海外TECH	Engadget	The best E Ink tablets for 2023	https://www.engadget.com/best-e-ink-tablet-130037939.html?src=rss	I ve been a notebook person for most of my life I ve had dozens of notebooks over the years that served as repositories for to do lists story ideas meeting scribbles and everything in between But at a certain point in my adult life I turned away from physical notebooks because it became easier to save all of those things digitally in various apps that were always available to me on my phone I sacrificed tactile satisfaction for digital convenience and a small part of me mourns for all of the half filled notebooks I left in my wake For some like me an E Ink writing tablet may be the solution to those dueling impulses They can combine the feeling of writing in a regular notebook with many of the conveniences of digitized documents E Ink tablets allow you to take all of your notes and personal annotations with you on one device while also letting you scribble with a stylus just like you would with pen and paper Unlike regular tablets and styli though E Ink tablets are nowhere near ubiquitous ーbut there are just enough players in the game to make deciding which one to buy more complicated than you might think We tested out a bunch of the most popular models available now to see how well they work how convenient they really are and which are the best tablets using E Ink screens available today Are E Ink tablets worth it An E Ink tablet will be a worthwhile purchase to a very select group of people If you prefer the look and feel of an E Ink display to LCD panels found on traditional tablets it makes a lot of sense They re also good options for those who want a more paper like writing experience although you can get that kind of functionality on a regular tablet with the right screen protector or a more distraction free device overall The final note is key here Most E Ink tablets don t run on the same operating systems as regular tablets so you re automatically going to be limited in what you can do And even with those that do allow you to download traditional apps like Chrome Instagram and Facebook E Ink tablets are not designed to give you the best casual browsing experience This is mostly due to the nature of E Ink displays which have noticeable refreshes a lack of color and lower quality than the panels you ll find on even the cheapest iPad Arguably the biggest reason why you wouldn t want to go with an iPad all models of which support stylus input a plethora of reading apps etc is because it s much easier to get distracted by email social media and other Internet related temptations An e reader is also worth considering if this is the case for you but just know that most standard e readers do not accept stylus input If you like to make notes in the margins of books underline and mark up PDFs and the like an e reader won t cut it What to look for in an E Ink tabletI discovered four main things that can really make or break your experience with an E Ink tablet during my testing first is the writing experience How good it is will depend a lot on the display s refresh rate does it refresh after every time you put pen to paper so to speak and the stylus latency Most had little to no latency but there were some that were worse than others Finally you should double check before buying that your preferred E Ink tablet comes with a stylus Believe it or not many of them require you to purchase the pen separately The second thing to consider is the reading experience How much will you be reading books documents and other things on this tablet While you can find E Ink tablets in all different sizes most of them tend to be larger than your standard e reader because it makes writing much easier Having a larger display isn t a bad thing but it might make holding it for long periods slightly more uncomfortable Most e readers are roughly the size of a paperback book giving you a similar feeling to analog reading The supported file types will also make a big difference It s hard to make a blanket statement here because this varies so much among E Ink tablets The TL DR is that you ll have a much better reading experience if you go with one made by a company that already has a history in e book sales i e Amazon or Kobo All of the titles you bought via the Kindle or Kobo store should automatically be available to you on your Kindle or Kobo E Ink tablet And with Kindle titles specifically since they are protected by DRM it s not necessarily the best idea to try to bring those titles over to a third party device Unless the tablet supports reading apps like Amazon s Kindle or the Kobo app you ll be limited to supported file types like ePUB PDF MOBI JPEG PNG and others Third most E Ink tablets have some search features but they can vary widely between models You ll want to consider how important it is to you to be able to search through all your handwritten notes and markups I noticed that Amazon s and Kobo s E Ink tablets made it easy to refer back to notes made in books and files because they automatically save on which pages you took notes made highlights and more Searching is less standardized on E Ink tablets that have different supported file types but their features can be quite powerful in their own right For example a few devices I tested supported text search in handwritten notes along with handwriting recognition the latter of which allows you to translate your scribbles