Both devices have a refresh noise. There's no way around it. I wish I could hear the DotPad X in action, but very few or practically nobody has posted a demo of this. I would expect it to sound like a Monarch, if the cell tech is the same or similar. Even if we consider Cadence louder, the refresh is near-instant. Not as instant as a classic piezoelectric 40-cell, but let me say, itt's no more than .5 to 1 seconds for the entire 4 lines to refresh. This doesn't get longer when you connect more than one because they refresh together, but you do get slightly louder clicks. So refresh rate itself? Cadence still wins.
Then for me the battery is what sealed the deal. Weeks on a charge? DotPad X looks to be 8 hours. A workday's worth, sure, but not much more.
And for sure, this is Cadence gen 1. Can you imagine what this little company from Indiana could do with it if more people saw things this way? How the tech could improve, maybe dampening over time the clicks?
Joe and the rest of their team have been incredible. For repairs, they told me they send you a new unit and you then send yours back. Very prompt at responses too during the day, you're not left waiting on hold.
So if anyoone again asks: "Do you regret Cadence despite its press conference-like noise when refreshing?" My answer is still a resounding no. I love 48-cells in my pocket, sized like an 18-cell.
