Im coming close to getting my bachelors degree and notebooks have taken up my life. Ive been looking into e-ink tablets and your videos are one of the most comprehensive and detailed reviews I have seen so far; every question I had, you answered. This really helped me decide which device to invest in so I don't regret it. Thank you so much
Well I got a tab ultra C it's a life changer for work, no more paper notes, digitally one gets organized, the color part allows me to read technical drawings without problems. But mostly the note taking app organizes me thinking through, I rarely type on it, although I do have the keyboard too, I prefer hand writing, usually in a bit thick solid lines of text who I then scale down and reorganize around the page (to make room for more ideas). I was always a strong visual thinker, and its kinda strange that most people are but at school people are not talked or trained on how to become more effective in that, in effect good notes make people smarter, to be free from keyboard, or .doc. or txt or other formats just a digital paper. This apparatus had a great impact on me as a lead industrial developer, read project documentation, read pdf drawings, create notes, create sketches technical or software, form ideas. :) it's almost a human upgrade :)
I'm primarily a writer, and I find that as I age the only ergonomic way to work at a keyboard is at my desk in a proper chair with a nice big monitor. Ergo, more and more I just want my carried devices to be really good at accommodating handwriting, voice commands, etc. vs having a convenient keyboard input. The 3C is at the top of my current wishlist!
Since I’m only in this market for note taking and have that “writing” feel rather than typing. I probably prefer the air 3c. I was first looking at the remarkable2, but due to lack of features, I started to lean on the onyx air.
Great video, Kitt! I've been consuming your content having gotten myself a Kindle Scribe and discovering that I love writing during my work day as opposed to typing my notes in meetings and whatnot. In very short order I ended up purchasing a Tab Ultra C Pro with the keyboard case from Boox directly so I could also get the leather Folio case for free so that I have options for evening reading. Your demonstrations, analyses, and advice were instrumental in sending me down this path and I couldn't be happier. While I'm saddened that the Scribe will end up being returned at this point it is an incredible introductory device and wonderful for anyone that doesn't have a need for linking pages, notebooks, or other media into their notes. Thanks for taking the time and otherwise being inspiring with your more personal evaluation of everything, from life events onward.
I understand where you are coming from now. For your use case, the choice makes sense. My counterpoint, though, is that I am an engineer. Although my principal product is a written report, I still do a *lot* of calculations. Although I could probably do this with one laptop, I really prefer to operate in the Macintosh world but am required to have a PC because of the numerical models I use. I've been using a SuperNote A5x for the last couple of years as an experiment in digital note taking. As I approach the end of the year, I find myself drawn back to a paper notebook because I really like to write with my fountain pens. The A5x offers several advantages (cut and paste being a big one). It's also a little easier to carry all of my project notes along with me (and a few PDFs). But I am unconvinced that the digital notebook offers enough advantage over my paper bullet journal and ancillary notes that it's worth abandoning paper. I won't be using a digital notebook for content creation, given my use case requiring the computational power of a laptop. (R scripts for data analysis and graphics preparation and numerical modeling.) But I can see how it would for other users. Thanks for a thoughtful video.
Excellent side by side comparison. Nice balance of dense useful information and your own personal preference. This video along with your comparison video of Boox v Remarkable really helped me reach an informed decision on what is best for my use case. Going with the Note Air 3C because I want the portrait orientation, and will be using keyboard less than you do. Thanks!
This channel is really, really helpful. Very comprehensive comparisons. With the patches of information I came with, and after a couple of videos and comparisons, I am quite confident the Note Air 3C is the product I am looking for. I will buy it with your link. And also have some friends looking into e-ink devices, so I'll definitely forward them your videos. Congratulations on the great work!
In the end I decided to get a Samsung S9 Ultra with a notepaper protector they sell. I have no plans to connect it to the internet, unless it is to buy apps. Cheers for yourr reviews :)
Thanks for your great reviews! Any idea when the BOOX Note Air3 C will be back in stock? It's not available on the Boox site or Amazon. Or will there be a new version for the Christmas market??
Thanks Kitt, i really enjoyed the video even though i use a SN A5X which I use for work. I am teasing myself watching Boox videos for some reason, especially the colour (I tinker with art when the feeling takes). I like the depth you offer not only technical detail but honest use case scenarios. I like the editing with office/out of office shots. Must be tough to manage with f/t teaching i imagine. Many thanks.
Hehe, many thanks, I've moved to just 3 days a week now, which gives me a time to do a bit more and hopefully better this year! Thanks for the feedback!
I am planning on getting an E-ink device to write my lab book (I’m a biologist who works in a molecular biology / nutrition lab). Currently I write in an A4 lab book by hand and it’s be cool to use E-ink instead and convert my notes to electronic text. I’d also like to use it at meetings and now I’m thinking I’d like a colour device so I can show my colleagues diagrams or plots quickly. Leaning towards the Air 4C but still undecided.
I stumbled upon your wonderfully comprehensive review/comparison by happy accident. As an indie author, this information is exceedingly useful. Due to extensive nerve damage, I find it challenging to stay in one place long enough to be productive, constantly switching between physical notebooks, my laptop, and my desktop computer; this tends to make my editing process even slower than normal. I've been searching for the perfect notetaking/editing device, and this video has been incredibly helpful! Thank you.
