used to, as you'll be looking at the phone screen for where you've written on the page, but it's nice for when you want to take notes but without using up one of the 50 pages. So far I have used it the most this way, as I wanted to digitize existing notes, but without using up pages.Tablet mode is also very serviceable, while it may not have gestures or buttons like a fully fledged Wacom tablet would, that's not really an issue since that's not it's main purpose. So far I've tried it out with photoshop and with storyboarder and it works exactly as you'd expect.Possible negatives to look out for: First on this short list is the notepad paper itself just happens to be semi-easily affected by humidity. I have found that some papers tend to fold with use and perspiration. The default A5 paper that comes with this notebook seems to have this happen. However, the paper quality itself is very good and feels pleasant to write on. Next is the possible longevity of the pen tips -- each tip is about 1/4th to 1/3rd the length of a normal pen. They advertise 400m, which I'm sure is plenty. I'm more thinking long term, say 8 years from now if everything will still be available. Finally, it sounds like only their brand of pen works -- to be expected. Don't lose it! The pen does come with a leather carrying case that can magnetically attach to a specific spot of the front of the Huion Note x10, however I wouldn't rely on it alone were I to carry mine out and about.That is about it. In terms of positives: The A5 Paper can be any replacement pads. This is really great for longevity. The device itself feels fairly high quality and has few moving parts, nothing that seems like it would break. The app is very, very good for note taking and it looks and feels really cool taking notes with it. And being able to use it in tablet mode means that even at the very end of its life it can still have a purpose.In short: The Huion Note x10 is very well advertised, delivering on everything it promises. Connecting to the App via Bluetooth on your phone is very easy, using it is very fluid, and interfacing between the two of them has next to no downsides that I came across. In addition to all of this, it can very easily connect to the computer to be used as a drawing tablet. The downsides that I tried to list are honestly not even about the device or the app itself, but just possible concerns about long term supply of pen tips and being extremely nitpicky.This is a great device. If you want to digitize your notes, I highly recommend it for that alone and you get the added bonus of having a drawing tablet.

Works phenomenally has way more features than I originally expected!

It's good for notes and sketches. If you run out of paper, you can use paper less than 10 mm thick until you run out of ink. I feel like the package comes with enough refills though, and technically, you can use the drawing board to write notes when connected to the app, but this requires skill.It connects well with your phone and has a lot of templates and color options. The painting part is the best part. I found it very relaxing as you can get as creative as you want. Honestly, I think it's too expensive for what you get because it doesn't even convert handwritten to text, but it's still a good product and I'm keeping it.

This notebook is amazing! My daughter loves drawing with it.

Arrived quickly, beautiful packaging, beautiful product. I was excited to get this up and running for my wife. Unfortunately, you can’t do anything until you register. I tried two different emails and the verification code never showed so that ended it for me. You need to rethink that customer experience.

Really happy with this! It works well, feels like good quality, and does exactly what I needed. Definitely something I’d buy again.

I almost always leave 5-star reviews, as you can check, but in this case as much as I wish to, I just cannot. This product is an amazing concept but it is simply not ready for marketing. Let me begin by saying that if you simply wish to connect it to your computer and use as a drawing pad, it works wonderfully. If you plan to use it for taking notes, not so good an idea. I spent the better part of two days testing and trying to make this perform as it should, with no success. Literally, I would write a page in the notebook and see it appear on my phone, meaning all is working, only to come back later, seeing the note had vanished. When I wrote with the green light on, as the data is to be stored in the device when not online, I got very unpredictable results. When I later synced it with my iphone, one portion of the notes appeared on two different pages with no explanation. When I would stop taking notes and return later to resume on the same page, upon syncing, I would find that the second paragraph on the written page was 3 pages away, with two blank pages in between. The erratic loss of notes and random placement of them withing the pages on my iphone forced me to finally give up and return the product. I have used a competitor for years which flawlessly lets you write on page 5 then jump to page 20, and then return to page 5 to resume there. It works flawlessly. This device is amazing in that it can track the pen but it cannot keep up with where to resume, and even how many pages to display the exact same paragraph. I did attend law school, and honestly, had I tried to use this I would have lost my mind. Thankfully, the written pen and ink notes in the paper notebook, do stay where you write them. I will watch the development of this item and would love to return to it when the many bugs are resolved. It is a beautiful product in appearance, very classy, even in a premium box, but the performance for notetaking is unacceptable. Good luck to the developers with bringing this product to a useful state.
