BOOX Tablet Note Air 4 C 6G 64G E Ink Tablet Color ePaper Notebook

Great digital notebook! It was exactly what I wanted. This thing has odd programs and operating system, but well worth getting used to. There is an app that works on windows so I can see all my notes in FULL color on my computer and even print them.If you need a tablet that can double as a portable workstation, this is not the tablet you need. However if you do a lot of handwritten work/notes and want to keep them sorted and organized, this is your tablet. This screen is unmatched for writing.I am a computer science major. Some classmates of mine have Samsung, iPads and Microsoft Surfaces and they ALL complain that the screen is beautiful but too touchy when trying to handwrite in the programs. Also many of them say the programs aren’t great or they had to buy/subscribe to them. This tablet specializes in handwritten notes. The software is great and included with the tablet, no signing in or account needed. It just works. While the reviews say this tablet has a learning curve, it doesn’t take too long to mess around with it and set it up how YOU like it. The writing program is very customizable so you can get it just how you like it. Definitely not something you buy on the first day of class, but after a week of messing with it and trying things, you’ll have it down. The program is more like photoshop with layers and lots of editing tools. So far it’s had all the templates I’ve needed but custom page templates can be added.In the end this thing has been perfect over the almost year I’ve had it. Unmatched battery life and writing software. I didn’t need a device that just doubled my phone, I needed to kill loose papers. This thing holds all my notes, handwritten work, and digital books.

Love it so far. Purpose for buying this product to use for note taking at work, reading, grad school, and religious use. I installed Kindel and other apps. I will get a SD micro SD card. I played word search and love it. I need to buy case and screen protector. Love it so far.Update: I am still learning everything this device can offer me and so far still love it. I have learned how to use some features but honestly I am still waiting on YouTube reviews and how to use video.Battery life is okay. I do not own the boox air 3 so I am not able to compare but to give an idea. I work from home doing intake for clients. Mondays to Fridays 8 to 4:30. Towards the end of my day around 3 I need to pull in the USB cord to charge on my desktop. I know I could not use wifi it might help but I do need the internet on this device. Is it a deal breaker for me, no.Clarity in color compare to my Amazon Kindle fire. The Kindle fire wins. However it is not bad on the boox. I love the note taking I will add more templates to use. I have not use any books yet to see how that goes but I will. If you want this device to upgrade ir whatnot I say go for it. I will buy the Kindle scribe 2024 for my brother, dad, and myself to see which one is better. I may use one for school and the other for work. I hope this helps.Update: I was able to download free note and daily planner from Google. I have to get PDF format and then upload to my boox I used the USB cable. It will go to the note template in custom and it works perfectly. Love it. Battery I do need to keep in mind to charge it with my computer at work toward the end of my day but not a deal breaker. I have downloaded apps like Kindle and word search. I played word search love it but have not yet used Kindle to read. I did see you can add notes and tags but not wrote directly on textbooks like Kindle Scribe 2024 mentioned. Still love it and discovering new things. I will watch a YouTube video on how to use this device 😀Update 11/19/2024 So I did love this tablet it was good. But I noticed myself not want ro use as I first purchased. The color that I was so excited about was not to my expectations. I did enjoy this tablet. It does write wonderfully and loved that I can upload templates. However, I still decided to return it. I was given a heads up that my brother was going to buy another wirting tablet that has the same specs but the color intensity is much better so that made me return it before the date passed. Do not let me experience deter you from buying. It is a great note taking tablet. Can use Google play and I am sure it has lots more features that I still didn't have a chance to experience. It was a fun ride.

I've been a user of E-ink since the first Kindle and started going outside of Amazon almost 2 years ago. I already own the Remarkable Paper Pro and Supernote Nomad for a digital notebooks and knew this product was lacking in that department due to my extensive research. So I was not surprised to see that the writing is pretty terrible in comparison. I would definitely not recommend this device as a primary notetaker unless you can't afford multiple devices and need a jack-of-all trades device. I tried the pen that came with it (feels like a dry marker and sounds like one on the screen too), I tried the same pen with a kindle scribe nib, and the Lamy Alstar pen with the pom nib. They all feel pretty bad to me having already gotten use to other devices for writing.With all that said, I bought this as an ereader, something to read books and graphic Novels/comics on with some light annotating. In that regard its wonderful, the color is better than expected, I don't need the frontlight on as high as I thought (it does need to be on though unless you've got a lot of light. Page flips are fast, images look great on my covers and comics. It comes with around 34ish gb of storage free but I put a micro sd card in. The native reader app Neoreader is fantastic and supports many formats. I put my comics on as PDF through Calibre (calibre recognizes the device automatically) and transfered my books as epub. I put the Kindle app for Kindle Unlimited and Marvel Unlimited app. All work perfectly.If you want to use the browser it works best with the pen. The device itself is well built and solid. the edges are rounded which honestly I dont get because the pen fits awkwardly on it and the device is too cold and slippery to use without a case of some sort. I bought a third party case, the official case has no charging port cutout.In summary, I love the device, the pen is trash unless it's just because of the screen film they use for the "paperlike" feel.Edit: I switched my nib to the scribe one. Feels nearly the same but without as much dry marker feel and sound. Notes app has crashed 3 times for me in a 30 minutes window after trying to use undo. Also the battery is decent but ONLY if all you do is read text with airplane mode (no WiFi or Bluetooth) and as low light as possible. Using dark mode at night helps for me because I can use the light lower and still see text. Doing literally anything else on this device drains battery fast.
