Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Penstar eNote 2 is a 10.3in e-ink writing tablet with a 300 ppi screen, 128 GB of storage, a bundled leather folio and a pen. It takes second place in this guide at £326.00, which is £396.99 less than the £722.99 BOOX Go 10.3 Gen II, the most expensive device here.
Its own listing does not agree with itself on what arrives in the box. The model name and the box contents field describe two B5 pens, each holding 4 spare nibs, plus a separate 10-nib kit; a bullet further up describes a single stylus with 'an extra 10 spare marker tips' — and calls the device a 'Penstar eNote Pro', not an eNote 2. The 6,500 mAh battery named in the title appears in the spec table only as a 'Battery Average Life' of 2 weeks. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this device, not from any testing we carried out.
