Hi friend, today I may just have the ink device that could tick every box on your wish list. Say hello to the Boox Note Air 2 Plus. This thing packs so many features it's almost overwhelming in the best way possible. Now, I could spend an hour diving into everything this device

can do, but even then I probably still miss something. So here's the plan: we're keeping it focused in this video. I will walk you through the build quality and design, how the display works, and even compare it to the Remarkable Paper Pro. We'll also cover the text pack pen,

latency, and what it feels like to write on this thing. And don't worry, I will highlight the standout features and of course talk about the pricing too. So stick around until the very end because we will wrap up by answering the big question: who is this device really for?

Plus, I will share my overall take on it. So let's dive right in. Let's talk about build quality and design because the Boox Note Air 2 Plus really makes a statement here. First off, this device feels premium. The back is entirely made of metal and the curved sides flow

seamlessly into the front glass display giving it a sleek and modern look. The display itself comes with a pre-installed screen protector, and here's the kicker: it's not meant to be removed unless it gets scratched. I checked it with Boox support and they

confirmed that for me. At just 5.8 mm thick and weighing 440 g, or about 14.8 oz, it's super light and easy to hold for hours. The white bezel on the left side isn't just for style; it's also very

ergonomic, that extra space gives your thumb a comfy spot to rest, making it perfect for reading or writing one-handed. Now let's check out the buttons and ports at the top. We've got a power button that doubles as a fingerprint reader, no more typing in

pins constantly. It's quick and secure, plus the button is flat and recessed so no accidental presses. The right and bottom sides are clean, but the left side is where all the action is. You will find dual speakers and a microphone, a USB-C port for charging, and even a Micro SD card

slot. Yes, you heard that right, this device supports up to 2 terabytes of additional storage, which is incredible for an e-ink tablet. On the right side, there's a magnetic strip to hold your stylus. Speaking of the stylus, let's dive into it. While it's well-built, I have to

say it feels a little bit hollow and lightweight compared to what you'd expect from such a premium device. The rubbery cap on top also feels out of place next to the sleek design of the tablet itself. And here's a bit of a

downside, the marker doesn't have an eraser, so you will need to rely on AI gestures or eraser tools in the notebook app. Plus, the box doesn't include extra nibs unless you buy a bundle, so keep that in mind. But here's the silver

lining, the Onyx Boox offers a premium stylus, the Magnetic Pen 2 Pro. It comes with an eraser and skips the plastic cap altogether, giving you a design that matches the device's premium vibe. Honestly, this is the stylus that I think should

come with the device by default, but it seems like their brands like to give you pen options these days. Let's dive into the display, which is one of the standout features of the Boox Note Air 2. This device boasts a 10.3-inch E Ink Carta 1200 color display capable of showing about 4,100 colors alongside 16 levels of gray scale depending on the mode you're working with. Two resolutions: 2480 by 1860 at 300 PPI for black and white, and 1240 by 930 at 150 PPI for color. If

you're curious about the tech behind E Ink Carta and how it stacks up against the Remarkable's E Ink Gallery, I've explained it in detail in my previous video. I will link it at the end of this video. What makes the color so exciting here is the level of control you get. Get

three modes: normal, vivid, and custom. In custom, you can tweak settings like dark color enhancement, vividness, and brightness. This is a fantastic feature because it lets you adjust the screen based on what you're viewing. For example, comic books may look better with higher contrast and deeper blacks, while

documents could benefit from softer colors and less contrast. I personally love having that flexibility. Now, while the colors are vibrant and enjoyable, there's a trade-off when switching between refresh modes. You may notice a slight drop in color quality and the appearance of artifacts. It's not a deal

breaker; it's the price you pay for fast refresh rates and minimal screen refreshes. Overall, the colors remind me of reading a color newspaper. Speaking of refresh options, the Air 2 has customizable refresh modes thanks to Boox Super Refresh (BSR) technology. You can pick from HD for sharp visuals, B

balanced fast and Ultra fast which works for videos but sacrifices some quality and introduces ghosting. Now let's answer the big question: can you watch videos on this thing? The short answer is yes, but it's not the most comfortable experience. There's noticeable flickering and the battery

takes a hit. Still, it's manageable if you're in a pinch, and honestly, I haven't seen another eInk device handle video playback as well as the AirBook C. Books definitely deserve some credit here. Another important feature is the front light and warm light, which are

essential here. Without the front light, the Calo 3 screen is very dark, especially compared to devices like the Remarkable 2 or even a Kindle in bright environments. You can get by without it, but I often find myself keeping the backlight at least half

or even three quarters brightness for a comfortable reading experience. To illustrate this, I've recorded a few shots. Here's the AirBook and Remarkable side by side with no backlight, only LED video lights in the room. Now here they are with the backlight on.

