Final month Onyx introduced the upcoming launch of a brand new 13.3″ mannequin referred to as the Boox Be aware Max. It nonetheless hasn’t formally been launched but, but it surely’s getting nearer. The Be aware Max is now obtainable to order from Onyx’s Amazon retailer for $649, and it’s anticipated to start out delivery later this month.
It at all times surprises me how many individuals are excited about Onyx’s 13.3″ fashions, particularly contemplating how costly they’re, however the brand new Be aware Max is by far the least costly 13.3″ eNote that Onyx has launched. Their earlier era mannequin, the Tab X, bought for $879, and it’s presently “on sale” for $799, however there are plenty of variations with the brand new mannequin to justify the worth distinction.
First off, the Be aware Max doesn’t have a frontlight just like the Tab X, and it makes use of an E Ink Carta 1300 display as an alternative of an E Ink Mobius display. The latter is plastic based mostly so it’s lighter and extra sturdy, however the Carta display on the brand new mannequin has higher distinction and better decision. Actually, that is the primary 13.3″ eNote with a 300 ppi display (the earlier fashions solely had 207 ppi).
Onyx additionally eliminated the microSD card slot on the brand new mannequin, but it surely does include 128GB of inner cupboard space, and the USB-C port helps OTG so you possibly can join exterior drives that approach if wanted.
The Be aware Max includes a new design as properly. The Tab X has a symmetrical design with the bigger bezel on the underside, whereas the Be aware Max has a bigger deal with on one facet of the display like most eNotes (it’s a Carta factor). The design is much like the Boox Go 10.3 that Onyx launched final June.
The software program on the Be aware Max relies on Android 13, and it comes with Google Play to put in Android apps. It additionally helps BSR for quicker and smoother refreshing, which is a giant plus on Boox gadgets.
For some purpose it’s nonetheless not obtainable immediately from Onyx’s web site but, but it surely should be getting near launch in the event that they’re accepting orders on Amazon. In some components of the world the Be aware Max has already began delivery, and some movies have began to show up on YouTube.