into typed text The final factor to consider is sharing and connectivity Yes we established that E Ink tablets can be great distraction free devices but most manufacturers understand that your notes and doodles aren t created in a vacuum You ll likely want to access them elsewhere and that requires some form of connectivity All of the E Ink tablets I tried were WiFi devices and some supported cloud syncing companion mobile apps and the ability to export notes via email so you can access them elsewhere None of them however integrate directly with a digital note taking system like Evernote or OneNote so these devices will always be somewhat supplementary if you use apps like that too Ultimately you should think about what you will want to do with the documents you ll interact with on your E Ink tablet after the tablet portion is done Best for most reMarkable The latest reMarkable tablet isn t topping our list because it s the most full featured or even most interesting E Ink tablet we tested Rather it provides the best mix of features people will find useful in a device like this We ll get into them all but first it s worth mentioning build quality The reMarkable weighs less than one pound and is one of the sleekest E Ink tablets we tried It has a inch monochrome digital paper display that s surrounded by beige colored bezels with the chunkiest portion at the bottom edge where you d naturally grip it There s a slim silver bezel on the left side which attaches to accessories like the folio case and the new Type Folio keyboard Hats off to reMarkable for making an E Ink tablet that feels right at home with all of your other fancy gadgets Let s start with the writing and reading experiences on the reMarkable both of which are great From the get go scribbling doodling and writing was a breeze We tested out the Marker Plus which has a built in eraser but both it and the standard Marker are tilt and pressure sensitive pens and require no batteries or charging I observed basically no lag between my pressing down onto the reMarkable s screen and lines showing up The latency was so low that it felt the closest to actual pen and paper But I will say that this is not unique among our top picks in this guide almost all of the E Ink tablets we tested got this very crucial feature right When it comes to reading the reMarkable supports PDFs and ePUBs and you can add files to the device by logging into your reMarkable account on desktop or via the companion mobile app on your phone You can also pair your Google Drive Microsoft OneDrive or Dropbox account with your reMarkable account and access files that way as well That should be good enough for anyone who say reads a lot of academic papers or reviews many documents for work It ll be harder for people who purchase their ebooks from online marketplaces like the Kindle or Kobo stores but there are other options for those Another fun way to get documents onto the reMarkable is via the Read with reMarkable extension for Google Chrome After installing it and pairing your reMarkable account you ll be able to send articles you find online directly to your reMarkable so you can check them out later You can even customize these files to be sent as text only which will let you change their format directly on your reMarkable or as a PDF file Regardless of which you choose you ll be able to mark up these articles as you would any other file on the E Ink tablet I used this extension a lot and I did enjoy reading longform articles on the reMarkable more than on my iPhone Being able to underline highlight and otherwise mark up those stories was more of a bonus than a necessity for me but for others who glean sources from online materials will be better off for it Overall it s pretty easy to get files onto the reMarkable and it is possible to access them elsewhere when you may not be able to whip out the E Ink tablet Those with a reMarkable Connect subscription will have the best experience and it s a nice perk that you get a one year membership when you buy one The per month subscription provides the ability to edit existing notes and take new ones from anywhere using the desktop and mobile apps plus unlimited cloud storage and syncing On that last front if you don t pay for Connect only notes and documents synced online in the last days will be available in reMarkable s companion apps I suspect days worth of document syncing will be enough for some but not power users Putting the ability to take notes anywhere behind a paywall is a bit of a bummer no matter what and makes it much harder for anyone to use the reMarkable ecosystem as their main note taking space That said I kept most of my testing to the reMarkable itself and was impressed by its ability to be a digital notebook without a steep learning curve You can create different notebooks and quick sheets to organize your handwritten notes and folders to make sense of imported files You ll find eight different brush types with which to mark up documents and take notes along with customizable line thicknesses and colors which just show up as shades on the tablet itself You can even type wherever you want in a doc and the reMarkable can translate handwritten notes into machine readable text with surprising accuracy It was no shock that the reMarkable ended up having the best mix of features along with a relatively low learning curve The company was one of the first on the scene with a truly viable