Thanks Kit, both yours and Voja's reviews on both these units have really helps me to make my purchase today! I ended up with a NA3C after comparing both unit side by side in a Boox distribution store. The only thing I really miss from the NA3C is the 855 chipset, but I know my use cases are pdf, Libby Magazines, web browsing and social media, maybe some drawings in the future. So really I suppose the portability and less reflective screen nails down the core requirements. And 665 + BSR seems provided enough juice for now. Ya I know I won't be able to PUBG or efootball on it, but I doubt I am gonna use that at all after the first few days fulfilling my curiosity...😅 And I know as long as it's on Android or IOS, it will not gonna be my productivity tool (hence Surface pro is still my faithful productivity goto). Anyway this TabUltraCPro is such a magnificent device and I was really having some hard times to choose between. Again thanks for both of your reviews. Massive effort!❤
Oh, amazing, wish you joy of it! Which store were you able to look at them both in real life please? Yep, the NA3C is plenty fast enough. I'm rarely going to be getting close to maxing out the Ultra. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you for sharing your view and experience, I am feeling that I'll enjoy the Air 3 C more, been looking for something to replace my kindle, to take handwritten notes on, but also read documents en the odd email. I am starting a new bachelors next year, which will involve a lot of reading and writing, but I've already got a Keycron Q1 low profile, so think that'll suit it just fine if I want to get into typing longer thoughts/essays out
I currently use an onyx boox N96 ML I bought in 2016, and a kobo 4 inch pocket reader. I've been waiting for eink tablets to catch up to the vision in my head and they are pretty close now. I used to use a bluetooth keyboard with my N96 and MS Word - but as it is still running on android 4.04, many apps aren't working - so now it is a reading tablet exclusively. I am happy they have the microSD back as I use them to sort my research and your comment about the bluetooth keyboard has me thinking whether I want the Note Air 3 C OR I really need the Tab Ultra C Pro... The price difference is definitely a deciding factor and so is the weight. I use Scrivener writing software on my Macbook Air which does not have an android version, so for now it would be using other apps and importing them into Scrivener later. If my eink tablet weighs the same as my laptop that could be a deal breaker! Decisions decisions!
I considered returning my note air 3C for a note Air 3 but to be quite frank, this tablet has really grown on me. I thought battery life would be a problem, but once you turn off Wi-Fi It can last for days if you're just reading which is what I primarily use it for. I'm not a writer so I don't really use the word processing capabilities of this thing nor really the note taking though I did just recently use it during a meeting and it was pretty useful. Normally I just type out my notes because I'm on my computer anyway but writing them out was definitely interesting. I'm a software engineer and it's kind of difficult to hand write out code but it can be used for more abstract concepts. Anyway great comparison. If I was a writer or a student, I would definitely be looking at the pro.
So very glad you liked the video, I have been editing it all morning! :-) I'm loving having the early evaluator gang around to give me that instant feedback! Thanks so much for being here!
Kit, I have unanswered questions concerning the writing issues & note-taking. 1) What's the lag when you start writing with the stylus? IS there a lag? Makes a diff if you're taking notes, especially during a lecture/talk. If the stylus doesn't work suddenly for a second after a minute's inactivity, you face a hitch every time you put pen to (paper). Not good. I've heard this is a pain: how bad is it? 2) Palm rejection. I'm left-handed, find palm rejection is misery on every writing app I've tried on Android tablet & Windows tablet. IS THIS A PAIN on Boox? Am I going to have to wear a palm-rejection glove? 3) Is note-taking better on either device? 4) You have neglected to address security issues in the vids I've seen. It appears the older Boox is running Android 11 whereas Tab Ultra C is running Android 12. But Boox is notorious (in the past) for not doing much in the way of upgrades. They offer upgrades like a car company: want the new software? Buy a new car. On IT gear this is unacceptable. I gather the Note Air 3 is 30 months out of date in security upgrades. The Tab Ultra C will be more up-to-date, but still WAY behind the market. What's the point of buying a mission-critical device for note-taking if it's at huge risk of being bricked by a virus? You use these things as mission-critical. What's your take on the security issue? 5) Are there significant differences in functionality for note-taking on e-books & outputting to a Personal Knowledge Management System (PKMS) on PC? Do both devices essentially run the same software? Thanks for putting out well thought-out & filmed vids. You do a great job of condensing a lot of info & impressions into a tight timeframe. I'm subscribed.
Glitches with my Ultra C Pro so far: Tablet getting frozen VERY often. I bought an adapter from usb c to hdmi because i am a teacher and need to project. Tried 3 different tvs and 2 projectors. Not able to project in any of them via HDMI Screencast option: SUPER DELAYED more than 10 seconds. That is why I prefer HDMI, no need to rely on wifi or bluetooth and those delays Sometimes my stylus is 1 inch away from the tablet and draws are happening so it is impossible to do sketches or the apps are moving around but i am just trying to draw. The nib of the stylus was damaged I have 2 kids so I tried to buy a case and a screen protector. The only decent case because the one from Boox is sold out and there is no black option, is very disappointing. Not a good case. and the screen protector I bought made the tablet lose sensibility when using gestures or my fingers I need to deactivate the NeoBrowser completely and just use Chrome. Impossible. Every ebook with links will take me to the Neobrowser and copy pasting a link is a long, almost impossible time consuming, duty. Not practical at all. Probably is ettert to have a regular tablet for me and find a way to lower the lights for my tired eyes, Or instead of a super e reader, just a regular e reader, without fancy things like this one and then a computer or tablet. But I was looking to have one device only and this one looked like the right option. unfortunately it is not. Support from Boox is none. A couple of emails and nothing back.
Thanks for the review. I still facing on the fence whether to get the Air 3C as I am an Apple iPad and Kindle Scribe user. I am just concerned whether i will regret if I to switch from iOS platform to Andriod. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
That would be invaluable for people like me just jumping in. And the bits of tips in the video here are also very useful as I've never had an eink device (or a tablet, actually) before. So nothing is obvious 😅☺ Boox have a few short instructional videos but I really prefer videos in which the person talks naturally instead of reading a script (no offense to the sweet guy in those videos)...
I really want an e reader and I currently use the remarkable 2 for note taking. I think I’ll get the air. I write on my iPad with a Magic Keyboard or use handwriting in the remarkable. I think it’s the air 3c! Thanks for the thoughtful discussion.
Engineering student here! Currently trying to decide between ipad pro and these two. My reasons for getting a tablet in general is using it for notes, organization, reading and writing on pdfs, and honestly thats its. I just want to have my notes everywhere so taking notes on apps that i can use on my other devices would be nice.
I second that. It's great for reading. Can't explain why, but I can read the Note Air 3C for hours, but this isn't the same on my laptop, or normal Android tablet.
If you're hesitating against the iPad pro, go for the iPad. E-ink is slow and somewhat clumsy. The only reason to choose E-ink is to reduce eye strain.
what about switch the case on tab ultra c pro for a regular case without keyboard when you just want to handwrite notes, lets say when you are studying for an exam. then when doing homework switch back to the case with keyboard. could be this an option, i mean is there a case without keyboard for tab ultra c pro?. thanks in advance. regards from Mexico.
