Double-screen tablet, retailing for $899
New Dual-Screen Tablet, Kno, Set to Launch Later This Year
Tech enthusiast Sovan Mandal, who contributes articles to our website, has his eyes on the latest innovation in the education technology sector – the Kno dual-screen tablet.
Priced between $599 for the single-screen version and $899 for the dual-screen variant, the Kno tablet is expected to offer a unique and valuable learning experience. The high cost is primarily justified by the advanced technology and educational value, including dual screens designed to replicate the experience of reading two pages of a textbook simultaneously.
The tablets aim to recoup the cost for students by enabling the purchase of digital textbooks at lower prices than print versions, potentially saving money on physical books over time. They also support interactive learning and come with educational software that can personalize and improve the study experience.
According to the College Board's 2010 report, the average college student spends approximately $1,100 a year on books and supplies. By investing in a multifunctional device that both replaces traditional textbooks and offers enhanced learning tools, Kno tablets aim to offset the upfront cost through ongoing savings on educational resources.
The Kno dual-screen tablet features 14.1-inch LED-backlit color displays with a resolution of 1,440 x 900 pixels. It runs on the Linux operating system and is powered by either a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 MPCore CPU or an Nvidia Tegra T200 CPU. The tablet comes with 512 MB of onboard memory, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a headphone, microphone, and a microUSB port.
The device can function as a textbook, notebook, and research tool, making it a versatile learning companion. It is also equipped with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery pack that can support up to six hours of "normal campus use."
Kno defends the tablet's price by stating that e-books cost less than printed versions, and the tablets can pay for themselves within three semesters. Sovan Mandal, who keeps himself updated on the latest developments in technology, agrees with this reasoning, as it aligns with how dual-screen educational tablets typically position their value in the education technology market.