E Ink tablet back in and they ve been refining the experience ever since But that comes at a cost the reMarkable isn t the most expensive E Ink tablet we tested but it s not cheap either The tablet alone will set you back and then you ll have to shell out either or for the Marker or Marker Plus respectively In all you re looking at for the best version of the reMarkable you can get and that assumes you skip the new Type Folio Keyboard You could get a th gen iPad and the st gen Apple Pencil for the same price and you d have a more flexible duo purely based on the capabilities of iOS But you re probably not considering an iPad for a specific reason whether that s your love for E Ink or the feeling of pen to paper writing or you simply want a more distraction free experience If you re looking for an E ink tablet that will not take ages to get used to offers a stellar writing experience and makes it relatively simple to access notes elsewhere the reMarkable is your best bet Best e reader E Ink tablet Amazon Kindle ScribeYou really have two options in this space the Amazon Kindle Scribe and the Kobo Elipsa E The Scribe edged out the Elipsa E purely because of its low latency pen and screen combination The Elipsa has its merits which we ll get into in a bit but it just couldn t compete with the Scribe when it came to a seamless and smooth handwriting experience We already gave the Kindle Scribe the full review treatment and in general I enjoyed it while testing it out for this guide too As mentioned there s little to no latency when writing on the Scribe with its companion pen Thanks to the latest software update you also have more brush types to choose from now including fountain pen marker and pencil which add to the charm Like other E Ink tablets the Scribe makes it easy to create multiple notebooks and you can add pages to them and change up their templates if you wish As an e reader the Scribe shines not only thanks to its inch display with auto adjusting front lights but also because you have Amazon s entire ebook store at your fingertips If you get most of your reading material from Amazon or subscribe to Kindle Unlimited you ll be able to jump right into all of your titles instantly on the Scribe In addition the Scribe can connect to Audible via Bluetooth It s also easy to get ebooks from your local library and read them on a Kindle This will be crucial not only for voracious readers but especially for students who buy or rent digital textbooks and those who consume books regularly for research purposes I thought about students a lot when using the Scribe I started college in two years after the first Kindle was released and one year before the first iPad came out Getting textbooks digitally really wasn t an option for me but I can understand the appeal a note taking device like the Kindle Scribe would have for students It s arguably even better than a standard Kindle because its bigger screen size which will make it less tiring to stare at for long periods of time Adding the ability to take handwritten notes while you re studying is icing on the cake However Amazon s execution of book notes is not my favorite You actually cannot take notes in the margins of Kindle ebooks Instead you press and hold the pen s tip on the screen to highlight text or add a note to a particular word or phrase If you do the latter a window pops up on the bottom half of the screen where you can either take a handwritten note or type a text note using the Scribe s mildly frustrating and sluggish on screen keyboard Amazon recently rectified this a bit with a software update that allows for direct on page writing in certain Kindle books The Kindle Store now has a section that showcases quot Write on Books quot which is currently mostly made up of journals and game books that feature puzzles like crosswords and sudoku This is certainly a step in the right direction but it means you still won t be able to mark up your favorite fiction and non fiction books until they support the new feature This is where I give a nod to the Kobo Elipsa E where you can write notes in the margins underline circle and otherwise mark up your reading material It s a more natural and fun experience since it mimics what you d do if you were reading a physical book It s a shame that the latency on the Elipsa was just a hair more noticeable than that of the Scribe If it weren t for that it might have beaten Amazon s device here What that extra bit of latency translates to in practice is handwriting that can come out just a bit messier and that increases precipitously the faster you write But that also means that you ll notice this the most when taking notes longhand on the Elipsa if you re primarily using an E Ink tablet to mark up documents it won t affect you as much Despite that I did like the way Kobo executed notebooks on the Elipsa You can have a standard notebook where you can write and scribble away or an advanced notebook that supports handwriting to text conversion and inserting things like diagrams and formulas Text conversion is actually pretty accurate too even when dealing with some of my ugliest handwriting Kobo also has a pretty sizable ebook marketplace so it s certainly a decent option if you want to stay clear of the Amazon ecosystem But Amazon has the upper hand when it comes to price The Kobo Elipsa E pack that includes its stylus is while the GB Kindle Scribe with the premium pen which includes