The Onyx Boox Note is now available for pre-order for €549.00. and should be shipping out in early February. This device features a 10.3 inch display and is going to heavily compete against the Remarkable Writing Slate.
The Onyx Boox Note features a 10.3 e-reader with a flexible E-ink Carta display. It has a resolution of 1872×1404. The panel is comprised of Electromagnetic WACOM and a capacitive layer, which means you can use the accompanied stylus or use your fingers to interact with the screen or flip pages of an e-book.
Underneath the hood is a 1.6GHZ quad core processor ,2GB of RAM, dual speakers, mic, Bluetooth and USB C. It has a giant 4100 mAH battery and ships with Android 6.0 and has Google Play. The Note does not have an SD card, so you will have to make due to the 32GB of internal storage. The dimensions are 249/177/8x6mm and weighs less than 355G.
This model lacks the HDMI port of the Onyx Boox MAX2, although it is more affordable. The hardware specs are really good, but it remains to be seen if this will be more successful than the Remarkable.
