I was able to test this tablet for a number of weeks for Review.nl.
A small piece of unboxing, a nice little box in which no charger is included.
There is a pin included with which you can attach the tablet. Very useful, but I did not use it during my test period because 128MB was more than sufficient.
First impression is that the tablet starts up quickly and has a nice clear screen.
The only thing that stood out during this first introduction is that setting it up felt a bit slow.
Since I didn't have a tablet for backup, I opted for a clean installation.
After accepting the conditions, the time had come. I could start testing.
The screen that I have been looking at for a while during the initiation turns out to be a beautiful colorful screen. It is bright and looks nice.
Selected Gesture navigation during installation. This new way of navigating works very intuitively for me. You swipe through the menus and options and you actually don't miss the physical buttons anymore.
Arrived at the included stylus.
In combination with the screen, the first experience is a bit slippery. It is certainly not an e-ink screen on which you take notes, but a real tablet.
If you are looking for a device purely for taking notes, this may not be the device for you. For me, the combination worked very well.
The ability to sketch with the stylus but also to take notes during meetings is very nice.
The tablet came with me to work and was my partner for a whole day during meetings.
I tried the stylus both with the loaded apps and with OneNote.
First OneNote, linking and opening went fine. Synchronizing the application also worked fine.
Taking notes runs into the limitations of OneNote. This does not contain any smarts such as the AI functions that the built-in and preloaded applications have.
What a nice app Nebo is. Most, if not all, of the tools that are important to me are in the application. Just a thought on paper? Done in no time, including the options to make figures neat. Want to convert your scribbles into neat “digital” text? Also done with an important caveat. Is your handwriting really illegible? Then the “converter” understands this and suggests crazy things. With me he sometimes switched to English and then really lost his way. But if I wrote neatly enough, it works fine.
Conclusion Nebo works a lot more pleasantly than Onenote
The Myscript Calculator 2 application also works very conveniently, as you would expect.
Mathematical formula? No problem. Write it down and the tablet will answer.
A different approach to the same formula or calculation? Scratch a section, adjust and voila, new outcome.
Apply a question mark in the equations to have the tablet search for this outcome. And finally, keep adjusting and expanding any equation you want with whatever you want. This makes mathematics or complex calculations a piece of cake.
I didn't show this function to my son who has just started secondary school and is solving math problems with his calculator.
Technically it is also very nice that you can use two apps side by side in “windows” mode. This allows you to watch a video or do word processing next to the calculator while taking notes.
Super efficient and works great on the screen.
Then watching Netflix at home in the evening on the couch was wonderful.
Top picture and nice sound.
In short, a tablet that I can definitely recommend for daily use. If you are looking for a powerhouse, it is a bit on the light side with 4 GB of RAM.
