BOOX Tablet Note Max 13.3 No Frontlight B/W ePaper Notebook Carta 1300 300 PPI 6G 128G

I use it to read documents and contracts. Look and feel like real paper printouts. Being able to download all Microsoft productivity products using Android os is amazing. A truly productive tool.

Surprised it's only at 3.5 stars right now. It's everything it claims to be.I'm using it as a replacement for my PC, and it's great. I have to sacrifice some speed and function, but it's easily worth the health benefits compared to LCD.

Extraordinario dispositivo. Casi un PC de tinta. Si bien la pantalla es más gris que la del Boox Go 10.3, no afecta en nada la nitidez de los textos e imágenes. Óptimo dispositivo para quienes desean enfocarse en su productividad.

The Onyx Boox Note Max 13.3 is a very well designed and built device. The hardware is excellent quality. The display is very easy to read. The documentation, however, is very poor. The only way to get the users manual is to download it to the Note Max after purchase and receipt of the Note Max. The manual is generic for several Onxy devices. The manual is a poor English translation from Chinese. The icon functions are not well explained.Screen quality:ExcellentBrightness:Excellent, even in bright sunlightDesign:very well designed and built

The media could not be loaded. Update: WARNING! I have now replaced 3 (three) of these Note Max devices. The first one came open-box with a defect of the glass part of the screen. The next one (the one on the video) developed a swollen battery within the return period, the third one also came open-box and already had a swollen battery.The battery swells so bad - it bulges the back of the device. You can easily feel it with your hand, see it, and naturally the device won't lay flat. Obviously, with Li-ion batteries, this is also a fire hazard (remember the exploding Samsung phones?).I am waiting for a fourth replacement, mostly out of curiosity to see if that battery will swell too. But believe me, I will be very careful with it, probably not doing too much with it until I'm sure the battery is safe. There is a limit to how much risk I'm willing to take with a device that will spend so much time close to my face with potential glass shrapnel waiting to happen.Original Review:This is my fourth Boox device, and when it comes to value - it is the worst one.To start with the "good" - the writing feel of the Max is amazing! It's the best you will get from any Boox product. The screen looks great, impressive contrast, and to my eyes its as bright as the Go 10.3.And that's about all the "good" I can say. Now, let's talk about why you should not buy the Note Max:• Ghosting - some ghosting is to be expected with any e-ink device, but the ghosting on the Max is just plain ridiculous. The Max simply refuses to do a full refresh under any circumstances and settings. No matter what you do – you will have visible ghosting, sometimes quite so. The only way to get rid of it is to do a manual full refresh, that’s it.I’ve watched a lot of video reviews of the Max before buying, and while reviewers will talk about the ghosting, it just didn’t appear to be such an issue on camera. But now that I have it in real life – it’s worse than you can imagine, because you’ve probably never seen this level of ghosting before.• Still some Bugs – after all this time Boox has been working on their software, you’ll still find annoying bugs. For example, I write with the toolbar collapsed (and all gestures and hand touch turned off). Yet every now and then the toolbar will just randomly expand itself for no reason. Another issue I have is that the Max is unable to detect the network all my other Boox devices are on. Attempting to add a network manually does absolutely nothing, either.• Battery Life – the battery life of the Max is abysmal. Compared to the Go 10.3, the Max uses up the battery significantly faster, and that’s with wifi and BT off, just simply writing. Yes, writing will drain the battery, but again, it will do so much faster on the Max than on the Go 10.3, very noticeably so.• Kinda Slow – for being one of their latest devices, the Max feels much slower than the older Go 10.3, despite having better processor and more ram. Just simple tasks like opening settings or turning on a feature from the Command Center feel lethargically slow. Too often it tricks me into thinking that maybe I failed to properly press a selection, when in reality I did do it right and the Max was just "thinking".• It’s Big – the A4 size of the screen is not abnormal, but when you add the bezels, the Max becomes a rather large device. Combine this with the thinness, and I’d be scared to take it outside the house. It would be very uncomfortable to use it to take notes in college or during a business meeting – it just takes A LOT of room. Another issue related to the size is that if you have another, smaller Boox device, there will be a size discrepancy between the notes. For example, if you start a note on the Go 10.3 and then open it on the Max, the size of your handwriting will appear comically larger; and vice versa, if you start a note on the Max and then want to continue on the Go – your handwriting will appear lilliputian.• The Price – with all these issues, the asking price is down right astronomical.Overall, the Go 10.3 would be a much better option for the vast majority of people. The ridiculous ghosting and the slow performance will be a deal breaker for most – it’s just hard to read documents with all the ghosting, it’s slow (and just plain too big) for note taking or apps, and it’s too expensive to have so many issues that directly affect the use of the device.That said, I am keeping my Max, but only because my use case is long-form handwriting. I don’t read on it, I don’t take notes, and it never leaves my desk. Having to do a manual refresh when I add a new page is just a minor inconvenience. And the wiring feel is truly excellent. But unless you are a very niche case like me – you will regret buying the Note Max.

When old school meets the future magic happens. Voya posted a 5 hour in-depth review on YouTube. I initially purchased the Remarkable Paper Pro, which was very nice, but was too bare boned for my needs. I liked the color screen and backlight, but now I have full access to the google play store, kindle books, OneNote, Bluetooth, split screen, TV streaming, and the list goes on. People are complaining about ghosting, but I don't find it troublesome. New updates seem to be minimizing the issue. If you can't live without a backlight, just get a sleek inexpensive portable light. The writing feel is very good. Almost as good as the RMPP. There is a learning curve there, but I find it intriguing and rewarding. Oh, and the hardware is dead s3xy! P.S. The keyboard folio is nice, but bulky/hefty and non backlit. My favorite EMR pen to use with this is the Kindle Scribe Premium pen with modified ceramic nib :)