Max. Notice the difference. In another shot, you can see both devices near a window on an overcast day, first with no backlight and then with it on. Finally, I walked around the house with the AirBook without backlight. The screen quickly becomes unreadable as I move away from the source of light

coming from the window. With the backlight at almost max, it's perfectly usable even in dim areas. And hey, I know the Kindle Oasis 3 isn't everyone's favorite because of how dark it is without backlight, and I totally get that. But here's the trade-off: you get amazing refresh rates.

and vibrant colors it really comes down to what's important to you, brightness or functionality. It's a matter of priorities and specific needs. Before we jump to the next section, I just want to ask you to hit that like button and subscribe to the channel if you're

enjoying this video. Appreciate your support. Let's talk tech specs because the Book Note Air 4C packs some serious hardware and features at its core. The device runs on an octa-core CPU with 6 GB of RAM, making it more than capable of handling multitasking and

demanding apps. For storage, you get 64 GB, but keep in mind that about 37 GB is really usable. The rest is taken up by the OS. If that's not enough, there's a Micro SD slot that lets you expand up to 2 TB. That's a ton of storage for books,

notes and even multimedia. In terms of touch, it supports both Book Stylus touch with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and capacitive touch for smooth navigation. For connectivity, you have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1, so staying connected is a breeze. The device also

comes with a front light with CTM, that's color temperature management, so you can switch between warm and cool lighting for the perfect reading experience. Other features include a G sensor for auto rotation, which is handy when switching between portrait and landscape, and a 3,700 mAh battery which gives decent

usage time considering the power-packed features. Now let's talk about the operating system. The Book Note Air 4C runs on Android 13, which means you can install third-party apps. I've tried apps like Kindle and Office, and they work flawlessly, no lag or issues whatsoever.

the device also supports an impressive range of file formats from ePubs and MOBI for ebooks to CBZ and CBR for comics, DOC and PPT files for productivity and even image and audio formats like JPEG and MP3. I've put a

full list of supported formats on the screen for you. With these specs, the Onyx Boox Air C feels more like a full-fledged tablet designed for reading and note-taking rather than just an e-inking device. Now onto the user interface and how easy the Books Note Air C is to

use. When you first land on the home screen, you will immediately notice just how much the device can do. The top section is dedicated to quick access for your book library and notes, which is super handy since those are the most used features. The bottom section is where your installed apps live, and you can

fully customize their layout to suit your workflow. In the library, you can also browse your stored books and even connect to cloud storage options like Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, OneDrive and even more. And what's really cool is that the device allows for automatic syncing of your notes, PDFs and books

back to your cloud services like Google Drive or Evernote. This is a huge win compared to something like the Remarkable where syncing has to be done manually, and they don't even cover as many platforms as Books Note does. The navigation bar at the bottom feels very

familiar if you've used an Android device before. You've got the typical buttons to go back, return to the home screen or view background apps. Plus, you can use it to quickly switch between color modes and refresh modes without digging through settings. If you swipe

down from the top right edge you will open the control center which is packed with useful settings and features from here you can manage Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggle auto rotation start a quick note enable split screen mode which I will talk about later screen record adjust speaker volume and control the front

light and warm levels it's all right there making it super convenient to tweak settings on the go for those who like to keep things organized you can also personalize your home screen with custom widgets this lets you see the most important updates like messages or tasks without having to open any apps

it's a small touch but it makes the device feel even more user friendly overall the interface strikes a great balance between being powerful and easy to navigate making the Boox Note Air 2 a solid choice for both beginners and power users alike pen latency and writing feel one of you have asked

about pen latency and how the writing experience compares to the remarkable so here's my take on it I've had the chance to use both the remarkable paper Pro and the Boox Note Air 2 and while I don't have any measuring tools to provide exact data I can confidently say

that both devices perform exceptionally well in terms of latency I tested them back to back and with the naked eye I couldn't spot any significant difference writing on both feels smooth and responsive with no noticeable lag that said there is one key distinction the remarkable does show a slight refresh

when you're using colors whereas the Boox handles color writing without any such refresh this may be something to consider depending on how often you use colors in your notes when it comes to the overall writing feel both devices deliver a natural and comfortable experience whether you're writing

quickly or slowly, however, if I had to choose the one that feels the closest to real paper, I'd give the edge to the Remarkable Paper Pro. It just has the subtle texture that mimics the sensation of writing on paper a bit more closely.

which also happens to be my personal preference. That being said, writing feel is highly subjective, so you may find your own favorite if you try both. Either way, both devices offer an excellent writing experience and I think you will be satisfied regardless of which one you pick. The Book Note Air is loaded

with features, so I will focus on the ones that I found the most useful and that could potentially be game changers for anyone looking to purchase an e-ink device. One standout feature is split-screen mode, which I really enjoy. It's incredibly handy for multitasking.