Thank you for the info. I did take a lot of time to watch many videos so that I can decide which is for me. I chose TUC Pro and now struggling with my doubts as scanner works extremely bad and this was the main feature that made me choose TUC Pro and not Air 3C. You are doing great job helping. Thank you. Still I see that it is really so hard to make the right choise ;)
@@KitBetts-Masters thank you for the answer. No I have not tried. Actually I have not even registered to boox account as it seem quite complicated 😊 Till now I am just using what is in TUC Pro by default. Seems the time has come to try more. Thank you🙏
Based on your videos, Kit, I got the Air 3 C. I have a Surface Pro and I only carry that when traveling. I didn't want to duplicate that form factor in Android. I won't be using my AC3 for email and other things I use my SP for. But, when it comes to replacing the SP, that would be a possibility. At some point, I'm guessing that Boox will produce a Windows e-ink device, and maybe sooner than later since they are now competing directly in that space. Thanks for another great real-use video!
Not sure what the benefits of windows are these days. Most productivity apps exist on Chrome, which basically is Android. I can't think of a single windows app that could run on an eInk tablet that doesn't have an Android/chrome port.
@@cooluser23 you just have to try it to feel the diff. I last walked that path 2 years back, but even a simple google spreadsheet, using it on Android chrome vs Window chrome is very diff, I tried desktop mode too, still can't get used to it. Also I am in IT so there's programming tools and even chrome extension which won't work on Android (or buggy). Too many limitations for my use case and switching to a Surface Pro instantly feels like home. If what U are using is generic enough, like content creation then yea, probably a tablet powerhouse may works
Thank younfor your videos. I have been binging on your content to be able to decied which e-ink notepad or tablet I should get my wife for Christmas. She is an inspiring writer and I think that getting her a digital notepad would help her on the go being able to capture ideas. I was set on the Note Air 3c until this video...😂 I really dislike Onyx doesn't have a keyboard case...but really appreciate all the time you have put into these products.
I'm struggling with buying a Tab Ultra C Pro vs an iPad with a paper-feel screen protector for notetaking in OneNote. My main use case is being able to hand write my notes in OneNote (for better memory retention) and then convert to text so that I can edit later in the day and email out summaries, etc. I also like the idea of being able to take notes on PDFs and ebooks, although most of my books are in Kindle or Libby, so I'm not sure if that's supported anyway. I primarily read books on my Kindle Oasis now. Any guidance?
wow. thanks a lot. that's really helpful. i'm leaning towards the note air. i have a question. i want to use the device for company applications, especially to use microsoft 365 in the cloud. especially pdf. ppt. annotate one note directly in the cloud with the pen. does that work equally well in both devices or does 365 basically work with the boox at all? that would help me a lot.
Thank you so much for the comparison. I've been on the fence, choosing between the Samsung Tab S9 and these two devices. Any chance we can get a comparison?
I would love to. I think I'll maybe look to include the Samsung Galaxy Tabs in their next generation. But at the minute, I'm not on their radar for review samples! Inwould say the choice is just between the screens though, and if you know eink will be a quality of life improvement then I would go for not with confidence, but if you need photo and video, then I think the Samsung would be amazing.
Thanks for the review, I am leaning towards the tab ultra C pro more because of the back camera. I often need to scan documents on the go and it would be helpful to do it with de boox device and write directly on the scanned document, instead of scanning with my phone and then having to send it on the ultra c pro. Do you think it might be enough to offset the price and is here a solution for scanning documents with the air 3 ??
@@nelsonhans-moevi4490 yeah, I think you are an ideal candidate for the Tab Ultra C Pro. If you'd use the scanner lots it's a no brainer! Great tablet, my personal favourite.)
Great review.... question : the kindle scribe has got dark mode, system wide - both for reading and writing - is there any other provider with an open system (like onyx) offering it as well ? This is important to me for nights, less light emitting...
man, i'm really surprised you'rento one of the top TH-camrs already. You're videos are so concise - high density of chewable info, you don't get a load of rubbish or monologing that people usually do at first before they learn and edited well. I guess that's also a good demonstration of how good these eInk pads are because you must be writing great scripts! Would you mind shaaring what you use to write clips please?
Hi. Thanks for the video. I'm looking for something to forget the paper. I had a lot of problems with papers that I lost when I take notes on the work. I like to have them together, to erase the finished tasks and write new ones. to make control-list... all this, I prefer to do it by hand, but not on paper. Also I want to reed pdfs, and take notes. better ir I could install Kindle and have access to my books. witch one do you recomend?
You're on the right track, look at Boox devices and probably the supernote. Decide if you want full android or not and crack on. Kindle Scribe would also work for you if you want to save a few pennies!
@@KitBetts-Masters Thanks for the quick answer. Kindle Schribe, don't atrackt me, I cannot tell exactly why. Can you install "simply piano" on the boox tab pro? I used this app for learning piano, I have an acoustic one, but on the mobile it's to small sometimes. I see that the capacity from the boox note and the boox pad are very different, but not so much at the price I can get them here... I will continue looking
Im very happy with my setup with a tab ultra c (no pro yet 😢) and a tab mini c, it is the dream set up. Having the keyboard case is great even though i do most of my writing with my lap top. But having the option to write a email. I would love to have the mini c in a waterproof version. Only waterproof option right now i know is my kindle oasis, but its reading only. Perfect for sauna and steam bath and bath tub. Great content Kit! Thank you
Thanks for your video! Do you have any experiences with the remarkable 2? I'm using this for years but now I need a device wich has a color display and can put screenshots in the notes. Before I bought the remarkable, I got an old BOOX Note device and I wasn't happy with it, because i found it too slow to handle if you just use it for takeing notes and sync them with the cloud. Do you think the BOOX Note Air 3C would be the right choice to replace the remarkable 2?
Hiya, yeah, I've got loads of content featuring the remarkable and a direct comparison between the remarkable 2 and the note air 3 C. Hope that helps you make the choice! Short answer though, yes definitely, it would be a good replacement, as long as you were game for a bit of an initial learning curve!
I respect your opinion, but in my book the only tab ultra's advantage was kaleido 3. So note air 3 C with the new screen and processor is a much better choice. Especially for handwriting thanks to its preapplied screen protection and no camera at the back. I do not see any advantage that ultra has over the Air C.
