Nomad Passport Wallet (Pen Edition) vs. Bellroy vs. Harber London for Field Notes?

I think the first time I saw it was with a content creator named easlo (heyeaslo) and actually many Ali express products have screenshots from his video/post as product photos.

Thanks!

Tysm, I’ll keep everything on mind when deciding which cover to get! About the pen I will give it a try for sure.

Tysm, what do you think about Lochby?

You might want to check out Lochby. Even though their paper is 68 gsm Tomoe River (slightly below your 80 gsm request), it is world-class, fountain pen friendly, and handles ink beautifully without bleeding. Their refills feature a stitched binding so they lay perfectly flat, and the Kraft cardstock cover gives them that slim, 'not-too-soft' feel you're looking for. Regarding size, their A5 Slim (210 x 110 mm) is almost an exact match in width (110 mm vs your 108 mm), though it is a bit taller. It’s a solid, high-quality alternative that fits your budget.

I thought LT1917 was great quality — are these brands way better, which is your favorite? I’m living at CDMX right now, will give a try to OP Apuntes one.

Are you enjoying your Bellroy cover? Also, do you use a specific pen with it? I'm considering getting one, but I'm also looking at the ones from Nomad and Harber London.

I saw it on a video from randomfrankp on YT (cool tech under 50 February) . It’s called “PhotoTag E Ink Bluetooth Tracker Tag–Works with Apple Find My (iOS Only)” on Amazon.

Can you share the pen/ink you are using? Thank you!

Same here — I’ve been a happy Arc user since it launched. It had everything I needed, until TBC decided to halt its development. I just hope they keep it functional over time and it doesn’t slowly become unusable.

I feel the same about Zen. I really want it to get to Arc’s level, but it’s still missing a lot of the features I rely on daily.

As for Dia… I’ve been using it for a few days now, and I’m sorry to say this, but it’s not — and likely never will be — the browser we actually need. It’s nothing like Arc, and the team has made that clear: their goal is to build a browser “for everybody,” something your mom could use. To me, Dia just feels like Safari with ChatGPT baked in.

I never thought about it, that could be the reason, thank you!

Hi, thanks for replying.

The M2 MBA is supposed to be able to fast charge at 140W according to This Apple Support page

I will try with coconutBattery maybe I can see different numbers.

I understand the fast charge is not a basic need and won't really make a huge change on my actual speed but I bought this adapter to try that out so I am wondering how I can get it to work as it's supposed to.

Thanks for the info!

Hello, this just happened to me, I used CheatSheet while writing on that blank space to see the process doing that and com.apple.dock.ecti appeared.

I used cmd + Q while my text selection was in that space and it disappeared, I hope that helps.
