BOOX Note Air2 ePaper Paper Tablets

Product Information

Therefore, after reading from the glowing screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. The attractive green hue is further enhanced by orange accents on the rear of the device and on the front logo.

The game is afoot with e-ink tablets tumbling onto the scene these last couple of years, and the latest to land at Tech Advisor for review is the Boox Note Air 2 Plus from Onyx. BOOX has delivered what other e-ink writing tablets could not for me, which is parity with my existing process and workflow. Compared side by side, the Elipsa turns pages slightly more quickly and its front light is slightly bluer and brighter. They mention that it is very slow and clunky to use, and it takes a long time to boot up, load apps, and spend a lot of time waiting. And while you can download audiobooks and podcasts to the Note Air 2 Plus, it makes little sense to use it for audio files instead of your phone.Smart, stylish, premium and powerful for an e-ink tablet, the Boox Note Air 2 Plus is as good as it gets when it comes to 10in E Ink slates that need to run third-party apps, even if it isn’t as streamlined or refined as some competition. Built-in various small utility programs and multi-language support, adding smooth new X high-speed refresh technology, easily integrated into your life; only 445g light, even used in various occasions can be easily used: travel, meeting, study, Presentation, sketching, etc.

The absence of flickering frontlight and the principle of image formation using the "electronic ink" method makes reading eye-friendly. And, while the Note Air 2 Plus isn’t as speedy to load up or respond as my iPhone – and I wouldn’t expect it to be – it doesn’t feel arduous to navigate the menus or enter a password, for example, which is a massive improvement over my experience with the MatePad Paper. Regal is a screen mode that allows to reduce the number of artifacts on the E Ink screen when it is partially refreshed.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Don’t be afraid to not have perfect answers we want to flag what positive work is being done and will always factor in forward-looking statements where possible.

It enjoys orange accents that add pop to the package, and all things accounted for, styling is one of the tablet's best qualities. In Evernote, another officially supported app, I didn't see those pauses, but sometimes the pen would drop strokes. Onyx gets its inking absolutely right in the built-in reader and note-taking apps—there's not a lot of delay there—but you don't get a sense of a ton of power from this tablet.It has the same spine down one side for holding it in one hand (something that works really well) and is similarly bereft of any buttons. Boox release regular software updates, and although they launch new products every year, they still provide support for older devices for several years. As for clarity, with a resolution of 1404 x 1872, the Note Air 2 Plus is crisp, sporting 227 pixels in every inch of screen (PPI), not much less than the iPad Pro (265PPI), and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (240PPI). Onyx has improved both the pen magnet and case adhesion by adding magnets to the back – a huge improvement on both counts. It feels more textured, less slippery, and more tactile than the Apple Pencil on an iPad screen or an S Pen on a Galaxy S21 screen.

Inside is a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor with 8 cores/2GHz and 4GB of RAM, which is all a slight improvement on the Note Air. The new glass made it possible to abandon additional frame edges, so the screen is located flush to the body of the device. It’ll run the Kindle app and display your eBooks and PDF files, as well as work as a great digital notepad – no problem.

It was a breeze to use, reminding me very much of the experience of using my Kindle, and most folk will have no trouble at all becoming familiar with the format quickly. inch e-reader, which perfectly replicates the high performance of BOOX e-readers, increases battery capacity, and extends battery life.