Well I think it really boils down to usage - if you write on it (like Brett), the Ultra has advantages like the keyboard cover. But for me as someone who wants to take notes or draw some basic designs on the go, I think the Air 3c is the better choice too. It's even details like the more rounded edges. If you put the tablet on the table and mostly write just using a keyboard, that is irrelevant; but if you hold it for prolonged time, the smooth edges of the Note Air 3c are probable better. I also prefer the Note Air 3c for these reasons, and think it will be a great christmas present for myself... 😁
I currently own Note Air 2 Plus and RM2. I'm going to wait with upgrade until Boox comes up with another eink device supporting colours and much better battery life than the existing products with BSR technology.
Thanks for the great comparison, I have a question that could help me decide, I have a 300 GB ebooks library and was thinking if I have everything on a memory card, which one can handle that huge number of books better (around 45000 books) or is it not that big difference? Thanks again
@KitBetts-Masters yes, It took me years to collect, and now trying to have it on that E-ink to be easily accessible anytime. But Beside the capacity of the card, handling such a huge number of books, reading, creating thumbnails, and navigating through them, do you think the better processor and higher ram on the TUC Pro will handle it way better or more or less the same?
@@intothedeep-979 I think the NA3C should handle it just fine. I also think it's the better form factor for reading and annotating, so I'd suggest that would be your best option.
I am still split. I have an air 1 still. Haven't upgraded yet as there have been so many choices in a short time frame to look at. But I do gravitate back to Boox options regardless. I really like the air a lot and still value my older one. Yet the Tab is also a great device and I simply cannot decide. They are pricey devices and I can't see myself throwing money at one without feeling confident in my choice. Thanks always @kitBetts-Masters for your well done reviews on here, I find them so very useful anytime I am considering such devices.
Thanks so much. I think the Air 2 is still a great device and if it's doing everything you need, I'd stick with it and just enjoy watching Boox innovate until there's something which will truly make a big difference in the way you work. 🙂
It feels like you spend a ton of time discussing the features, but isn't the greatest difference between these devices the size? dimensions and weight? You don't seem to really take them out of the case and compare size and weight.
shoud I buy samsung galaxy s9 series or onyx tab ultra C pro? I would like to use as notes, reading and scratching.... How long does battery keep eink vc tab in the same use?
I’m glad this device exists but all of the options and settings is not what I want when using a device like this. I don’t want to have to change settings depending on what I’m doing to get the best balance of performance and battery life.
Yeah, if you think that those things would frustrate you, defo stick with the remarkable, supernotes and scribes of the world. Great pure notetakers and readers.
Yeah, I would love a more portable mechanical keyboard, but I just think that the convenience of always having it with me is important. I do quite like the keyboard on the Tab Ultra, it is not as back as many very cheap keyboards, there is a definite press to the key, not just all mush!
Great video and I loved the walk down memory lane to the button kindle :-) I am excitedly waiting for my Pro to arrive today, and it's all your fault :-) I agree with all your thoughts and I like that you reiterate that this device is not meant to be just a reader/writer and not even 'just' a tablet but almost competing with your laptop, which it beats in terms of battery life, weight etc etc - the kind of device that you can choose to bring with you instead of, not in addition to, your laptop on a trip. They are opening a new niche and attracting a completely new customer type - I'm the living proof as this is my first eink device ever and that's exactly what sold me. From that POV, even the price seems reasonable. re the upgrade being incremental, I rather see it like because they just have small production batches, if they could improve something during the next one, why wouldn't they. This batch is meant for people like me who are not upgrading but just jumping in. If I could start with a device with the newer android and more ram for the extra few bucks why wouldn't I? And it will last me a while so I can skip a few more iterations before I decide to upgrade. And those who own the previous one might decide to upgrade sooner than me later on. Labels like 'pro' and 'ultra" and the like make me cringe a little, they could've probably just called it 1.5 or something like the software versions. But is that a big deal?lol

Thanks so much for watching and for supporting my channel!
Im coming close to getting my bachelors degree and notebooks have taken up my life. Ive been looking into e-ink tablets and your videos are one of the most comprehensive and detailed reviews I have seen so far; every question I had, you answered. This really helped me decide which device to invest in so I don't regret it. Thank you so much
Great, job, you won't regret it I think! Let me know which you go for and how you find it!
Which did you go for?
Which one did you buy? And how is it so far? I have remarkable 2 but I really need the color feature.
Well I got a tab ultra C it's a life changer for work, no more paper notes, digitally one gets organized, the color part allows me to read technical drawings without problems.
But mostly the note taking app organizes me thinking through, I rarely type on it, although I do have the keyboard too, I prefer hand writing, usually in a bit thick solid lines of text who I then scale down and reorganize around the page (to make room for more ideas). I was always a strong visual thinker, and its kinda strange that most people are but at school people are not talked or trained on how to become more effective in that, in effect good notes make people smarter, to be free from keyboard, or .doc. or txt or other formats just a digital paper.
This apparatus had a great impact on me as a lead industrial developer, read project documentation, read pdf drawings, create notes, create sketches technical or software, form ideas.
:) it's almost a human upgrade :)
I'm primarily a writer, and I find that as I age the only ergonomic way to work at a keyboard is at my desk in a proper chair with a nice big monitor. Ergo, more and more I just want my carried devices to be really good at accommodating handwriting, voice commands, etc. vs having a convenient keyboard input. The 3C is at the top of my current wishlist!
Since I’m only in this market for note taking and have that “writing” feel rather than typing. I probably prefer the air 3c. I was first looking at the remarkable2, but due to lack of features, I started to lean on the onyx air.
Great video, Kitt! I've been consuming your content having gotten myself a Kindle Scribe and discovering that I love writing during my work day as opposed to typing my notes in meetings and whatnot. In very short order I ended up purchasing a Tab Ultra C Pro with the keyboard case from Boox directly so I could also get the leather Folio case for free so that I have options for evening reading. Your demonstrations, analyses, and advice were instrumental in sending me down this path and I couldn't be happier. While I'm saddened that the Scribe will end up being returned at this point it is an incredible introductory device and wonderful for anyone that doesn't have a need for linking pages, notebooks, or other media into their notes. Thanks for taking the time and otherwise being inspiring with your more personal evaluation of everything, from life events onward.
Your comparisons are very valuable for my decision process, thanks for taking the time and focusing on relevant insights 😊
I understand where you are coming from now. For your use case, the choice makes sense.
