[tech/article] PineNote is a $399 E-ink Tablet that Runs Linux
From Devi Garcia · Aug 15, 2021
Pine64, the company behind the Pinebook Pro and the PinePhone, have announced a new device: an e-ink tablet.
The developer-focused hardware company say the upcoming PineNote “is one of, if not the, most powerful e-ink device available on the market”. It could serve as an open-source alternative to pricier e-ink tablets like the Remarkable 2 and the Onyx BOOX.
The PineNote has a 10.1-inch e-ink panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, a resolution of 1404×1872, and the ability to display 16 levels of greyscale. The e-ink panel is covered by scratch resistant and glare reducing hardened glass.
Both regular touch and EMR pen input are supported by the capacity glass layer. Pine64 will sell an EMR stylus designed for the device, though any pen that supports Wacom’s EMR standard and is supported by the Linux kernel could be compatible (they expect a list of compatible devices to appear online closer to the PineNote’s ‘regular’ release).
