Glance at the Onyx Boox Note Max 13.3 E-Reader
The Onyx Boox Note Max, a black and white e-paper e-notebook, has been designed for freehand drawing, taking notes, and editing PDF files. Despite the official Boox website not explicitly mentioning WACOM support, the Russian site suggests that the Note Max might have a WACOM layer.
The Note Max includes a WACOM EMR digitizer layer, enabling it to support not only the bundled Boox Pen 2 Plus stylus but also third-party WACOM EMR pens such as the Lamy Al-Star. This means the tablet uses WACOM electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology for precise stylus input without the need for charging the pen.
The Onyx Boox Note Max is equipped with a WACOM layer for stylus usage. It has a WACOM license, allowing it to support a wider range of compatible pens compared to other Boox models that use capacitive styluses.
The tablet boasts a Qualcomm 2.8 GHz octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. It also comes with a free pen, supports Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless headphones or earbuds, and has two stereo speakers and a microphone.
The Note Max stands out with a 13.3-inch E INK Carta 1300 e-paper display, offering a resolution of 3200×2400 and 300 PPI. It is the first tablet with this screen size and resolution. The device is compact, with dimensions of 287.5 x 243 x 4.6 mm and a weight of 615 g.
The Note Max is similar to the Kobo Elipsa in terms of pen compatibility. Both devices can use third-party WACOM pens, such as the Lamy Al-Star. However, the Note Max has WiFi (2.4GHz + 5GHz) for fast internet browsing, while the Kobo Elipsa lacks this feature.
