Video summary in text:
In the video, Voja from “My Deep Guide” shares a personal review of the Boox Note Max, explaining why it quickly became the best ePaper device he has ever owned. Initially cautious due to Boox’s mixed history with 13.3-inch devices, Voja was impressed enough to purchase the review unit after testing it. Unexpectedly, he was able to complete an entire workweek exclusively using the Note Max for reading, writing, and research, without touching his laptop. He describes a transformative “detox” experience from traditional screens after working solely on an E Ink display.
Key features that contributed to this positive experience include its 13.3-inch monochromatic, non-front-lit 300 PPI screen (a unique feature for this size), its solid performance under Boox OS 4, and its affordability at $650. The Note Max excels in Voja’s three primary workflow areas: reading/research (with excellent PDF handling and eye comfort), note-taking and writing (with superb feel and responsiveness), and extended productivity (thanks to Android ecosystem integration and Google Play support).
Voja compares the Note Max to other contenders:
- Supernote Manta: Great handwriting and document annotation but lacks multitasking abilities.
- Boox Tab X: Shares the ecosystem but is hampered by an inferior display and writing experience.
- Remarkable Paper Pro: Good for basic note-taking but extremely limited in functionality and integration
He acknowledges that while the Note Max is not perfect — citing a steep learning curve, unintuitive default settings, unavoidable bloatware, and the need for user customization — the effort to set it up properly results in a powerhouse device.
Voja concludes that the Boox Note Max is ideal for users who need a large, high-resolution E Ink device for serious reading, writing, and research, and who are willing to invest time in learning and tweaking the device to unlock its full potential.
