The Fujitsu Quaderno A4 2nd Generation, a new entrant in the digital note-taking device market, was released in June 2021. This device, designed primarily for freehand drawing, taking notes, and viewing/editing PDF files, stands out for its large format and advanced features.
One of the key highlights of the Quaderno A4 2nd Generation is its display. The device features a 13.3-inch E INK display with a resolution of 1650 x 2200 and 207 PPI, making it one of the few E Ink devices large enough to display full A4-sized content comfortably. It is the first to use the E INK Carta 1250 screen technology, which enhances contrast, refresh rate, and overall screen performance for writing and reading.
The device's display is a flexible electronic paper 13.3 type (equivalent to A4) with a capacitive screen that allows for finger interaction, making it user-friendly and versatile. The touch panel is capacitive and electromagnetic induction digitizer compatible for stylus pen use, ensuring smooth and responsive writing and drawing experiences.
The Quaderno A4 2nd Generation also boasts improved durability with its plastic screen, offering better resistance to drops and scratches compared to glass screens. This can be particularly beneficial for frequent handling and note-taking.
In terms of connectivity, the device supports WIFI, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. NFC support includes FeliCa for screen unlock and NFC Forum Type 4 Tag for easy connection with the QUADERNO Mobile App. The device also has a USB-C port for versatile connectivity.
The stylus pen that comes with the device features side buttons and a tail switch that can be assigned to favourite functions, adding to its versatility and productivity. The device has 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, capable of storing around 10,000 PDF files.
The WACOM screen used for the first time on the Quaderno A4 has reduced pen latency by over 30%, providing a more natural and responsive writing experience. The device also offers five function options: red pen, eraser, highlight, range selection, and enlargement.
Although the Fujitsu Quaderno A4 2nd Generation is not widely available in all markets, it is a high-performance E Ink note-taking device optimized for professionals needing an A4-sized digital paper experience, featuring the superior Carta 1250 e-paper display and a plastic protective screen to balance durability with visual clarity. Its large size and note-taking capabilities make it especially favoured for professional applications requiring large-format document handling, like music score reading or detailed document annotation.