dedicated eraser and shortcut buttons comes in at Even if you max out the Scribe with GB of storage you d only spend more than you would on the Kobo Elipsa That combined with the Scribe s strong overall performance and the ubiquity of Amazon s ebook offerings will make it the better choice for most readers Best E Ink tablet for note taking Supernote XI spent a while testing all of these E Ink tablets and the Supernote X is the one I was consistently most excited to use As a notebook nerd I find this thing so cool Available in inch what I tested and inch sizes the Supernote X has a FeelWrite screen protector that has a different feel than a standard E Ink screen When writing on it with Heart of Metal Pen which is weighty and looks like a fountain pen you get a gel pen like feel rather than the subtly scratchy vibe that other E Ink tablets have In fact the Supernote X has one of the best writing experiences out of any tablet I tested The Supernote X supports a range of file formats including PDF ePUB Word doc PNG and JPG which really opens up the content you can put onto the thing I wanted to see if I could treat it almost like a digital bullet journal and that wasn t hard to do There are built in page templates but I was able to download daily weekly and monthly planner templates online resize them and move them onto the Supernote X using Android File Transfer The device has a dedicated MyStyle folder where you can save files you want to use as templates The most difficult part was making sure I had the dimensions right while resizing the documents Once saved in the right folder I could make an entire notebook out of the templates I had gotten from the internet for free Supernote does have its own app store but there s not much in there and its Play Store offerings are limited to only the Kindle app This device doesn t have a backlight so it won t be easy to see in dark environments But you can download Amazon s ebook app and read just like you would on a standard tablet no you can t mark up books here either Honestly the last thing I wanted to do with the Supernote X was read though The device really shines as an E Ink notebook and the company clearly put a lot of thought into building a better mousetrap so to speak You can translate handwritten words into typed text but you don t have to do that in order for the software to recognize your handwriting There s a keywords feature that lets you basically bookmark important phrases for quick access later All you need to do is lasso the word press the keyword button and the tablet s software will translate your writing into typed text Then you can add it as a keyword and quickly jump back to it from the left side tablet of contents menu Similarly you can bookmark titles and add stars to pages that are important all of which help you jump between important bits That said the Supernote X sometimes felt a little inconsistent The writing experience was top notch but there were other things that felt a little less polished For example you can swipe down on the right bezel to bring up a menu that lets you quickly navigate between favorited notes and recent documents that s quite thoughtful But then the Files page just has a couple of starkly named folders like Export Screenshot and Inbox that I didn t touch once and the pen sidebar has more options than most people will know what to do with and none of them have text labels These are small nit picks but they go to show that the Supernote X might not be the best device for tech novices There is a learning curve here but notebook nerds like myself will be thrilled with all that the Supernote X has to offer Unsurprisingly all those advanced features come at a steep price the A sized tablet with a folio and pen will set you back at least making it the most expensive set on our list Honorable mention Boox Note Air PlusIf you removed some of the notebook specific features from the Supernote X and added in a more complete version of Android you d get the Boox Note Air Plus Boox makes a number of interesting E Ink devices and the Note Air Plus is the one that best compares to the others on our list thanks to its inch display This is an E Ink Android tablet so that means you can actually download Android apps like Kindle Kobo and others There s even a web browser and yes you can watch videos on this thing too Of course just because you can do all of that doesn t mean you should E Ink screens are truly best for reading and writing so I didn t spend much time binge watching YouTube on the Note Air Plus but I was happy that I had the freedom to do so Really the utility of Android comes in with the app store and I expect that most people will use it to download all of their favorite reading and writing apps Much like a standard tablet the Note Air Plus will be a great option for anyone that gets their reading material from a bunch of different places ーand since you can manually transfer documents from your computer to the device too it s far and away the most versatile option on our list I experienced little to no latency when writing on the Note Air Plus and I was happy with the number of brush options it has Like the Supernote X it comes with a bunch of page templates you can use or you can bring in your own PDFs and other documents to use as templates There s an AI recognition feature that translates a whole page s handwriting into typed text and it s actually pretty accurate Though it did