Notion Ink Adam finally up for pre-order

Notion Ink Adam

The Notion Ink tablet dubbed Adam has previously been in the headlines for touting to offer 15 hours of battery life on a single recharge. The tablet PC is now finally put up for pre-order, though it has attracted a lot of attention of the tech realm because of multiple bewildering terms and conditions.

Multimedia buffs can enjoy an enchanting entertainment experience with its stereo loudspeakers, a 3-axis accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack and two USB 2.0 slots. Its tech specs subsume a 10.1” multi-touch display, Nvidia’s Dual Core Tegra 250 processor, a 3.2MP AF camera, 1GB DDR2 RAM and more than 8GB flash memory with microSD card support. For better connectivity, the device comes with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, 801.11b/g/n WLAN and 3G HSPA networks.

Interestingly, the Adam hosts a HDMI port, a DC connector and miniUSB terminals in addition to a SIM card slot. Furthermore, its Eden software supports multi-touch keyboard and a clean user interface. The tablet PC ships from China and the company also vows to render global pricing. The Wi-Fi model with the backlit LCD is priced at $375.33 (approx Rs. 16,910), while the Wi-Fi + 3G model costs $425.33 (approx Rs. 19,165). Consumers can select to purchase both the editions with Pixel Qi LCDs for $499.45 (approx Rs. 22,500) and $549.99 (approx Rs. 24,780), respectively.

Apparently, the pre-order system has stopped working multiple times and the shipping terms are said to be a bit strange. Notion Ink is ostensibly not responsible if the shipments are delayed or lost due to natural or man-made circumstances. Although, the tablet is expected to ship within six to eight weeks.

Also, there’s a condition which states that the reshipping charges and a penalty of $10 (approx Rs. 450) will be levied on returns resulting from a wrong address or refusal to pay Customs duty, clearance charges and similar payments. The return policy enabled the company to withhold 5 percent as repacking charges and 3 percent as restocking fees if the Adam is returned.
