    Christmas 2018 I'm tipping with delivery times…

    • ablqadir on 15/12/2017 - 12:45

        Its actually handy for taking quick notes and doing stuff that you would otherwise waste a paper for.

    • OSA on 15/12/2017 - 12:46

      Haha, i did get some of the items really quick. But only thing to do now is to keep fingers crossed.

    • Freegs on 15/12/2017 - 23:12

      I bought a couple of the 12 inch ones (8.5 inch ones are just too small). Ordered on the 19th November, received 6th December. Not too bad.

    Handy for keeping the kids busy. Thanks Op!

    • OSA on 15/12/2017 - 12:54

      Handy for keeping the kids busy.

      They'll be adults by time time it arrives. Maybe their kids can use it.

      • GregMonarch on 16/12/2017 - 10:54

        Ordered on the 19th November, received 6th December.

        and…

        They'll be adults by time time it arrives.

        Only if they're rabbits.

      • BargainSpotting on 28/12/2017 - 13:13

        hopefully it will come in as a timely new year gift (referring to 2018!) :)

        How come you got down voted for just saying NP?

        • OSA on 16/12/2017 - 04:51

          Haha, i suppose someone is not liking me bringing the deal :p

    Can you download the work of art off the tablet to a computer?

    • OSA on 15/12/2017 - 13:07
      +4

      Unfortunately no, but this is just a idea scratch pad kind of thing. Only thing we can do is take a photo of the work.

        There are pdf scanner apps now that work all right if your needs are too specific

    • CandyMan on 15/12/2017 - 21:50

      Theres one at aldi that does that

        Get 3M VHB tape instead if you want it to last

          Yeah was just giving Frank something to work on. I personally use the 4991 as you only need a tiny bit and they remove easily without residue.

      fixate gel?

    • froodh on 15/12/2017 - 22:43

      maybe some magnetic tape

  • tsunamisurfer on 15/12/2017 - 13:30

    If only it was rechargeable or used AAA instead of button batteries.

    • Jackson on 15/12/2017 - 14:43
      +1

      Ah that sucks, I was thinking it didn't need batteries. Anyone know how long they last?

      Edit:if vanit below is correct then the battery is only used to clear the screen which should last ages

        The rep said around 2 years atleast

    Eco friendly?! Umm… probably not.

    Interesting product though. Anyone know how it works?
    i.e. is it a touch sensor, microprocessor, and pixel based display; or is it just a pressure-sensitive direct acting thing?

    • majimaji on 15/12/2017 - 14:12
      +2

      I have one. I was going through heaps of paper when I was learning Chinese at uni (you have to write and re-write the characters till you can properly recall them on paper). This seemed to solve my wastage problem.

      I believe its pressure-sensitive. There's no backlight so you'll have to be in a well-lit room. The pen included is a bit small, but since the tablet is pressure-sensitive you can literally use anything to write with - I used my graphics tablet pen which worked great.

      It's really basic, and the one button is to clear the board for a fresh page. There is no memory or 'save'button, so if you draw something, your only option is to take a photo. Anyway, it's fun for what it is :)

    • Vanit on 15/12/2017 - 14:32
      +1

      Hah, nothing so fancy (although its impressive in its own right). All the products like this are non-powered e-ink screens that are pressure sensitive. A calculator battery is needed to clear the screen though.

      I keep one at work (though from a western brand; Boogie Board) and it makes for a great little scratch pad for meetings.

      • truetypezk on 15/12/2017 - 14:43

        A basic model Boogie is not much more expensive from Amazon US when on sale and I am pretty sure it is of much better quality.

        • dangerdanger on 15/12/2017 - 16:19

          Boogie board has battery that is soldered on. This is? Replaceable

          Thats a cool story but i though points couldn't be stacked with offers..

        • ausbob71 on 16/12/2017 - 21:48

          @ninjataki: If you read my post you would have seen that I didn't use the code just some of my points.

    Does anyone know if it has an edit or undo function?

  • TrendyTim on 16/12/2017 - 12:17

    I'll stick with the magna-doodles for my kids (3 and 1) for now (didn't take long for the 1 year old to learn how to wipe it clean), with how rough they are with their stuff i'm sure it'd snap in a few days, and you can get multi coloured screens on some now too.

  • tik tok on 16/12/2017 - 13:58

    It shipped 10 hours from order. Thats super duper fast !! Its another thing to wait for 30 days for it to arrive. But atleast its shipped.
