After two weeks of daily use I can say this tablet is a HUGE game changer: I really appreciate the easy way to use for handwritten notes and how to send the PDF file via personal area. The most powerful thing that led me into buying this is the powerful built-in artificial intelligence powered by ChatGPT: the really small effort that puts into writing a summary about some content or converting my awful writing is stunning! As a medical student I really enjoy the very few things present in this awesome product: very few things but very well done. In my everyday rotations the weight is so unpercettible it doesn't bother you bringing it from a unit to another.
I definetly suggest everyone who's interested in eInk tablets to consider buying this little tiny super beast!
After using the Viwoods AiPaper for a few weeks, I’ve discovered a number of impressive features that make this device truly stand out. Here’s a summary of what I appreciate most:
1. Sophisticated Design
The device features a sleek and modern design. The main body uses a Mobius E Ink panel protected by a brushed aluminum frame, which not only enhances durability but also provides a pleasant tactile feel.
2. Innovative Cover Design
The protective cover is thoughtfully designed. A hidden compartment on the left side securely stores the EMR pen nib, and the pen holder is placed on the right, ensuring the pen is held firmly while still protecting the device.
3. High-Quality EMR Pen
The proprietary Viwoods EMR pen offers excellent pressure sensitivity, especially when used at an angle—perfect for calligraphy-like strokes. The eraser function on the back of the pen also works flawlessly.
4. Capacitive Touch Buttons
The three buttons on the lower bezel of the device are capacitive soft-touch types. They provide a responsive and satisfying interaction without any protrusion.
5. Compact Size Despite Large Screen
Although it has a 10.65-inch display (one of the largest in the 10-inch category), the device doesn’t feel bulky at all—even with the protective cover on. It looks neat and slim, making me double-check the screen size because it feels smaller than it is—in a good way.
6. Built-In Email Functionality
AiPaper allows email reading, composing, and replying without the need to install the Gmail app or any other third-party service. The built-in email client is simple and efficient.
7. Flexible File Sharing Options
Files can be shared in multiple ways: via the same Wi-Fi network by simply sharing a link, through the Viwoods website by uploading and downloading from your account, or using their dedicated transfer tool (ViTransfer). All options are user-friendly and reliable.
8. Secure Personal Notes and Handwriting
Even when the device is connected to a computer via USB, your handwritten notes and memos remain inaccessible. These personal files can only be transferred through Wi-Fi, the Viwoods website, or ViTransfer, which enhances privacy and data protection.
9. Long Battery Life
The battery life is more than sufficient for regular usage, making it reliable for extended reading and writing sessions.
10. Generous Storage
With 128GB of storage, there's ample room for a wide variety of documents and media. While not as large as a computer's storage, it's more than enough for an e-reader and note-taking device.
Although it’s been less than a month since I purchased the AiPaper, I’ve only had positive experiences so far. Initially, I was hesitant about trying a relatively unknown brand like Viwoods, but the product has exceeded my expectations. I’m now seriously considering getting the 8.2-inch mini version as well.
Getting close to the ideal product. Very useable in a corporate/business context with the ability to link Outlook/Google mail, OneNote etc.
2 things I'd love to see ASAP
- The ability to change around the home page screen. While the Viwood apps are ok, I much prefer OneNote, Outlook etc for work productivity and connection to my extended ecosystem. I'd like to have those apps front and center.
- PLEASE can you separate the To-Do from the calendar. I get your reasoning for not being able to automatically carry forward tasks. However, I suspect the need to do so, is very common. Can To-Dos exist as a separate app that is easy to get to and is not tied to a date?
Looking forward to the evolution and hopefully colour, Mobile Data, Teams/Slack etc integration.
jumping from supernote. viwoods aipaper is great! love the writing feel and the whiteness of the screen. devs are pushing out software updates regularly too.
I especially enjoy the great screen contrast, where the background colour of the display is the whitest across eink devices and the fast software development.
