I currently use a normal tablet for watching lectures + taking notes in splitscreen mode, but I’ve been thinking that this would be the ideal device for my workflow. Essentially a hinged, dual-pane tablet with stylus support – prefarably with Android. Does anyone know if something like this exists, or if there are any tablets that I can buy a second hinged screen for?

    So, I thought I bought this… It’s a kickstarter called the OKpad. Word of warning: it is not OK.Run screaming! The e-ink bit? No backlight, no rotation, no keyboard. The LCD bit? Meh. Takes a day and a half to charge, runs out in three or four hours. Runs out while plugged in! Four releases back on Android. So, yeah, OKpad sucks.

      I read a review with 3.8/5 rating on a e-reader review website:

      This means the device is essentially a hodgepodge of leftover parts glued together with some of the biggest bezels we’ve ever seen. The top tablet is pulled from the bottom of the bin, so it is maxed out at Android 10 and cannot be updated.

      Cons

      • Absolutely zero dual-screen applications
      • Old tablet and old e-reader screen
      • Stock Pen is terrible
      • Only Supports Android 10

      With a review like that they still give 3.8/5??? Sponsored much, huh? It should be 1/5

        When it wouldn’t charge, I assumed I had a defective unit, so I emailed them and got no response. Posted on the kickstarter page, nothing. Straight onto the “I’m never using this but can’t bring myself to chuck it” shelf.

        People, both users and reviewers, have skewed perception on reviews scores since a long time

        I’m not sure how that happened

          We live in the age of EVERYTHING MUST BE RATED 5 STARS! Anything below that, even a 4 star review, is seen as utterly terrible.

          I’ve heard there are places that will pull you in for performance reviews if a customer rates you 4 stars or below. My memory is telling that was in relation to Über, but I may be wrong.
