In a digital world full of hyperactive screens and endless notifications, the Viwoods AiPaper feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s not here to replace your iPad or fuel your next TikTok or YouTube binge.” Instead, it’s designed for something we’re all quietly craving—focus.
The AiPaper is a minimalist digital notebook powered by Android, layered with thoughtful AI features, and wrapped in a sharp, paper-like E Ink display. Viwoods may not be a familiar name yet, but this device offers something even the biggest brands haven’t quite nailed: a tablet that helps you think more clearly, not more chaotically.
Unboxing: A Surprisingly Polished First Impression
The moment you open the box, it’s clear this isn’t just another budget E-ink tablet. The AiPaper comes encased in a clean, minimal cover that feels more premium than expected. Alongside it, you’ll find a USB-C charging cable, a SIM ejector tool, and an unusually generous set of
replacement pen nibs. Even the user manual stands out—it’s black, not the usual white—and while that might seem trivial, it signals that Viwoods wants every part of this experience to feel intentional.
Design and Display: Elegant, Lightweight, and Comfortable on the Eyes
The AiPaper is shockingly thin at just 4.5 millimeters, making it one of the slimmest tablets we’ve handled. It’s also impressively lightweight for its 10.65-inch size. Initially, it feels delicate, but after tossing it into a backpack and using it on the go, it proves itself durable and travel-friendly.
Its E Ink Carta 1300 display is much better than competitors’. Offering a resolution of 2560 x 1920 at 300 pixels per inch, everything from typed text to handwritten notes appears incredibly crisp. The screen doesn’t emit light like an LCD, instead, it reflects ambient light like real paper. That makes it remarkably comfortable to use for extended periods, especially in bright environments or under direct sunlight.
Whether reading PDFs, novels, or manga, the AiPaper delivers a glare-free experience that’s easy on the eyes and genuinely relaxing.
Writing Experience: Close to Paper, With a Touch of Magic
The battery-free stylus, built to Wacom standards, delivers tilt and pressure sensitivity, making it ideal for both note-taking and creative work. The matte-textured screen mimics paper with just enough friction to feel natural.
Tools within the Notes app—like calligraphy pens, markers, and highlighters—are responsive and intuitive. The pen tilt allows for shading, while adjustable pressure settings help fine-tune your handwriting or sketches.
Daily Planner: Centralized Focus That Organizes Your Day
One of AiPaper’s most powerful additions is the Daily Planner. This feature acts as a unified dashboard that consolidates all your activities—whether notes, meeting summaries, idea sketches, or learning materials—into a single view based on the selected date.
Instead of jumping between apps or folders, users can see a timeline of their day at a glance, helping with prioritization and planning. Whether you’re a student managing assignments or a professional coordinating meetings, this planner elevates the AiPaper from just a note-taker to a full-blown productivity hub.
Notes, Templates, and Thoughtful Organization
Viwoods clearly understands that their users are note-takers, planners, and thinkers. The AiPaper includes over 30 built-in templates to match a variety of needs—lined paper, graph sheets, Cornell notes, storyboards, habit trackers, and even fashion design layouts.
Organizing thoughts feels seamless. Notes can be tagged and layered, allowing for better structure whether you’re journaling, mind mapping, or sketching out a project. Even better, the device can automatically recognize and correct shapes—a rough square or circle turns into a polished one instantly.
The handwritten calendar feature is a particularly clever touch. Simply jot down a task or plan, and it syncs into your calendar. Integration with Gmail and Outlook makes it easy to stay organized without switching devices or jumping between apps.
AI That Works With You, Not Against You
What sets the AiPaper apart from other E-ink tablets is how naturally its AI is built into the experience. A dedicated AI button sits at the bottom of the screen. You can tap to type or hold to speak, and the tablet responds using GPT-4 and DeepSeek models. But the real magic is that the AI sees what’s on your screen, so it’s contextual and practical.
For example, you can highlight a section of a document and ask the AI to summarize it. You can ask for an explanation, translate text, or even have your handwritten notes transformed into an email-ready draft—all within the Notes app. It’s genuinely helpful, fast, and, best of all, included with the device at no extra cost.
Unlike some competing implementations, this AI feels far from gimmicky. If you’re a student, researcher, or someone who works with text often, you’ll likely find yourself using it regularly and naturally.
Third-Party Cloud Integration: One-Click Sync, Endless Access
The AiPaper doesn’t lock you into a walled garden. With seamless third-party cloud integration, users can sync files directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive in a single click. Importing documents is just as simple, whether it’s a PDF stored on your cloud or a note you want to back up instantly.
This makes remote work and cross-device access feel effortless, ensuring your files are always where you need them.
Android Ecosystem: Optional, But Empowering
While the AiPaper doesn’t come preloaded with Google Play, it supports it, giving you access to powerful apps like Kindle, Google Docs, Obsidian, and OneDrive. Reading books, annotating PDFs, or managing cloud-based notes is effortless once your preferred apps are installed.
That said, this isn’t the tablet for watching videos or scrolling Instagram. The E Ink refresh rate just isn’t designed for fast-moving visuals. But that’s actually a benefit—it keeps you on task. This isn’t a screen for entertainment. It’s a space for focused work and mindful thinking.
Battery Life: Dependable, Efficient, and Built for Longevity
One of the major perks of an E Ink device is its battery performance, and the AiPaper doesn’t disappoint. With Wi-Fi off and regular writing sessions, it lasts around a full week on a single charge. On standby, it can easily stretch to a month. Heavier use, especially with AI features or frequent syncing, will drain it faster, but it still holds up well by E-ink standards.
Charging is quick via USB-C, and you won’t find yourself hunting for a charger every other day.
Final Thoughts: Designed for Deep Work, Not Distraction
If your goal is productivity without noise or creativity without distraction, the AiPaper deserves your attention. It’s not trying to be everything. It doesn’t chase entertainment or constant connectivity. Instead, it offers a space to think, write, plan, sketch, and reflect with clarity.
Its writing experience is top-tier. The AI tools feel genuinely useful, not bolted on. And the flexibility of Android, paired with a focused E Ink experience, makes it one of the most thoughtfully designed tablets we’ve tested in a long time.
If your goal is productivity without noise or creativity without distraction, the AiPaper deserves your attention.
