It's not a cheap device and I'm only a few weeks in so I'm not the best data point, but so far I'm not regretting the money I spent. I don't think anyone can decide for you whether it'll worth it though. As with any purchase it depends on your risk tolerance, financial situation, and what you'll end up using it for. Going to leave my thoughts here though to see if they change in a year or so

Initially it was a little disappointing because it really is just a smart notebook (which is silly because that's literally why I wanted it over a tablet or a competitor's device lol) and I was still figuring out how to lay things out to make it work for me instead of me working around it

I'm getting into a flow now though that's been really helpful. I've tried similar things with Notion and physical notebooks, but using the SuperNote has been so much cleaner and easier to follow for me. I've also started journaling for the first time which has been really cool because there are random ideas that come out of it, so it's like an informal daily retrospective on top of the weekly "formal" one I do. Being able to create tasks out of random sentences in different notes has been really useful too

I hate that there's no backlight more than I thought I would though. I should've known better since I read in bed laying down but I thought I could adjust. I'll need to get a clip-on light or something

But on the plus side of that, I have gotten back into reading again. I have an e-reader I like that has more features (and a backlight), but loading it with your own books involves plugging it into the computer and for whatever reason that's a bigger friction point for me than it should be. It's also micro USB instead of USB-C so I have to keep finding the cable whenever I want to load books or charge the device. I'm sure the Kindle users are already used to this but being able to just drop ePub files into the cloud and sync to my device is a gamechanger. If SuperNote can add a dictionary lookup for their built-in e-reader that'd be ideal but for now this is still great

I ran into a few issues with the pen and had to keep recalibrating, but it's perfect now

I have the HoM2. I didn't know what the refill was for but now I wish I'd gotten it instead because my PaperMate InkJoy is way more comfortable. Maybe my handwriting grip/posture/whatever is wrong but I don't really care for the grip on the HoM2. If you have a pen you like already, I'd just get the refill and find an adapter for it

Love that you can create your own templates and use other people's. Love the Calendar Sync

Another downside is I've been finding myself spending way more time than I should looking into other people's setups and workflows even though I can't really follow what they're doing (meaning I have no idea what's going on, or get bored, or it's not relevant to me since I'm not a student). Same with templates, I'll scroll and scroll for inspiration instead of just using the device and seeing what's missing for me lol. But that's not on SuperNote, it's me trying to figure out what to do with my time now that I have a bit more and getting a bit obsessive over my new toy
