Meebook M103: New e-reader recognizes thousands of stylus pressure levels and can be used for productivity purposes

The M103 from Meebook is a new mobile device with an E Ink-based screen. The term e-reader does not quite do the device justice, as it has a processor with four Cortex A55 cores, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Android is installed on the device, allowing additional apps to be installed after purchase.

As usual, a touchscreen is supplied, which can differentiate between numerous pressure levels with the included stylus. The electromagnetic pen is said to be able to differentiate between 4,096 pressure levels. Moreover, reading one half of the display and taking notes on the other is also said to be possible. The screen measures 10.3 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 1404 x 1872. The display of colors is not supported, which may be a limitation, depending on the application. For example, reading comics on the M103 is only possible to a limited extent. 

The memory of the 465-gram, 6.8-mm heavy system can be expanded by up to 1 TB via memory card. Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6 are on board. In Asia, the model is available for the equivalent of around $262. No information about a global release is currently available; other e-readers from the company, such as the Meebook M7, are also available via Amazon.
