Sometimes you have to go high-tech to get that low-tech feel, and TCL\u2019s newest device is proof. The Note A1 Nxtpaper is TCL\u2019s latest tablet-like device to use the company\u2019s Nxtpaper<\/a> technology. Nxtpaper, for the uninitiated, is TCL\u2019s paper-like display tech that applies a matte texture to an LCD screen, reducing glare and blue light. It\u2019s like a screen, but you know, slightly less obnoxious and easier on the eyes.<\/p>\n

While Nxtpaper has been around since 2021 and has made its way into TCL\u2019s phones<\/a> and tablets, this is the first time that the company is bringing the tech to a dedicated notetaking device. With Nxtpaper\u2019s evolution, there are also a bunch of (drum roll) AI features. As tired as some of you may be of seeing AI features shoehorned into your favorite gadgets (seriously, like so many<\/a>), TCL\u2019s AI offerings do seem pretty useful in the context of notetaking and the like.<\/p>\n

\"Note\u00a9 TCL <\/p>\n

Among the features are potentially useful things like handwriting-to-text conversion or real-time transcription, which is helpful if you\u2019re using the Note A1 Nxtpaper in meetings. There\u2019s also an increasingly standard array of AI tools like translation, summarization, and writing assistance, as well as \u201chandwriting beautification,\u201d which is a nice way of saying the notetaker will clean up your inscrutable chicken scratch. This last tool would be huge for me personally, since my handwriting tends to look caveman-like at best.<\/p>\n

There are also more advanced AI tools like \u201chandwriting one-stroke formation,\u201d which TCL doesn\u2019t elaborate on, but I assume is some kind of shortcut mechanism for quickly jotting down words or phrases. There\u2019s also something called \u201cinspiration AI,\u201d which I can only assume is some kind of generative AI feature for producing writing or pictures that I personally would want nothing to do with, but to each their own.<\/p>\n

Like every device with an E Ink or paper-like display, it\u2019s just as much about how things look and feel as it is about what the device does. On that front, TCL says its Note A1 Nxtpaper has a 120Hz display, shows full color, and comes with a stylus that TCL says has around 5 milliseconds of latency, making it (theoretically) suitable for sketching as well.<\/p>\n

One major advantage that the Note A1 Nxtpaper has over competitors is storage. TCL says its notetaker has 256GB of total storage compared to comparable tablets like the ReMarkable Paper Pro<\/a>, which has 64GB. Are you going to need that much storage for taking notes? Probably not, but it\u2019s nice to have just in case. It also has an 8,000 mAh battery, but TCL doesn\u2019t say what that equates to in hours\/days\/weeks.<\/p>\n

If any of this sounds appealing to you, the TCL Note A1 Nxtpaper will retail for $549 and is slated to launch in Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific at the end of February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes you have to go high-tech to get that low-tech feel, and TCL\u2019s newest device is proof.