consistently confuse my amp for a capital A I also appreciated that you can add other kinds of material to your notes including web pages and voice recordings and share notes as PDFs or PNGs via email Google Drive and other services Features like those ensure that with this partially analog device you don t miss out on some of the conveniences that a true digital notebook system would have Instead of going into all of the features the Note Air Plus offers I think it s most useful to talk about the value of this device A bundle with the tablet a standard pen and a folio case comes in at putting it on the higher end of the price spectrum among the devices we tested But considering it s a full Android tablet that doesn t seem absurd Those who want to avoid distractions most of the time while still having access to email and a web browser might gravitate towards a device like this Also most of Boox s devices operate in the same way so you do have more affordable options if you like this blueprint For example the Boox Nova Air is a inch version of the Note Air Plus with slightly different RAM and storage specs to match and its bundle comes in at This article originally appeared on Engadget at	2023-09-20 14:40:06
海外TECH	Engadget	GoPro Hero 12: Everything you need to know about all the new features	https://www.engadget.com/gopro-hero-12-review-new-features-143039315.html?src=rss	So there s a new GoPro in town Maybe you saw a bunch of new features and wondered if the new camera is worth the upgrade from an older model Maybe you want to know if it s a better fit than a rival camera like DJI s Action Here we ll go through everything that s new with the Hero and hopefully by the end of it you ll feel ready to make an informed decision There are some useful new tools some neat hardware tweaks and of course an important aesthetic update this time around All of which we ll get to below Battery lifeOkay deep breath for this one as there s a bit to unpack Battery life has always been a bit of a pain point for action cameras Their smaller form factor exposure to different and high performance needs shooting K slow mo and so on means they are constantly battling basic physics GoPro s claim then that the Hero offers x runtime will have seen even the most ragged of outdoor filmers crack a smile But remember runtime isn t the same as record time What we re seeing here is an extension of the amount of time the camera can run at high power drain modes before it reaches its thermal limit and has to stop So the claim is really that you should get about twice the recording time at the most demanding settings If you re shooting at good ol p for example battery performance is only extended by a few minutes Photo by James Trew EngadgetTo test this I pitted the Hero against the Hero in two scenarios each at the opposite ends of the intensity spectrum On the high end we set the cameras to record at K while walking with the camera on a standard grip On the other end of the scale we recorded a basic video for as long as the camera could Both were performed outside to allow for airflow which is what the camera was optimized for In the K tests I was surprised to see there was no noticeable difference between the Hero and the Hero with the same settings I repeated the test a couple of times and the was only able to best the by about five minutes On one occasion the Hero actually outlasted the Hero The average duration for one continuous video was minutes Other outlets and reviews have had more success here so I m currently speaking with GoPro to see what might be causing this disparity in results The p tests were also comparable with both cameras lasting around an hour and a half which is expected as GoPro doesn t claim large advances in battery life at these settings Bluetooth audioI don t think anyone was expecting this one but it s a pleasant surprise nonetheless Using a microphone with a GoPro typically involves using the Media Mod which is usually an additional purchase Even with that going wireless requires having a compatible microphone With the new Bluetooth capability you can use the AirPods or other Bluetooth headset that you may already own I wouldn t recommend using a microphone over Bluetooth if you can avoid it as they re typically designed for calls rather than delivering a standup to camera That said the quality is good enough for impromptu vlogs and or live commentary as you take part in your activity of choice Either way it s a neat new feature that s really easy to set up I was worried about latency ーa common problem with Bluetooth audio generally ーbut any there might be is barely perceptible This functionality also allows you to control your GoPro from afar using voice commands I might wager that this is equally if not more useful to a lot of people GoPro s voice commands are fairly reliable so it s nice to be able to ask the camera to take a photo from a distance so you don t need to set a timer Likewise you can end a video without having to record those final seconds of you walking back to the camera to press the button All these little time saves add up everywherePhoto by James Trew EngadgetThe big news with the Hero Black was a larger sensor that meant you could do cool things like punch out different aspect ratio videos in K from the same source material That source video was also usable on its own if square ish video was something you needed With the Hero mode is now available