    Onyx BOOX Note Max: Carta 1300 Display Priced at $650

    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.

    The electronic paper technology landscape welcomes two new entrants from Onyx – the BOOX Tab10C Pro and BOOX Note Air3 C. As e-ink technology evolves, these two devices mark a significant stride, offering a blend of performance, display quality, and user-friendly features.

    Onyx BOOX Tab10C Pro: A Blend of Performance and Display Quality

    The BOOX Tab10C Pro, recently launched in China, comes with a price tag starting at 4699 yuan ($642)​1​. This device is an upgrade from the previous Tab10C model introduced in May 2023. At its core, the Tab10C Pro houses a robust 7nm 8-core 2.8GHz Qualcomm processor coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage capacity, ensuring smooth multitasking and ample space for your files and apps.

    The highlight is its 10.3-inch Kaleido3 display boasting a high pixel density of 300ppi for black and white content, and 150ppi for color, guaranteeing sharp text and vibrant images. This tablet also includes a unique 16-megapixel scanning camera with OCR recognition, easing text scanning and conversion processes. The Pen2 stylus, known for its high-pressure sensitivity with 4096 gradations, enhances the interactive experience, requiring no charging and offering magnetic attachment.

    Moreover, the Tab10C Pro promises an improved reading experience with its next-generation Kaleido3 color E-Ink screen designed to reduce blue light exposure by 60% and a 24% drop in Blue Light Damage Factor (BLDF), catering to eye comfort with its TÜV Rheinland certification​1​.


    Onyx BOOX Note Air3 C: A Budget-Friendly E-Reader Alternative


    On the other hand, the BOOX Note Air3 C debuts as a more affordable alternative in the US and Europe, priced at US$499.99 or €549.99. This model offers a similar 10.3-inch Kaleido 3 E-ink display with 300 PPI in black and white mode and 150 PPI in color mode. It is powered by an octa-core CPU operating at up to 2.8 GHz, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, expandable via a MicroSD card. This model runs on Android 12, featuring a 3,700 mAh battery for extended usage​2​.

    Both models reflect Onyx’s ongoing commitment to evolving E-ink technology, providing users with Android-based tablets that do not compromise on performance, display quality, or user-friendly features, all while keeping eye comfort a priority.