copying text from a book into a notebook, adding your notes, or even having apps open side-by-side. For instance, you can have an Excel file on one side and documentation on the other. It does take a bit of practice since touch and pen inputs perform different functions, but

once you get used to it, it feels quite natural. You can also adjust the split bar to resize either side, which is a nice touch. Then there's the text-to-speech (TTS) which works impressively well. You can choose from multiple voices, adjust the pitch and speech rate, and

even set a timer. Here's a quick example of how it sounds:  After holding down a day job for all of six weeks, I gave up on the whole job thing to pursue an online business. At the time, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. For those who need

consistent page turns like musicians using music. There's an auto page turn feature you can set the interval, the number of pages to turn, and the duration. Once it's done, it even gives you a summary of battery usage, which is great for tracking device performance over time. Within notebooks, there's a

built-in voice recorder which adds flexibility for capturing thoughts or lectures. On the go, this is a test of a recorder on Books Note Air for C. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This is a test of a recorder on Books Note

Air for C. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. You can even move the recordings within the note, which is incredibly useful for students or professionals who may need to record and annotate simultaneously. You can also insert images, add attachments, link to

other notebooks or files on the device, link to websites, add timestamps, and include a wide variety of shapes and styles. This is honestly fantastic for creating diagrams or even for math students working with complex concepts. Finally, the handwriting to text conversion supports an impressive 72 languages. I tested it with Polish and

Farsi. For Polish, it worked flawlessly, and for Farsi there were only two small mistakes, about 80% accuracy, which is still impressive. What's also great is the flexibility in how the converted text is handled. You can convert just the

page you're on or all pages, and the text can either appear below the handwriting, replace it, or even be exported directly as a PDF. These features make the Books Note Air for C a very, very versatile tool, catering to a wide range of users from students to professionals. The pricing

for the books Note Air Force is structured across different bundles the standard bundle costs $500 in the US and 550 in Europe and it includes the standard marker five nibs and magnetic case for the premium bundle which adds the pen to Pro marker the price is

$548 in the US and 598 Euros in Europe if you prefer to buy the tablet alone it's priced at $500 on Amazon US or 500 on Amazon UK interestingly the pricing parity suggests books encourages purchasing directly from their store one

thing to note about books return policy even if you return the device within the 14 or 30-day window you can only receive a partial refund and must cover return shipping according to their website and I quote within 30 days of receipt of shipment customers will only get a

partial refund to cancel an already confirmed order for personal reasons provided the product is without quality issues customers must be responsible for shipping fees and Customs for returns otherwise the refund request will be rejected this policy makes it less flexible compared to other brands as it limits your ability to test the device

and fully decide if it meets your expectations if you buy through Amazon however you get a full refund within their standard 30-day return policy and with the holiday season approaching Amazon's return period is extended until January 31st 2025 by the

way if you're planning to purchase the Note Air Force through Amazon please consider using the link in this video description to support the channel at no extra cost to you appreciate your support so is the price justifiable in my opinion yes the device is packed with

features that justify the price, especially given its capabilities with multitasking, split screen, and diverse file support. That said, it's difficult to compare directly with the Remarkable Paper Pro because the two cater to different user needs, something I've explored in a previous video. We're also

waiting for the release of the Supernote A5 X2, which I expect will be similarly priced. Whether it's worth waiting for that device, though, is a decision only you can make. Who is this device for? The Boox Note Air 2 Plus is a versatile device that caters to a wide range of

users, making it a great fit for both students and professionals alike. For students, it shines in the classroom setting. The ability to split the screen and take notes while reading a textbook or working through a PDF is incredibly helpful. Features like handwriting to text conversion, voice recording in

notebooks, and shape tools for diagrams make it perfect for capturing and organizing lecture material. For professionals, the device is equally powerful, whether you're in a meeting or managing office work. Tools like cloud syncing with platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox ensure your notes and documents are

always accessible. The ability to annotate PDFs, use voice memos, and even run productivity apps like Microsoft Office makes it a valuable tool for brainstorming, project planning, or collaborating with your team. On top of this, the multitasking and split screen features are ideal for anyone who needs

to juggle different types of information, such as comparing spreadsheets and reports or drafting presentations while referencing research material. Conclusions and my final thoughts. So what's my verdict on the Boox Note Air 2 Plus? Honestly, I think it's a fantastic device for anyone who wants

more out of their writing experience its versatility really impressed me the split screen feature handwriting to text conversion and the ability to sync with multiple cloud services making it a productivity powerhouse the addition of color and support for third party apps like Kindle and Office and pretty much

everything you can find on the app App Store really expands its potential far beyond just being a writing tablet however it's not without a few small annoyances for instance I've noticed that sometimes the Palm rejection doesn't work perfectly and it can accidentally click

something while writing while the device performs well overall I did experience occasional lag when navigating or saving notebooks which may be a bit frustrating for users who expect a completely seamless experience if I had to pick I still think the remarkable paper Pro

edges it out slightly when it comes to pure writing feel but the Note Air 2 is far more versatile so in the end it's really about what matters most to you prefer like writing or do it all device now I'd love to hear your thoughts what

features on the reMarkable Note Air 2 stands out the most to you or if you're already using it what's your favorite thing about it let me know in the comments down below and if you enjoyed this video or found it helpful please give it a thumbs up and don't forget to
