Onyx Boox Note 10.3" vs reMarkable 10.3", getting closer to E Ink perfection
Channel: Charbax

I think the most promising Note E-reader form factor, here I compare devices using the same awesome 10.3" flexible (plastics based) E Ink display at 1872x1404 at 226dpi, in thin and light 320gr (Onyx Note) 350gr (reMarkable) form factors but with different E Ink implementations yet where the Onyx Note seems smoother in the way it manages 2048 levels pressure sensitive note taking (reMarkable also has support for the 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity for note taking I just didn't see all the available note taking modes for it when I tested it), page turning, navigating inside of its Android based UI. While the reMarkable seemed to "blink" more in its (Linux?) based UI and with the note taking also seemingly smoother on the Onyx Note at least based on the current firmware that I was able to test and based on how I was able to use the reMarkable. The Onyx Note is shipping at $549 on https://amzn.to/2NIUApQ while the reMarkable is available at $599 on their website https://remarkable.com/store/reMarkable-and-marker once the perfect Android apps for smart collaborative and productive work are available especially for the Onyx Note (I am not sure how the reMarkable manages evt collaboration work and productivity?), I believe this market segment could grow rapidly to be a very important new market segment. One where creative people will be able to read and work with ideas, with texts in a much more interesting and productive way.