My counterpoint, though, is that I am an engineer. Although my principal product is a written report, I still do a *lot* of calculations. Although I could probably do this with one laptop, I really prefer to operate in the Macintosh world but am required to have a PC because of the numerical models I use.
I've been using a SuperNote A5x for the last couple of years as an experiment in digital note taking. As I approach the end of the year, I find myself drawn back to a paper notebook because I really like to write with my fountain pens. The A5x offers several advantages (cut and paste being a big one). It's also a little easier to carry all of my project notes along with me (and a few PDFs). But I am unconvinced that the digital notebook offers enough advantage over my paper bullet journal and ancillary notes that it's worth abandoning paper.
I won't be using a digital notebook for content creation, given my use case requiring the computational power of a laptop. (R scripts for data analysis and graphics preparation and numerical modeling.) But I can see how it would for other users.
Thanks for a thoughtful video.
Excellent side by side comparison. Nice balance of dense useful information and your own personal preference. This video along with your comparison video of Boox v Remarkable really helped me reach an informed decision on what is best for my use case. Going with the Note Air 3C because I want the portrait orientation, and will be using keyboard less than you do. Thanks!
This channel is really, really helpful. Very comprehensive comparisons.
With the patches of information I came with, and after a couple of videos and comparisons, I am quite confident the Note Air 3C is the product I am looking for. I will buy it with your link. And also have some friends looking into e-ink devices, so I'll definitely forward them your videos. Congratulations on the great work!
Thanks for the comparison, very useful!
In the end I decided to get a Samsung S9 Ultra with a notepaper protector they sell. I have no plans to connect it to the internet, unless it is to buy apps. Cheers for yourr reviews :)
Just a message to support the channel. Thank you for your useful reviews.
Thanks for your great reviews!
Any idea when the BOOX Note Air3 C will be back in stock? It's not available on the Boox site or Amazon. Or will there be a new version for the Christmas market??
There is already the Boox Note Air 4C released. Some improvements, basically the same price.
Thanks Kitt, i really enjoyed the video even though i use a SN A5X which I use for work. I am teasing myself watching Boox videos for some reason, especially the colour (I tinker with art when the feeling takes). I like the depth you offer not only technical detail but honest use case scenarios. I like the editing with office/out of office shots. Must be tough to manage with f/t teaching i imagine. Many thanks.
Hehe, many thanks, I've moved to just 3 days a week now, which gives me a time to do a bit more and hopefully better this year! Thanks for the feedback!
I am planning on getting an E-ink device to write my lab book (I’m a biologist who works in a molecular biology / nutrition lab). Currently I write in an A4 lab book by hand and it’s be cool to use E-ink instead and convert my notes to electronic text. I’d also like to use it at meetings and now I’m thinking I’d like a colour device so I can show my colleagues diagrams or plots quickly. Leaning towards the Air 4C but still undecided.
Choice to use and not use background music + lighting and quality of the video + your accent = this video is a treat to watch
I stumbled upon your wonderfully comprehensive review/comparison by happy accident. As an indie author, this information is exceedingly useful. Due to extensive nerve damage, I find it challenging to stay in one place long enough to be productive, constantly switching between physical notebooks, my laptop, and my desktop computer; this tends to make my editing process even slower than normal. I've been searching for the perfect notetaking/editing device, and this video has been incredibly helpful! Thank you.
Thanks Kit, both yours and Voja's reviews on both these units have really helps me to make my purchase today! I ended up with a NA3C after comparing both unit side by side in a Boox distribution store. The only thing I really miss from the NA3C is the 855 chipset, but I know my use cases are pdf, Libby Magazines, web browsing and social media, maybe some drawings in the future. So really I suppose the portability and less reflective screen nails down the core requirements. And 665 + BSR seems provided enough juice for now. Ya I know I won't be able to PUBG or efootball on it, but I doubt I am gonna use that at all after the first few days fulfilling my curiosity...😅 And I know as long as it's on Android or IOS, it will not gonna be my productivity tool (hence Surface pro is still my faithful productivity goto). Anyway this TabUltraCPro is such a magnificent device and I was really having some hard times to choose between. Again thanks for both of your reviews. Massive effort!❤
Oh, amazing, wish you joy of it! Which store were you able to look at them both in real life please? Yep, the NA3C is plenty fast enough. I'm rarely going to be getting close to maxing out the Ultra. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Great comparison! Thanks for taking the time to present this so eloquently!
Thank you for sharing your view and experience, I am feeling that I'll enjoy the Air 3 C more, been looking for something to replace my kindle, to take handwritten notes on, but also read documents en the odd email. I am starting a new bachelors next year, which will involve a lot of reading and writing, but I've already got a Keycron Q1 low profile, so think that'll suit it just fine if I want to get into typing longer thoughts/essays out
I currently use an onyx boox N96 ML I bought in 2016, and a kobo 4 inch pocket reader. I've been waiting for eink tablets to catch up to the vision in my head and they are pretty close now. I used to use a bluetooth keyboard with my N96 and MS Word - but as it is still running on android 4.04, many apps aren't working - so now it is a reading tablet exclusively. I am happy they have the microSD back as I use them to sort my research and your comment about the bluetooth keyboard has me thinking whether I want the Note Air 3 C OR I really need the Tab Ultra C Pro... The price difference is definitely a deciding factor and so is the weight. I use Scrivener writing software on my Macbook Air which does not have an android version, so for now it would be using other apps and importing them into Scrivener later. If my eink tablet weighs the same as my laptop that could be a deal breaker! Decisions decisions!
I considered returning my note air 3C for a note Air 3 but to be quite frank, this tablet has really grown on me. I thought battery life would be a problem, but once you turn off Wi-Fi It can last for days if you're just reading which is what I primarily use it for. I'm not a writer so I don't really use the word processing capabilities of this thing nor really the note taking though I did just recently use it during a meeting and it was pretty useful. Normally I just type out my notes because I'm on my computer anyway but writing them out was definitely interesting. I'm a software engineer and it's kind of difficult to hand write out code but it can be used for more abstract concepts. Anyway great comparison. If I was a writer or a student, I would definitely be looking at the pro.
Cheers! Glad you found it interesting, and interesting point about the battery life. Glad you are enjoying your air!
