$400 might be cheap compared to, say, a remarkable2, but not if the display turns out to be flat-out mediocre. Then that's $400 better spent on "saving up for a remarkable2".

- johnday 5y ago> $400 might be cheap compared to, say, a remarkable2 A reMarkable 2 costs $399 brand new, so I'm not sure what you're on about.
- avery42 5y agoI think a lot of people missed that only the early adopters batches will come with the pen and magnetic case included: > We will be making the PineNote available for early adopters later this year for $399. The early adopter’s PineNote batch will ship with a magnetic cover (working with an on-board hall sensor, putting the device to sleep) as well as the EMR pen. Following the early adopter’s batch, both the cover and the pen will be sold separately. The Remarkable 2 costs $547 USD with a pen and magnetic cover. So right now the PineNote is ~$150 cheaper, but once they start selling the accessories separately, I'm expecting it to be around $50-$100 cheaper than the R2. Still a good difference, but it's not as competitive price-wise as people think. Edit: Not that price is all that matters, I'm super excited to have a proper Linux e-ink device!
- TheRealPomax 5y agoSure, and then you don't have a pen or a case. So that's not what it actually costs.
- johnday 5y agoIf you had read the sibling comment to your own posted four hours previous, you would have seen that that will also be true of the Pine Note on general release.
