In recent years, dual-screen devices have been appearing one after another, but the OKPad is a unique device with an LCD display on one side and an e-paper display on the other. It has a 360-degree rotating hinge, so it can be folded completely and used like a tablet, or fixed at a suitable angle and used like a laptop.
You can see what kind of device OKPad is by watching the video below.

The OKPad runs
The screen can also be bent backwards to act as a stand, allowing it to be used horizontally. The LCD display is 8.9 inches and has a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels.
Its dimensions are 226mm x 162mm x 13.95mm and it weighs 790g, making it easy to carry around.
One of the screens is an electronic paper, on which you can draw illustrations and write text using a stylus. The electronic paper is 7.8 inches and has a resolution of 1404 x 1872 pixels.
The OKPad is equipped with an 8-core
It's important to note that the OKPad doesn't run the latest Android version and has lower specs than mid-range laptops, but it does appear to be able to perform common tasks like making video calls on Zoom and making presentations.
It also has a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack, and you can use it like a laptop by connecting an external keyboard.
OKPad is seeking investment on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, and at the time of writing, it has already raised over 15.59 million yen, significantly exceeding the target amount of about 810,000 yen. At the time of writing, the acceptance of super early orders (Super Early Bird) where you can get OKPad for $ 199 (about 32,000 yen) has ended, but early orders (Early Bird) for $ 249 (about 40,000 yen) and plans above that were being accepted.
In addition, technology media Tom's Hardware pointed out that what is noteworthy about the OKPad is not its specs but its unique form factor, making it a much more interesting device than many Android tablets. Even if the early ordering period ends and the price becomes the regular price of $ 398 (about 64,000 yen), it will be price competitive.