So helpful! Thanks for this comparison.
another great video !! thank you. I prefer the NA3C as it would fit all my needs, and I don’t need a keyboard case at this point.
So very glad you liked the video, I have been editing it all morning! :-)
I'm loving having the early evaluator gang around to give me that instant feedback! Thanks so much for being here!
Appreciate your time reviewing these. I think Note Air is the better one for me based on the use cases which you described
Kit, I have unanswered questions concerning the writing issues & note-taking.
1) What's the lag when you start writing with the stylus? IS there a lag? Makes a diff if you're taking notes, especially during a lecture/talk. If the stylus doesn't work suddenly for a second after a minute's inactivity, you face a hitch every time you put pen to (paper). Not good. I've heard this is a pain: how bad is it?
2) Palm rejection. I'm left-handed, find palm rejection is misery on every writing app I've tried on Android tablet & Windows tablet. IS THIS A PAIN on Boox? Am I going to have to wear a palm-rejection glove?
3) Is note-taking better on either device?
4) You have neglected to address security issues in the vids I've seen. It appears the older Boox is running Android 11 whereas Tab Ultra C is running Android 12. But Boox is notorious (in the past) for not doing much in the way of upgrades. They offer upgrades like a car company: want the new software? Buy a new car. On IT gear this is unacceptable.
I gather the Note Air 3 is 30 months out of date in security upgrades. The Tab Ultra C will be more up-to-date, but still WAY behind the market.
What's the point of buying a mission-critical device for note-taking if it's at huge risk of being bricked by a virus?
You use these things as mission-critical. What's your take on the security issue?
5) Are there significant differences in functionality for note-taking on e-books & outputting to a Personal Knowledge Management System (PKMS) on PC? Do both devices essentially run the same software?
Thanks for putting out well thought-out & filmed vids. You do a great job of condensing a lot of info & impressions into a tight timeframe. I'm subscribed.
Yes, it also took me a bit to understand that if I have light shining on it I can completely turn off the backlight.
Yeah, it's really not to bad, I'm starting to prefer it with lights off to be honest. :-)
Hello Sir, first of all thanks for the video. I got a question for you: Which one of these devices handle glare better? Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I also chose Tab Ultra C. Are you using protective film or glass?
Glitches with my Ultra C Pro so far:
Tablet getting frozen VERY often.
I bought an adapter from usb c to hdmi because i am a teacher and need to project. Tried 3 different tvs and 2 projectors. Not able to project in any of them via HDMI
Screencast option: SUPER DELAYED more than 10 seconds. That is why I prefer HDMI, no need to rely on wifi or bluetooth and those delays
Sometimes my stylus is 1 inch away from the tablet and draws are happening so it is impossible to do sketches or the apps are moving around but i am just trying to draw.
The nib of the stylus was damaged
I have 2 kids so I tried to buy a case and a screen protector. The only decent case because the one from Boox is sold out and there is no black option, is very disappointing. Not a good case. and the screen protector I bought made the tablet lose sensibility when using gestures or my fingers
I need to deactivate the NeoBrowser completely and just use Chrome. Impossible. Every ebook with links will take me to the Neobrowser and copy pasting a link is a long, almost impossible time consuming, duty. Not practical at all.
Probably is ettert to have a regular tablet for me and find a way to lower the lights for my tired eyes, Or instead of a super e reader, just a regular e reader, without fancy things like this one and then a computer or tablet. But I was looking to have one device only and this one looked like the right option. unfortunately it is not.
Support from Boox is none. A couple of emails and nothing back.
Thanks for the review. I still facing on the fence whether to get the Air 3C as I am an Apple iPad and Kindle Scribe user. I am just concerned whether i will regret if I to switch from iOS platform to Andriod. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou for the video! I was wondering if you could do a video about how you’d set it up out of the box to make using the Ultra 3 C pro better? :)
That's a good idea, watch this space.
That would be invaluable for people like me just jumping in. And the bits of tips in the video here are also very useful as I've never had an eink device (or a tablet, actually) before. So nothing is obvious 😅☺ Boox have a few short instructional videos but I really prefer videos in which the person talks naturally instead of reading a script (no offense to the sweet guy in those videos)...
I really want an e reader and I currently use the remarkable 2 for note taking. I think I’ll get the air. I write on my iPad with a Magic Keyboard or use handwriting in the remarkable. I think it’s the air 3c! Thanks for the thoughtful discussion.
Engineering student here! Currently trying to decide between ipad pro and these two.
My reasons for getting a tablet in general is using it for notes, organization, reading and writing on pdfs, and honestly thats its. I just want to have my notes everywhere so taking notes on apps that i can use on my other devices would be nice.
You'll definitely prefer reading here. And note taking is amazing on eink. But pen input on other apps will be better on iPad.
I second that. It's great for reading. Can't explain why, but I can read the Note Air 3C for hours, but this isn't the same on my laptop, or normal Android tablet.
If you're hesitating against the iPad pro, go for the iPad. E-ink is slow and somewhat clumsy. The only reason to choose E-ink is to reduce eye strain.
what about switch the case on tab ultra c pro for a regular case without keyboard when you just want to handwrite notes, lets say when you are studying for an exam. then when doing homework switch back to the case with keyboard. could be this an option, i mean is there a case without keyboard for tab ultra c pro?. thanks in advance. regards from Mexico.
Thank you for the info.
I did take a lot of time to watch many videos so that I can decide which is for me. I chose TUC Pro and now struggling with my doubts as scanner works extremely bad and this was the main feature that made me choose TUC Pro and not Air 3C.
You are doing great job helping. Thank you. Still I see that it is really so hard to make the right choise ;)
Hiya, have you tried it with a third party app like Google lens or Microsoft lens. They should be pretty reliable in scanning and digitising.
@@KitBetts-Masters thank you for the answer. No I have not tried. Actually I have not even registered to boox account as it seem quite complicated 😊 Till now I am just using what is in TUC Pro by default. Seems the time has come to try more. Thank you🙏
How about the longevity of these devices?
Based on your videos, Kit, I got the Air 3 C. I have a Surface Pro and I only carry that when traveling. I didn't want to duplicate that form factor in Android. I won't be using my AC3 for email and other things I use my SP for. But, when it comes to replacing the SP, that would be a possibility. At some point, I'm guessing that Boox will produce a Windows e-ink device, and maybe sooner than later since they are now competing directly in that space. Thanks for another great real-use video!
