Hello! What device would you recommend for heavy note taking, reading some books and reading academic pdf's? Thank you!

[@lilrowbear]

Just changing the bezels to white makes it look so much more sleek. I hope they realize a Note Air 3 C in white as well. I can't give up color, but I would like to have that bezel blend in a little more.

[@ajwalker4416]

I'm always interested in these devices for sketching more so than note-taking. Thank you for showing drawings on both devices and I always appreciate every time you draw on any of these devices.

[@lurkingtablelamp4539]

I think this looks great, especially glad that it has 300 PPI. I hope they expand the Go line to include 13.3, really looking forward to the next version of the Tab X! thanks for this video

[@KitBetts-Masters]

yeah, very much looking forward to that too!

[@arm8636]

I am VERY picky about pixels ..but truth be told, 227ppi on the supenote a5x bothers me not , not at all ...I was surprised when I first used it , I was trying to see the pixels and look closely, but it just ...isn't there 😅

[@bruceclovis]

I see the note series is currently on sale which brings the price of the NA3 down to be level with the Go 10. The NA3 has the 227ppi screen but it can use an SD card and it has the finger print reader. I am going to hang out for the Supernote Note A5x2 NoteMaster.

Looking forward to your full review of this. I ordered one a couple of days ago. I currently am writing everything on the RM2 while reading and studying on the Kindle scribe. I am looking for the GO 10.3 to replace my Kindle Scribe. I have books now on Kindle and Kobo and would really benefit from being able to grab the books from them both. Plus I am 70 yrs old now and my eyes need the larger reader. May occasionally take notes on it as well but the main reason will be reading/studying. Great looking Device as well. Keep up the great work you do.

[@paulc3752]

I LOVE my kindle scribe - the backlight is a major plus

[@Rsmin]

​@@paulc3752glad you are liking it. It's a great ereader for those that need the front light. But one thing i don't do is read in the dark, so that wasn't a priority. It had just been released when i bought it and I was hoping the note taking portion would progress more. But i do like the screen.. Now i need something that will allow other books to be loaded besides Kindle books.

[@Rsmin]

​@@mh017509 The biggest reason is I can not only have my Kindle books on it but I also have Kobo books which I could read from both systems from the GO device. Can't do that with the scribe.

[@JennyvanSon]

Thank you for the initial review! I have been looking for my first e-ink tablet and was waiting for the a5x2 but this seems to be able to match my use case as well :) I have been searching for a good tutorial on how to convert multiple handwritten pages to text and export as txt file on the boox but information seems to be very limited. It would be great to hear more about this and about the file management. People keep saying the Supernote is better for this but on first sight it looks to me the Boox is able to do much of the same when it comes to handwriting notes and file organisation. Would love to hear some more thoughts on this :)

[@Jadeofthenorth]

I feel you and I are in the same place! I’m currently waiting for the A5X2, but this may be better! I’m just a little concerned about the low storage space in this compared to the Supernote. I also want a device where I can essentially write a whole lot of pages by hand then convert to text and export to my laptop for editing and such. I’m wondering if there’s enough space on this or if I’ll fill the storage to quickly.

[@ayannadivineempath]

Wow what a stunning device. Thank you as always for the review

[@goofy_xf6223]

$380 is a damn good price! Especially if I heard correctly that it comes with the pen and case. Idk if I heard you compare pens but what does the pen feel like in comparison to the remarkable pen plus? Also as someone whose just discovered these types of devices and definitely jumped at the 1st one (ReMarkable 2, which I absolutely love), I feel like if they brought the prices down $150-$200 then this market would take off very quickly. I think it’s extremely easy for someone to say “I’m not gonna spend $400 on a notebook “ what do you think?

[@DrinkingDuckDexter]

Would you recommend this over the Air 3 C or reMarkable 2 for note-taking? I'll be starting grad school shortly and want to try e-ink tablets for note-taking. As someone with ADHD I like the ideas behind the reMarkable's minimal extra features, but your other review makes me worry about being able to use the notes I take on my other devices.

