Notion Ink Able 2-in-1 price in India is Rs.24,990. The device is available exclusively on Snapdeal. At the time of writing this, Snapdeal is offering 10% discount on this product. Let’s have a quick Notion Ink Able 2-in-1 Review based on the pros and cons.
Notion Ink Able 2-in-1 or Able 10 chassis and keyboard are made out of metal which gives a sturdy feeling. Though metal construction is good for durability, it adds a weight to the device. The Able 10 weighs around 655 grams which feels bit heavy. Edges feels little sharp wheres there is a cut-outs for the ports. There is a labelling for each ports which is good. We felt Notion Ink could have done that with little more finess. Overall, the design and build quality of Able 10 is decent.
Notion Ink Able 2-in-1 sports 10.1 inch IPS display panel with a 1280×800 pixel resolution. It supports 10 finger touch inputs. The viewing angles and brightness are pretty good on this device. The touch response is fairly accurate. Only thing which we didn’t like with the screen is its reflectiveness.
Notion Ink Able 10 is powered by passively cooled 1.4GHz Intel Atom x5-Z8300 quad-core SoC with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. In our review unit, the available user storage was around 40GB. The CPU cores have the ability to turbo upto 1.8GHz. The performance of the Able 10 is pretty decent when it comes to media consumption. It was able to play even 4K videos without any issues. In general usage like browsing, we have not faced any issue except opening heavy websites which consists of lot of graphics.
Coming to the detachable keyboard dock, it is decent. Keys does have decent travel and provides good feedback. The trackpad does supports multi touch gestures for Windows 10. However, at times system failed to differentiate single finger swipe and three finger swipe. This resulted in minimising of all open apps.
The connectivity options on the device includes Wi-Fi b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.0 and 3G. For using the 3G on this, you need to manually feed the APN details. If you insert sim card while device is on, then you need to restart to get it recognised. Notion Ink able 10 comes with 8100mAh battery which in our tests lasted for more than 6 hours which is pretty good.
Notion Ink Able 2-in-1 Review summary: In comparison with other windows 2-in-1s in this price segment, Notion Ink Able 10 excels in most of the segments. Sturdy build quality, ample RAM and internal storage, 3G sim support, solid keyboard, decent display panel, good set of connectors makes this one of the best windows 2-in-1 in the price range.
Apart from this, Notion Ink also provides SWAP warranty. If anything goes wrong with the device, the company will send you new 2-in-1 and later it will collect the non functional one.
Having said all advantages, there is a room for improvements as well. Some of the cons of Notion Ink Able 2-in-1 are given in the pros and cons section.

Last weeks Apple event showcased unveiling of Apple iPad Air 2, iOS 8.1, Upgradation of iMac models and also the iPad mini 3. When there is successor is announced, earlier device gets a price cut. Apple continued the same trend and iPad Mini 2 price is cut by close to 7k. This gives a thought on whether to upgrade to iPad mini 3 or buy iPad 3 instead of iPad mini 2. Here is an attempt to simplify your confusion. So lets have a quick comparison between Apple iPad Mini 3 Vs iPad Mini 2.
iPad Mini 3 Gold
Apple iPad Mini 3 is nothing but addition of Gold Colour option and Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Interms of all other specification it remains same as iPad mini 2.
Display
Apple iPad Mini 3 and iPad Mini 2 with retina display both have 7.9 inch screen with 2048×1536 resolution. As per the data given by Apple, iPad mini 3 doesn’t future Anti glare, laminated display which is introduced in iPad Air 2. This makes the display of both devices exactly same. There is no difference.
Processor
The new iPad mini 3 comes with the same 64 bit A7 processor and M7 motion co processor which is seen on its predecessor. Though, there is no official communication of RAM quantity, it is likely to be 1GB which is same in iPad mini 2 as well.
Build and OS
Both these Apple mini tablets runs on the iOS 8.1 which latest OS available. The thickness also maintained at 7.5mm. All other dimensions and weight remained same. Once again there is no change.
Camera
Once again both iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3 share the same camera specification. i.e 5MP primary rear camera and 1.2 MP front facing camera. The software and image processing features also remained same.
Price
This is one of the segment where there is a huge difference and this is the key point which differentiates between two according to me. As of now basic WiFi only model of iPad mini 2 priced at 21,900 wherein iPad mini 3 is price is 28,900. The difference is 7k.
Verdict: From the above comparisons, we can conclude that Apple iPad mini 2 is much value for money buy. The Gold colour variation and Touch ID sensor is not worth 7 thousand rupees according to me. I would suggest you to buy iPad mini 2 rather than the iPad mini 3 in India as Touch ID based payments are not available in India as of now.
