Video summary in text:
The reviewer offers a detailed assessment of the Boox Note Max E-Ink tablet after extended use, highlighting both its strengths and shortcomings. They praise the device’s excellent layout capabilities, robust build, thin profile (4.6 mm), and large, scrollable canvas, which is ideal for referencing full-size PDFs and study materials like Dante or classic texts. The split-screen feature and the high-contrast Carta 1300 E-Ink display with BSR (Book Super Refresh) make multitasking and fast-refresh reading highly effective.
Despite its strengths as a desktop typewriter and reference tool, the Note Max’s large size makes it impractical for frequent travel or switching workspaces. The reviewer notes Android’s limitations as a productivity platform and criticizes the bundled keyboard case for its poor build quality, functional design issues, and price. Although the device can serve as an external monitor and offers impressive responsiveness via its Snapdragon 855 processor, some screen inconsistencies and ghosting remain concerns.
In conclusion, the Boox Note Max excels at reading, note-taking, and writing—especially as a desk-bound reference tool. While its open Android system allows for extensive customization, it may be excessive for basic E-Ink use. Nonetheless, for those seeking a powerful and flexible E-Ink setup, it remains a strong contender.