[@garytaylor8176]

Looks good but not enough yet for me to consider a move over from my Note Air 3c, but if they do a 13.3 that would be tempting.

[@yensteel]

The mooink one was 0.8 pounds for 13.3 inches, and it feels amazing to hold. but the software was too limiting. A 1 pound 13.3 box go would totally turn heads!

[@Cute_Maxi]

[@DrHuseyinDonmez]

Thank you for your presentation. The Boox Go 10.3 looks really nice, and I'm becoming more and more confused each day. I don't want to give up on the reMarkable, but there is still no news about the reMarkable 3. I will wait until September, and if there is still no news from reMarkable 3, I will probably continue with the Boox Go 10.3. 👍

[@urbanmonkey9457]

Really good video, and honest review. I've just discovered your channel, so I'll definitely watch some more reviews, and for other brands too. The only bad point for the Go 10.3 that I can see so far is that it's already sold out in the UK...

[@dono42]

I would love a 13.3 inch version. Nearly all of my reading are PDFs and reading on anything smaller is quite difficult for long periods of time.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

For sure, the 13.3 size is great for that!

[@publicname515]

How does it compare to writing on the Kindle Scribe? I really like the Kindle Scribe for taking notes it is amazing

[@cosmonz]

I have a scribe as well on love the writing feel too :) But....... I'm seriously considering this though as it's far more open and easier to get files on and off (I have a Nova Air 2 as well)

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, it's a very similar feel to that screen TBH.

[@quekvincent5981]

omg, i love the look of this! Just got myself the Note Air 3c 2 wks ago. I m tempting to get this as well

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, still a great device and probably the better all rounder the NA3C!

[@steverolfeca]

A question: I’m thinking it’s a GO so far, but how is it with a BT keyboard? Brandon Boswell gave it a quick trial w/two different wired USB C keyboards. Heavy lag, and the shift key didn’t work. I’d prefer BT anyway, and hoping that any issues are just a firmware update away…

[@Jadeofthenorth]

Great review. Now I’m very confused. I’ve been holding out for the Supernote A5X2 as I’m looking for something to replace all of my paper notebooks that I use and carry around. Now I’m not sure which to get haha. I’m almost sold on this except the storage is small and can’t be extended and you say the feelwrite 2 is the more paper like feel. I’ve never used an e-ink tablet so it seems Supernote may be the easier one to transition to from paper notebooks.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, it's tough isn't it. You can bet the A5X2 will be great, but this is great and is here now!

[@voicesbeckley3633]

I definitely bought the Remarkable 2 for its looks and feel targeted by this device! Thinner and lighter doesn’t tempt me, but being able to download the Sunday Times to read out in the garden would be very nice! If they do a 13.3 inch I’d definitely want it.

[@edyloi]

Hi congrats on producing another great video. I sold my NoteAir3C previously and gotten a Leaf 3 for reading. However this Go10.3 reinstate my interest on getting a 10inch device again for landscape double page reading. It was not as enjoyable on the NoteAir3C due to the Kaleido greyish limitation. Just wanna check, without the cover glass and front light layer, will the screen of this Go10.3 able to match the Libra 2? Thanks.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Hiya, yeah this screen has a lovely contrast to it, the background is a nice clean white and the ink is dark and bold. I haven't used the Kobo, but I'd say this is one of the best screens that have can get right now!

[@edyloi]

@@KitBetts-Masters Thx Kit, may most likely get 1 unit to try out when its available here!

[@edyloi]

@@KitBetts-Masters Hi Kit, I just got the Boox Go 10.3 and love it! its probably the best e-reader screen I ever come across, better than the Libra 2 (tho reading experience still Kobo edges it due to OS+front light advantage) Now I did not purchase the pen included and opt for 3rd party pen. I do like the Staedtler noris digital classic for it's Nostalgic look, but ppl is commenting that it's rubber feel nib is much better on glossy screen like normal tablet. People also recommend the Lamy Al-Star+Wacom ACK22213 felt nibs to be the best combo, but dont really like the Lamy look... As you sketch a lot of ereaders, do you have any good recommendation for my use case? I will mainly do pencil-like sketching on them like u...thanks!

