What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it offers a distraction-free, paper-like writing experience with low latency, in a remarkably thin, well-made design with long battery life. The common criticisms are the high price, especially with accessories, the lack of a backlight and a narrow feature set; Wired also found cloud syncing and handwriting conversion limited.
