Earlier this month Onyx introduced the discharge of a brand new eNote known as the Boox Go 10.3, and it’s now accessible to order from Onyx’s official Amazon retailer for $379 with free delivery.
The delivery date remains to be listed at 5-7 weeks out, however they stated the identical factor concerning the Boox Go Coloration 7 when it first confirmed up on Amazon, after which it began delivery a pair weeks later.
The Boox Go 10.3 is a brand new product from Onyx, nevertheless it shares plenty of overlapping options with the Notice Air line. The primary factor is it’s the primary 10″ eNote from Onyx to have a 300 ppi display as a substitute of a 227 ppi display.
However there’s one bizarre factor concerning the Boox Go 10.3 that’s positive to place some folks off, and that’s the truth that it doesn’t have a frontlight. I’m positive they’ll launch a “Professional” or a “Plus” mannequin in some unspecified time in the future that does have a frontlight, however this mannequin appears to be extra of a direct competitor to the Outstanding 2.
The Boox Go 10.3 additionally incorporates a new person interface that’s imagined to be extra streamlined and easy. It nonetheless runs Android 12 like Onyx’s different eNotes, and it comes with Google Play to put in Android apps, nevertheless it doesn’t assist BSR for quicker and smoother refreshing like a few of Onyx’s different merchandise.
It additionally lacks a few of the {hardware} upgrades which are discovered on different fashions, just like the fingerprint reader and the reminiscence card slot. But it surely does include a stylus for notetaking, and it has a rotation sensor, twin audio system, a built-in microphone, and it has a 2.4GHz octa-core CPU with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard cupboard space.
Onyx places out plenty of new merchandise every year. Some are a success (just like the Palma) and a few are a miss, and I can’t assist however assume that is going to fall into the latter class. The value is aggressive at $379, however I’m undecided there’s a giant marketplace for E Ink units with out frontlights today.
