Can Viwoods Beat Supernote or Remarkable? My First Impressions

Video Description

If you’ve been following my e-ink journey — from the Supernote Manta and Nomad to the Remarkable Paper Pro — you know I’ve been hunting for a handwriting-focused device with the fewest compromises. In today’s video, I give my first impressions of the Viwoods AI Paper and the Viwoods AI Paper Mini, two new e-ink tablets that immediately caught my attention. These devices look good, feel premium, and offer a surprisingly smooth writing experience thanks to EMR technology. But as always, there are trade-offs: no syncing between devices yet, a few navigation quirks, and some questionable “AI-everywhere” decisions using older models like ChatGPT 4.0, Gemini 2.5, and DeepSeek. In this video, I walk through the unboxing, build quality, stylus experience, leather and fabric folios, the very clever hidden pen-tip storage, the homepage layout, task and daily planner views, Google Play support, file transfer, and the things that already give me pause. If you’re comparing Viwoods vs Supernote, Viwoods vs Remarkable, or you’re looking for the next great e-ink note-taking device to support your handwriting workflow, I hope this video will give you an idea of what you're getting. 📌 Subscribe to follow my full hands-on review after weeks of real-world use. 00:00 – Why I Sold My Remarkable 01:22 – The “Compromise” Problem 02:06 – Meet the V-Woods AI Paper & Mini 03:05 – First Impressions & Unboxing 04:55 – Hardware Overview & Build Quality 06:33 – Stylus Differences & Writing Feel 07:17 – Folios & Clever Pen-Tip Storage 08:38 – Writing Experience Demo 10:45 – Customizable Homepage & Task View 11:55 – Google Play & App Support 15:10 – The AI Features… Worth It? 15:20 – Major Downsides (No Sync, Navigation) 18:40 – File Transfer & Workflow Thoughts 19:07 – Final First-Impression Verdict 20:31 – What’s Next?
