Brace yourselves because 2025 is bringing more digital notepads aimed at boosting productivity. Fujitsu plans to make a mark with its latest gadget, the Fujitsu Quaderno A4C.
The Quaderno line isn't new; it's been around for a few years and comes in two sizes: A5 and A4. The naming, using paper sizes, is no coincidence since the brand targets businesses focused on going paperless.
So, what is this Fujitsu Quaderno A4C all about?
It's a digital device featuring a 13.3-inch colored e-ink display with Kaleido 3 technology. This means it sports the latest in colored e-ink screens and seems to target the ReMarkable Paper Pro head-on.
The Fujitsu Quaderno A4C comes with a stylus that uses Wacom's battery-free pressure system.
Here are its technical specs:
- 13.3-inch Kaleido 3 (color) screen with a black-and-white resolution of 1650 x 2200 pixels (207 dpi, but just 103 dpi for color)
- Capacitive touch layer with Wacom stylus
- 32 GB of storage
- USB-C
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Weight: 368 grams
- Dimensions: 222.8 x 301.11 x 5.7 mm
- Supported format: PDF
Feature-wise, the Quaderno A4C seems bare-bones!
It's only compatible with PDF files, so forget about loading ePub files without converting them first — a bit of a downer.
But remember, it's built for the corporate world. Thankfully, you can take notes on PDF documents, even in color. But if it plans to compete with the likes of ReMarkable, Kindle Scribe, or Kobo Elipsa, it might need a bit more.
It seems like the Fujitsu Quaderno A4C is primarily targeting Japanese businesses, who tend to be pretty traditional. Using a Japanese product to handle important documents might be reassuring in terms of minimizing industrial espionage risks. Remember, Sony has offered similar products aimed at Japan for a long time.
For those of us living outside Japan, though, this device might not be too appealing. It will be available sometime in March 2025 with a steep price tag of $719.99.
