Montblanc is a name you’d usually associate with luxury pens, fine leather, and timeless design. But now, the century-old brand is going from pens to pixels—stepping into the world of E-Ink tablets. And that’s not just unexpected, it’s actually really fascinating.
Because unlike other pen makers that offer digital accessories, Montblanc is the first legacy company to fully enter the space with its own custom-built tablet and stylus combo. It’s luxury gone digital—and with a price tag that makes you wonder if it’s meant for CEOs only. Their first E-Ink device promises to blend the elegance of traditional handwriting with modern tech.
But does it actually deliver a premium note-taking experience—or is it just a luxury badge on average hardware? Let’s take a close look.

🖖WHO AM I
I’m Chalid, and I’ve been a fan of e-ink technology for a very long time. I’ve been reviewing e-ink devices since 2010. After more than 100 different e-reader tests for my German website, this channel is dedicated to sharing my experiences with the latest e-readers, other e-paper devices, and sometimes other tech in English as well.
