The Verdict

"A masterpiece of industrial design that succeeds in mimicking paper but fails to embrace modern tablet convenience. Refuses to include a backlight."

Should You Buy It?

Buy if you are a tactile learner who needs an analog-feeling distraction-free writing surface.

Skip if you expect a backlight, on-device search, or hate subscriptions.

Critical Analysis

A beautiful trap for people who romanticize focus. The lack of a backlight is a staggering omission. The 'Connect' subscription model is toxic, paywalling basic cloud sync. It is a high-maintenance status symbol for the offline elite.