[@andrewwilkes9681]

Ive been looking at getting an e-ink tablet to help with uni. I was originally looking at the remarkable 2 but this has turned my head a bit. Which one would you say is better? A feature im particularly after is being able to convert hand written notes to a word document/word document text.

[@SEEDOFISRAEL12]

You were the one who sold me on the Remarkable 2 a month aga. I want to get at least 3 years out of it before I upgrade. Hopefully, by then, the R3 will be out.

Absolutely, love the one you are with, you have a great tablet there!

[@sethpeterson8261]

Looks a hell of a lot nicer then previous Boox. But if the notetaking software still isnt close to the Supernotes, still has an asymetrical border, still has weak pen magnets and for some reason has a worse folio than before I cant think of a reason to get it. Ill just wait for the A6x2

[@KevinGamin]

One thing I do like is BOOX moving the charging port to the bottom of the device. I have the Note Air 3C, with the charging port on the side. That gets covered up by the case when it’s closed, which makes charging a little awkward. I could plug the Go 10.3 in without having to do anything with the case.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, it's the more natural spot!

[@rnbdanny]

I'm very interested in this device, nice to see you got it already and testing it. Yesterday I saw someone saying that when you connect a keyboard via the USB-C port, he was having major issues. I hope it's not the case and they fix it because I would plan on working like that... also for it to accept a wired internet connection via the USB-C as well, even though it may only be me using all this 😅

[@marguerit8]

Yesterday was reading outside near pool +33, its hot to handle black and metal device. So I'm glad they made it white and plastic. Water-resistance is a must. Front-lights its a nice feature, but not necessary, especially for better writing experience. I'm excited to wait for Supernote A5 #2, but if they will release it in December or later...oh well

[@adam29334]

I wouldn't hold my breath, also won't supernote be plastic? I had the nomad but returned it due to bad writing feel and the build quality

Go 13.3 without front line and black and white will be amazing. I am looking to buy that.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

That would be a amazing. A Sony DPT but with all the Boox things.

[@larklandmorley]

I was always fairly comfortable just using the RM 2 especially with the keyboard sometimes away from the office. However, the Boox Go 10.3 is very attractive potential as a replacement. Have to see what Supernote and Remarkable come with in the next several months. The GO series looks very neat for my workflow and having android allows me to run AI tools to brainstorm or research away from the regular computer or Ipad. Hope they add a quality keyboard option soon..

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, seems like it would fit your needs great!

Regarding not having had a 300 PPI screen since the scribe, doesn’t the NA3C also claim 300 PPI in B&W? Would be interesting to see a comparison showing if the Go 10.3 screen is any better in terms of B&W resolution

[@edyloi]

Forget the design, materials, and everything but the 300ppi screen. If the Note Air 3 had a 300ppi screen, they would've had a hard time with this device. A Note Air 3 B/W with a 300ppi screen would've been endgame for anyone who didn't want to deal with the drawbacks of Kaleido 3, and that's fair. I have a Tab Ultra and a Note Air 3C, and it's really difficult for me not to reach for the B/W device over the color. The contrast is just so much better, and I can't wait for my GO 10.3 to come in so I can see how much better the contrast is compared to the Tab Ultra and Note Air 3C.

[@steverolfeca]

After messing around w/10” tablets for a couple of years, I’m convinced that it’s time to retire the “Best Tablet” concept. Rule #1, is Know Thyself. Your personal workflow is EVERYTHING. If you write a lot in bed, have a limited budget and shelves full of journals and collect .pdf recipes off the net but never revisit them, then the 128GB Kindle Scribe is your perfect device. Great pen feel, excellent front light, etc. OTOH, if you need waterproofing, advanced handwriting search or conversion capabilities, the ability to organize your library in specific ways or run advanced task management apps, it’s rubbish. I’m currently very happy with the Go 10.3, but that’s not because it’s objectively a better than Supernote, Boox Tab or Note Air series. It totally comes down to how the Go fits my use case.

