Notion Ink Adam II tablet, packaging, and dock revealed in slew of images

We saw Notion Ink‘s Adam II tablet in a blurry teaser image that was released back in November, giving us precious few details. This was followed up in May with official details being dropped, as well as another look at the slate. Now we’re getting a better look at the device thanks to a slew of leaked images of the Adam II tablet, as well as its power cable, dock, and packaging. While the page on Behance where it was leaked has since been pulled, we’ve got a gallery of them for you after the break.

The images cover the whole gamut, ranging from the Adam II tablet to the dock and the tablet in the dock, to the packaging and the power cable and adapter. One image shows off the covers for the slate, and another features the stylus, revealing a type of stucco rubber grip. A couple diagrams are thrown in as well of both the power adapter and the packaging.

Some of the images are annotated with ribbons of information, and in them we see, for example, the dual tone leather cover for the tablet. The cover has a smooth finish and a magnetic locking strap, with the outside finish being “smooth” and the inside material listed as plastic. There will be three color options: Cerulean Blue & Smokey Grey, Coal Black & Burnt Umber, and Coal Black & Smokey Grey.

The stylus is designed with a “tapered angular profile,” which – in addition to the rubber grip – is meant to make it easy to handle and to help avoid drops. And then there’s the dock, which can be folded up into what looks like an easy to transport rectangle, with it forming a tri-shape when opened. There’s a shot of the tablet within the dock, as well.

Per the official specifications that were released in May, the Adam II will feature a 10.1-inch IPS display, as well as a secondary black and white display on the side, a change up over the original Adam. The resolution is 1280 x 800. Inside, users will find a 1.5GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, as well as 1GB of RAM. The software is Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

Other specs include Bluetooth, a 6000mAh battery with a reported life of 10 hours on a charge, and a rear/front camera at 2-megapixels. Price hasn’t been revealed yet, but reports have surfaced saying the previously rumored $220 tag was wrong.

Notion Ink Adam II teased in official blurry photo

Today we’ve got our first vision of the next-generation tablet breaking away from the original Notion Ink Adam in one very blurry photo. This photo was taken by none other than the official Notion Ink team and posted to their twitter, appearing here to be a rather forward-thinking machine with little more than a white back and a silver metallic border. If the original Adam is any indicator of the possible success of the second, we’ll again be seeing a rather enticing-looking device released halfway through 2013 with specifications from 2010 and tech support from 1998.

Though the hardware does look nice and thin, the logo rather nice as well, we must remind you, the consumer, that the first unit had more than its fair share of drawbacks. It was made rather clear by the creators of the original Adam that they wanted to portray themselves as a forward-thinking tablet-making company, but did not follow through with support for those that purchased a unit in the end. In short: buy at your own risk.

Check the post Notion Ink Battles Insinuations of Unevenly Bright Screens, Broken Cameras, Customer Service Stalls to see the full story. SlashGear has had one-on-one discussions with many dissatisfied customers as well as the designer of the Adam logo you see on this device – this designer was never paid for his work, nor were any of the participants in the original logo creation contest compensated for their efforts.

Be sure also to check the post “Notion Ink Customer Service Purposely Stalling Past 7 Day Return Period?” over on Android Community to see exactly what users were dealing with on the first release. We must hope that the folks behind this second unit show a more responsible approach this time around. Stay tuned for more as this next generation Adam II becomes more real!