Absolutely, that sounds like you have an ace combo there!
Wow that's exactly my combo! Glad to find the same clan😂
Not sure what the benefits of windows are these days. Most productivity apps exist on Chrome, which basically is Android.
I can't think of a single windows app that could run on an eInk tablet that doesn't have an Android/chrome port.
@@cooluser23 you just have to try it to feel the diff. I last walked that path 2 years back, but even a simple google spreadsheet, using it on Android chrome vs Window chrome is very diff, I tried desktop mode too, still can't get used to it. Also I am in IT so there's programming tools and even chrome extension which won't work on Android (or buggy). Too many limitations for my use case and switching to a Surface Pro instantly feels like home. If what U are using is generic enough, like content creation then yea, probably a tablet powerhouse may works
@@cooluser23 Thunderbird, Open Office, Affinity anything.
Love the review. Can you do one comparing colour eink to a tab s9 or similar? Thanks
Great Video , can i ask if using Air C is good for emails , also with the use of fold Keyboards still Air 3C seems a better option
I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
I appreciate you watching and commenting! Many kind thanks, :-)
Thank younfor your videos. I have been binging on your content to be able to decied which e-ink notepad or tablet I should get my wife for Christmas. She is an inspiring writer and I think that getting her a digital notepad would help her on the go being able to capture ideas. I was set on the Note Air 3c until this video...😂 I really dislike Onyx doesn't have a keyboard case...but really appreciate all the time you have put into these products.
I'm struggling with buying a Tab Ultra C Pro vs an iPad with a paper-feel screen protector for notetaking in OneNote. My main use case is being able to hand write my notes in OneNote (for better memory retention) and then convert to text so that I can edit later in the day and email out summaries, etc. I also like the idea of being able to take notes on PDFs and ebooks, although most of my books are in Kindle or Libby, so I'm not sure if that's supported anyway. I primarily read books on my Kindle Oasis now.
Any guidance?
Hi! Thank you for the video. I have a question: with these devices can you copy and paste images and text from a PDF to notes?
wow. thanks a lot. that's really helpful. i'm leaning towards the note air. i have a question. i want to use the device for company applications, especially to use microsoft 365 in the cloud. especially pdf. ppt. annotate one note directly in the cloud with the pen. does that work equally well in both devices or does 365 basically work with the boox at all? that would help me a lot.
Thank you so much for the comparison. I've been on the fence, choosing between the Samsung Tab S9 and these two devices. Any chance we can get a comparison?
I would love to. I think I'll maybe look to include the Samsung Galaxy Tabs in their next generation. But at the minute, I'm not on their radar for review samples! Inwould say the choice is just between the screens though, and if you know eink will be a quality of life improvement then I would go for not with confidence, but if you need photo and video, then I think the Samsung would be amazing.
Thanks for the review, I am leaning towards the tab ultra C pro more because of the back camera. I often need to scan documents on the go and it would be helpful to do it with de boox device and write directly on the scanned document, instead of scanning with my phone and then having to send it on the ultra c pro. Do you think it might be enough to offset the price and is here a solution for scanning documents with the air 3 ??
@@nelsonhans-moevi4490 yeah, I think you are an ideal candidate for the Tab Ultra C Pro. If you'd use the scanner lots it's a no brainer! Great tablet, my personal favourite.)
Great review.... question : the kindle scribe has got dark mode, system wide - both for reading and writing - is there any other provider with an open system (like onyx) offering it as well ? This is important to me for nights, less light emitting...
man, i'm really surprised you'rento one of the top TH-camrs already. You're videos are so concise - high density of chewable info, you don't get a load of rubbish or monologing that people usually do at first before they learn and edited well.
I guess that's also a good demonstration of how good these eInk pads are because you must be writing great scripts! Would you mind shaaring what you use to write clips please?
Which has a better handwriting feature?
Hi. Thanks for the video. I'm looking for something to forget the paper. I had a lot of problems with papers that I lost when I take notes on the work. I like to have them together, to erase the finished tasks and write new ones. to make control-list... all this, I prefer to do it by hand, but not on paper. Also I want to reed pdfs, and take notes. better ir I could install Kindle and have access to my books.
witch one do you recomend?
You're on the right track, look at Boox devices and probably the supernote. Decide if you want full android or not and crack on. Kindle Scribe would also work for you if you want to save a few pennies!
@@KitBetts-Masters Thanks for the quick answer. Kindle Schribe, don't atrackt me, I cannot tell exactly why.
Can you install "simply piano" on the boox tab pro? I used this app for learning piano, I have an acoustic one, but on the mobile it's to small sometimes. I see that the capacity from the boox note and the boox pad are very different, but not so much at the price I can get them here... I will continue looking
Im very happy with my setup with a tab ultra c (no pro yet 😢) and a tab mini c, it is the dream set up. Having the keyboard case is great even though i do most of my writing with my lap top. But having the option to write a email. I would love to have the mini c in a waterproof version. Only waterproof option right now i know is my kindle oasis, but its reading only. Perfect for sauna and steam bath and bath tub. Great content Kit! Thank you
Amazing combo you have there! Thanks for the feedback!
I wonder if the new iteration of supernote will be able to hold up to the boox devices
I am not sure if i need the color version.. i am thinking about buying the boox tab ultra (not c) and safe 100$ 🤔 what do you guys think?
Thanks for your video!
Do you have any experiences with the remarkable 2? I'm using this for years but now I need a device wich has a color display and can put screenshots in the notes.
Before I bought the remarkable, I got an old BOOX Note device and I wasn't happy with it, because i found it too slow to handle if you just use it for takeing notes and sync them with the cloud.
Do you think the BOOX Note Air 3C would be the right choice to replace the remarkable 2?
Hiya, yeah, I've got loads of content featuring the remarkable and a direct comparison between the remarkable 2 and the note air 3 C. Hope that helps you make the choice!
Short answer though, yes definitely, it would be a good replacement, as long as you were game for a bit of an initial learning curve!
I respect your opinion, but in my book the only tab ultra's advantage was kaleido 3. So note air 3 C with the new screen and processor is a much better choice. Especially for handwriting thanks to its preapplied screen protection and no camera at the back. I do not see any advantage that ultra has over the Air C.
