Boox (Onyx)
Boox Note Air 3
The better writer of the pair — no colour filter between pen and ink, a brighter panel and longer battery, and reviewers rate its surface among the best of the frontlit tablets. Honestly a very small step up from the Note Air 2 Plus: a microSD slot and a slightly quicker chip. Effectively out of production, so treat it as a secondhand proposition.
