The Magic Note Pad includes a stylus that never needs to be charged. | Image: XP-PenAfter trying to woo artists and creative types away from the iPad with its Magic Drawing Pad, XP-Pen has announced a new Android-based note-taking alternative to the Amazon Kindle Scribe and Remarkable tablets.Unlike those digital notebooks, which are appealing because they lack traditional displays, the XP-Pen Magic Note Pad uses a full-color LCD instead of E Ink. The tablet attempts to emulate the E Ink experience with three quick-access color modes, including a black-and-white option.XP-Pen says the Magic Note Pads nano-etched surface reduces reflection and glare while also simulating the feel of a pen on paper. It has a Light Color Mode that reduces the screens saturation to create an experience that sounds closer to how colors might appear on E Ink devices like the Kindle Colorsoft. The Ink Paper Mode discards color altogether. All three modes are accessible using a dedicated button on the side of the tablet.The included X3 Pro Pencil 2 stylus, which magnetically attaches to a dock on the side of the Magic Note Pad, uses the same electromagnetic resonance technology as Wacoms pens, so it never needs to be charged.The Magic Note Pad is available through XP-Pens online store for $439.99 but is discounted for a limited time to $359.99.
