    Onyx Reveals Boox Note Max Specs, Launch Date Still Unknown

    Back in October, Onyx gave a sneak peek of a 13-inch ePaper notebook named the BOOX Note Max. This glimpse showcased some important aspects like the display type and size, processor specs, RAM, and storage options. Now, the BOOX website has unveiled the complete specifications for this E-Ink device.

    Display and Design

    The BOOX Note Max features a 13.3-inch E Ink Carta 1300 monochrome glass screen with a flat cover lens. This touch display boasts a resolution of 3200 × 2400 (300 ppi) and supports stylus input with 4096 pressure sensitivity levels, making it feel like writing on real paper. However, it does not include a front light, which means if you plan to use it in the evening, you’ll need a separate light source like a table lamp.

    Performance and Connectivity

    Equipped with a 2.8GHz octa-core processor that remains unnamed, the Note Max utilizes BOOX Super Refresh technology to provide a seamless user interface. It comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage, but unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot for additional storage space.

    The device is fitted with dual speakers and a built-in microphone, but it lacks a headphone jack. Nevertheless, the USB-C port can handle audio output. Other connectivity features include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and OTG support. The BOOX Note Max operates on Android 13, allowing users to download apps from the Google Play Store and it includes split-screen multitasking capabilities.

    File Formats and Battery Life

    This device can handle WAV and MP3 audio files along with various document types such as PDF, CBR, CBZ, PPT, EPUB, MOBI, DOC, and HTML. It also supports image formats like PNG, JPG, BMP, and TIFF.

    Inside, the tablet has a 3,700mAh battery, which is relatively small compared to the BOOX Tab X’s 6,300mAh battery that also features a 13.3-inch screen. On the other hand, the BOOX Note Max has a sleeker profile at just 4.6mm thick, while the Tab X measures 6.8mm in thickness.

    The price for the tablet is set at $649.99 upon release, and it will include a stylus in the package. However, customers will need to purchase the keyboard case, which connects via pogo pins, as well as the folio case and stylus holder separately. Additionally, if they don’t already have one, a charger will also need to be bought.

    In addition to the BOOX Note Air4 C and BOOX Palma 2, Onyx has hinted at a fourth device, the BOOX Note Max. This new gadget will be a part of the Note series and is described by Onyx as an A4-sized ePaper notebook.

    Larger Display

    The BOOX Note Max features a larger display than the Note Air4 C, offering a 13.3-inch screen. Interestingly, this display size matches that of the BOOX Tab X, which is currently available on Amazon for $799.99. However, there is a key difference: while the Tab X utilizes a Carta 1250 screen, the Note Max is equipped with a Carta 1300 E Ink display, similar to the Viwoods AiPaper.

    Powerful Performance

    Under the hood, the BOOX Note Max is powered by a 2.8GHz octa-core processor, complemented by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There isn’t any information about the version of Android it will run on, but the E Ink tablet is set to offer split-screen capabilities and advanced PDF tools to enhance workflow efficiency.

    Sleek Design

    Onyx claims that the BOOX Note Max is quite slim, measuring just 4.6mm thick, and will be available in a light gray color. While it doesn’t include a rear camera, it does support a stylus and comes with a magnetic keyboard featuring a trackpad. Currently, it is listed as "coming soon" on the BOOX store, with a price tag of $649.99 in the US and €699.99 in Europe.
