Supernote introduced the Manta, which is a new e-ink notebook that is sustainable and highly functional as the brand continues to push creative boundaries. The main focus is its sense of repairability inspired by the unusual creature as well.
It celebrates the fish with the same name and the Supernote A5 X2 has an extremely thin structure measuring only 3.6mm at the thinnest part of the edges and it has 6.0mm measurements overall. Similar to the cephalic fins of the manta ray, the slim tablet slightly flares out where the power button and the USB-C port can be found. This is nestled at the top of the device, which makes it look more like the sea creature.
