It would be great for reading HN, coding, writing if I could use it with a browser.
I do all these in the browser and I only need black and white and no fancy tools. So even if the browser is much slower than on a desktop, it would still be great.
Phenomenal news. I’m hoping competition drives prices down. Remarkable 2 looks neat but so expensive. Now there’s choice.
R2 is $399, judging from the EUR retail price of €499 inc. VAT this will likely retail at $499 in US.
It is not cheaper than R2.

Most of the expense on these e-ink tablets comes from the huge cost of that screen, so unless Huawei is willing to subsidize this product and monetize your private data instead, I doubt this will be significantly cheaper than the competition. Regardless of price though, I'm not willing to out my private data on Huawei devices.
Are there no other companies apart from e-ink?

You’ve got to be careful about this when comparing prices of different products, because they include different things. It sounds like Huawei’s will include a stylus and cover for that price, which does make it a little cheaper than reMarkable’s equivalent bundle.

I didn't knew that one, thanks!
Someone else has mentioned the Boox Note Air. I'm kind of hoping Amazon create one, and use ebook sales to subsidise the hardware cost.
Amazon doesn't really seem to subsidize ereader hardware except maybe in countries where they are "losing" like Canada. Like compare what you get with a Boox Leaf or Boyue P78 for the price of a Kindle Oasis.

There's already been choice in the 10.3" eInk note pad segment, Kobo Elipsa, Fujitsu Quaderno, Boox Note and Note Air, Likebook P10W, Supernote A5X, etc. It's just such a niche thing combined with most of the devices being Asian focused and remarkable heavy online marketing that makes them seem like the only option.
RRP €499 (around $558) according to https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/28/22954498/huawei-matepad-p...

Soon: https://www.pine64.org/pinenote/ Also I want to recommend this one: Onyx Boox Nova3 Not so wallet gardened, and with a modern Android (so you could use google maps, openstreet maps or whatever among many other things)
Eagerly waiting for it to become stable enough, and possibly the announcement of a bigger screen version. I'm not a mole, although I wear glasses, but books with diagrams and schematics need bigger screens not to be forced to zoom back and forth. I would also like a cheaper and bigger reader-only version, that is with no hardware/software to take notes, reduced eMMC storage in favor of external uSD cards, and good network integration supporting both NFS and CIFS. It would be nice for users who either bring their books on a uSD card, or would use the reader in a lab where most documentation files are already shared via local WiFi network.

what about all the chinese people then? why would they want to use a google device over a huawei device?
shouldnt the discussion be about no company being able to harvest data in the first place, then we wouldnt be having this discussion about nationalities of the overlords
