The startup Daylight Computer has introduced the DC-1 tablet, which they call a new type of "computer" that is not addictive or distracting, and is also a healthier device.
The tablet runs on the Android operating system and allows you to install the necessary applications, including Notion, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and ChatGPT.
Daylight Computer has a 10.5-inch Live Paper-like e-ink display with a resolution of 1600×1200 dots and a frequency of 60 Hz. Thus, it is the first device with an "electronic paper" screen that refreshes at the speed of a standard liquid crystal display.
Among other things, thanks to the e-ink screen, this device can also be used as an e-reader for reading digital books. The company also claims that the tablet is more comfortable to use in the sun, and that it can withstand a full day of use on a single charge. The device also has support for a Wacom pen that doesn't need to be charged, but no other specifications were specified.
Daylight Computer DC-1 uses the Sol:OS operating system based on Android 13. Among other things, the tablet has a MediaTek Helio G99 chip, 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM, 8000 mAh battery, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0. MicroSD slot and Type-C port for charging. The tablet weighs 550 grams.
However, the device costs $729, which puts it on par with premium tablets like the new 13-inch iPad Air.