everywhere including TimeWarp TimeLapse and Night Effects modes An TimeWarp is a fun addition but the real gain here is the option to shoot in that mode capture every pixel available to you and then have the flexibility to do more with it later For Night Effects for example you could output a vertical version for social media and a one for YouTube and both of them would be in full resolution This is the only new direct video feature this time around which will disappoint some potential upgraders but for fans of those specific modes it s good news Vertical capturePhoto by James Trew EngadgetNow that full sensor recording is available across the board GoPro is seeking to make some of its use cases even easier One such example is vertical capture mode In short since the Hero there s no technical reason why you need to rotate or mount the camera vertically as you can achieve full resolution videos even with the camera positioned horizontally Essentially this feature provides a way to record a video for social media without having to either remount it or to punch it out in via the app Thus vertical capture greatly smooths the process from shooting on the camera to sharing with your followers There s not much more to say here other than it works as advertised and should save a fair amount of time for those who use that aspect ratio frequently HDR video in ultra high resolutionsDynamic range may sound like a technical setting for pro photographers but it s important even for casual users As a camera tries to capture a shot it will assess the lighting and adjust its exposure to maintain the best balance unless you re using all manual settings When there are bright and dark areas in the same shot the camera has to make a best guess To improve on that modern cameras have HDR modes specifically for times when there s a High Dynamic Range HDR In short the Hero Black claims to be better than its predecessors in these situations Technically the Hero is capable of outputting HDR video the Hero and Hero share the same internal hardware but you usually had to do some legwork in post to get there The Hero has HDR as one of the shooting modes right in the menus making it a simple button push to get those more natural tones Photo by James Trew EngadgetIn side by side testing there s a marked difference between the Hero and last year s camera In the same sunny conditions during the day I found the sky was sometimes blown out on the Hero when there were also a lot of shaded areas in shot as the camera tries to expose for both The Hero was able to handle the same lighting conditions without blowing out bright areas or under exposing the shade giving a more balanced image overall Speaking of HDR the GoPro s implementation isn t true HDR in the sense that it captures using the BT HDR color space ーi e if you plug it into your Samsung HDR TV you won t see it in HDR but just regular TV mode Rather it takes two images of each frame in quick succession ーlike bracketing on a photo camera ーone exposed for shadows and one for highlights and combines them into a single image The end result is more detailed skies shadowy areas etc Better selfiesBack in the olden days there was a light hack for getting the best selfie out of a GoPro put the camera into Time lapse Photo mode and grab multiple shots just to be sure In newer GoPros you have to grab a frame from a time lapse via the app as the camera automatically outputs a ready to share video Interval Photo then revives some of that old functionality in a new improved way The basic gist is that you don t need to use a timer instead you can capture multiple photos and pick the one you like best such as the one below where I had all the time in the world to perfectly place my hand on top of the towers Photo by James Trew EngadgetTo prevent confusion Interval Photo is a setting under the Photos menu and not the Time Lapse menu From there you can set a wide range of intervals ーfrom half a second up to two minutes ーand use this with all photo types including HDR and SuperPhoto GoPro s auto mode This differs from a time lapse where the images are processed in a way that prevents sudden changes in exposure between photos for a smooth video That s to say images are optimized for the resulting video With Interval Photo they re standard photos for use as photos with no further processing Night Effects come to photos kinda Another feature that builds on something that was introduced in the Hero is the extension of the Night Effects Star Trails Vehicle Lights and Light Painting to create a photo These three effects use long exposures and witchcraft maybe to create videos with these dramatic light based effects With the Hero you will now be presented with a photo alongside the video There s no extra action required to get this it ll just show up in your gallery automatically What you won t see are any controls or any way to choose at which point of the video the image will be extracted from the image appears to be based on the final frame of the video which makes sense That said in our testing it generally produces good results assuming your video was good in the first place Again you ve pretty much always had the option to extract frames from videos and with the Quik app that s easier than ever before but having one ready for you is another welcome convenience LogSteve Dent contributed the following section GP Log is designed to give creators more control over images by