I would use it in the same way I use my paper notebooks for uni, just make sure the ambient is well lit and I think a lot of people feel the same. I don't necessarily think that the added thinnes and pen being closer to the paper are worth the lack of backlight but it's just not a deal breaker.✌🏻

no it's because there won't be any gap between the pen and the text on the screen, and yes it does make a difference

Almost all of these e-ink devices fail in their ability to fully sync with third-party cloud storage sites (e.g., Dropbox).

[@johnmanley4528]

You’re right. 10.3 is a very odd choice for a name. They should have just called it the Go 10

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Correct, maybe there is already a Go 10 somewhere in existence and they want to avoid that.

Can these play videos?

I bought it from a third party site and it came with no cover. Is it compatible with any other boox cover/folio?

[@aricb3735]

Plastic screen? No glass? That could help with durability...

[@airestocky]

as long as you have to deal with Android it is destracting by design :-)

[@benlangton3484]

I can't understand why they omitted the microsd card slot. Truly disappointing.

the pen looks the size of a toddlers crayon.

[@davidwalker575]

As a request, I do not need to see your face in the top corner of the screen. Particularly with the soft edging, it is very distracting from the main content without adding any real value. As your framing is on the thirds, at times, the PIP was obscuring the actual product you were reviewing.

[@leestevenson1236]

I like seeing your face up in the corner and I really like the soft Looney Tunes circle.

Yes, agreed, we know how he looks like, and we understand that his hands are not talking, that it’s actually him somewhere behind the camera. I don’t understand why some authors have the urge to constantly show themselves. Maybe as a proof of authorship of the video 😂

dont listen to this we love seeing your handsome face at all times

NO FRONT LIGHT!?!?!?!??! what a bummer....

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, can you let me know what are the times that you would miss that the most please?

[@mattx4253]

Should nt these videos be legally labelled as product promotions

[@KitBetts-Masters]

@@mattx4253 Hiya, there's a pretty clear explanation 14 seconds in that Boox sent me the device to review. However, as they have no input into and control over the content it does not qualify as a sponsored video. Most reviews that you watch or read are facilitated by the company sending the product for free. Thanks so much for your comment.

[@mattx4253]

@@KitBetts-Masters I’m trying to work out if I’m listening to adverts from affiliates or product reviews to be honest. I have a RM1 and I’m due an upgrade. More choice on market now so it’s either super note or boox or wait for RM3 as I have RM grandfathered cloud service for free

[@darkstar223]

Don’t listen to his bullshit. You absolutely need to have a lie on devices like this.

[@robintree3306]

Yes I have boox page . I tried using without frontlight but the contrast wasn't great. So I will wait for the device with front light.

[@JamieAdams-vu6if]

Over 1 million Remarkable tablets being sold would suggest different.

without light is actually better for writing

[@LouisGiliberto]

I like a light on my eInk, but the Remarkable doesn't have a light. I had the original Kindles, as well, and they didn't have a light - you just need the same lighting as for reading a book.

[@kend1964]

What do you mean?

[@bocarsall3797]

Not true. I never use the frontlight on my Note Air 2+, except in a complete dark obviously.

I've had a remarkable for a while and never really felt it an issue.

[@mindbodysaul4382]

So it's basically an android reMarkable clone/mutant uggh🤮! As soon as a see the Android, iOS or tiles interface I zone out.😵‍💫 Wow,👏 more of the same ecosystem great, and a "Playstore icon" wow🤢👎. Only reMarkable gets that we don't need that! Or are addicted tot those ecosystems who don't want us to do "good" work but want to keep us hooked and distracted. I can already imagine what the briefing for this device at Boox labs sounded like: Hey, this is a reMArkable we hate it! Costumers love it! So can you build us one that runs on Android we're losing costumers? It's like making a Lightphone run on iOS completely. It completely misses the point! Hard pass for me!👎👎👎👎