Thanks, the debate rages on. Soon, I'll do a new top ten....
Well I think it really boils down to usage - if you write on it (like Brett), the Ultra has advantages like the keyboard cover. But for me as someone who wants to take notes or draw some basic designs on the go, I think the Air 3c is the better choice too. It's even details like the more rounded edges. If you put the tablet on the table and mostly write just using a keyboard, that is irrelevant; but if you hold it for prolonged time, the smooth edges of the Note Air 3c are probable better.
I also prefer the Note Air 3c for these reasons, and think it will be a great christmas present for myself... 😁
Great video, only bought the boox last year so not sure if to soon to upgrade
Correct! It's good to keep an eye on where things are going then but when something has discernable improvements over what you have.
hi, beautiful video, which one would you choose for an architect who wants to design his projects?
Thank you
Hello, I think you should probably check my drawing on eink tablets videos! Here's one I made recently: th-cam.com/video/Eaz7hVuwrAs/w-d-xo.html
I currently own Note Air 2 Plus and RM2. I'm going to wait with upgrade until Boox comes up with another eink device supporting colours and much better battery life than the existing products with BSR technology.
Thanks for the great comparison, I have a question that could help me decide, I have a 300 GB ebooks library and was thinking if I have everything on a memory card, which one can handle that huge number of books better (around 45000 books) or is it not that big difference?
Thanks again
Yeah, not a massive difference on these two devices. Both have the memory card slot so you should be fine!
(Wow, buy the way, that's some library!)
@KitBetts-Masters yes, It took me years to collect, and now trying to have it on that E-ink to be easily accessible anytime.
But Beside the capacity of the card, handling such a huge number of books, reading, creating thumbnails, and navigating through them, do you think the better processor and higher ram on the TUC Pro will handle it way better or more or less the same?
@@intothedeep-979 I think the NA3C should handle it just fine. I also think it's the better form factor for reading and annotating, so I'd suggest that would be your best option.
@KitBetts-Masters Thanks a lot.
I am still split. I have an air 1 still. Haven't upgraded yet as there have been so many choices in a short time frame to look at. But I do gravitate back to Boox options regardless. I really like the air a lot and still value my older one. Yet the Tab is also a great device and I simply cannot decide. They are pricey devices and I can't see myself throwing money at one without feeling confident in my choice. Thanks always @kitBetts-Masters for your well done reviews on here, I find them so very useful anytime I am considering such devices.
Thanks so much. I think the Air 2 is still a great device and if it's doing everything you need, I'd stick with it and just enjoy watching Boox innovate until there's something which will truly make a big difference in the way you work. 🙂
Sorry, you said Air 1, my apologies, that was before I started revising Boox, my advice still stands though!
Hi Guys, how it works with MS One Note? I tested last year and it was very, very slow and not possible to work on it..
it’s bad that modern e-readers drain the battery so much... the operating time is only 20 hours with minimal options... it upsets me
Excellent comparison
It feels like you spend a ton of time discussing the features, but isn't the greatest difference between these devices the size? dimensions and weight? You don't seem to really take them out of the case and compare size and weight.
Is there any app on 3c or Onyx which can work similar to notability app key thing being syncing voice notes with hand written text?
shoud I buy samsung galaxy s9 series or onyx tab ultra C pro? I would like to use as notes, reading and scratching.... How long does battery keep eink vc tab in the same use?
Does anyone know how I can get the NA3C in Canada? Website says it ships but when I load up my cart boox site says shipping not available 😢
Is boox updating their Devices? For instance the note air2 is still portraying Android 11 right?
Thank you for your videos!!!
I’m glad this device exists but all of the options and settings is not what I want when using a device like this.
I don’t want to have to change settings depending on what I’m doing to get the best balance of performance and battery life.
Honestly it's not much different than changing the brightness or turning wifi off and on on a mobile phone.
It's super easy.
Yeah, if you think that those things would frustrate you, defo stick with the remarkable, supernotes and scribes of the world. Great pure notetakers and readers.
Ordered the Tab Ultra C Pro.
does microsoft excel run on this device?
Air 3C with a Bluetooth butterfly/scissor type keyboard has a much feel for writing than the cheap rubber rome keyboard of the Tab Ultra
Yeah, I would love a more portable mechanical keyboard, but I just think that the convenience of always having it with me is important. I do quite like the keyboard on the Tab Ultra, it is not as back as many very cheap keyboards, there is a definite press to the key, not just all mush!
What apps do you use Kit?
I have that video: th-cam.com/video/qXYTc-oRPMA/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
Great video
1:50 that's just a normal keyboard, is it not?
Yeah, I mean, I just find a larger keyboard more ergonomic than a smaller one!
@@KitBetts-Masters Yea that's true
Tab Ultra C Pro cool thing)
Is any merit behind the b/w version of the air 3 coming out soon?
may you please kindly tell us, the colour one ebook is more harmfull for eyes as black-white or its same for eyes?
❤
I know there's nothing you can do about it, but the amount of fry in your voice makes it fatiguing to listen to (for me anyway)
Now I can't unhear it 😅
I like the content hated to see such a loser comment
Great video and I loved the walk down memory lane to the button kindle :-) I am excitedly waiting for my Pro to arrive today, and it's all your fault :-)
I agree with all your thoughts and I like that you reiterate that this device is not meant to be just a reader/writer and not even 'just' a tablet but almost competing with your laptop, which it beats in terms of battery life, weight etc etc - the kind of device that you can choose to bring with you instead of, not in addition to, your laptop on a trip. They are opening a new niche and attracting a completely new customer type - I'm the living proof as this is my first eink device ever and that's exactly what sold me. From that POV, even the price seems reasonable.
re the upgrade being incremental, I rather see it like because they just have small production batches, if they could improve something during the next one, why wouldn't they. This batch is meant for people like me who are not upgrading but just jumping in. If I could start with a device with the newer android and more ram for the extra few bucks why wouldn't I? And it will last me a while so I can skip a few more iterations before I decide to upgrade. And those who own the previous one might decide to upgrade sooner than me later on. Labels like 'pro' and 'ultra" and the like make me cringe a little, they could've probably just called it 1.5 or something like the software versions. But is that a big deal?lol
Thanks so much, I just love this comment. My apologies to your wallet and please keep me informed as you continue your e-ink journey.
