Dasung presents a versatile E ink tablet in the Not-eReader 133, which can also be used as an external monitor for a computer thanks to the HDMI input. With an economical and high-contrast E Ink Carta 1250 display, the tablet promises a particularly long battery life.

The Dasung Not-eReader 133 is an Android tablet with a 13.3-inch E Ink Carta 1250 display in 4:3 format that reaches a resolution of 2,200 x 1,650. The screen light shines either warm white or cool white and the brightness can be adjusted.

The 7.9 millimeter thin tablet has a 6,400 mAh battery - not particularly large for a tablet of this format, but since E Ink displays require extremely little power, this should be enough for several days. Charging is done via USB-C at up to 18 watts and a 3.5 mm AUX port is available for headphones. The tablet has a metal chassis and is said to be compatible with numerous apps thanks to Android, but Dasung uses Android 9 from 2018, which means that some newer apps may not function.

A Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 powers the tablet, flanked by 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory. The biggest special feature of the Dasung Not-eReader 133 is the HDMI input, which allows the tablet to be used as an external E Ink monitor for a computer. Thanks to "Turbo Ink Screen" technology, the response times of the E-Ink display should be fast enough for mouse use without issue.

Price and availability

The Dasung Not-eReader 133 is available in China via JD.com; details on international availability are still pending.
