Boox Note Air 2 is one of the new devices released for the end of 2021, and on the surface of things, it looked like an iterative update, unlikely to bring anything really new to the table. This is true only on the surface of things because as soon as you start digging in, the Note Air 2 reveals itself to be one of the best, if not the best 10.3" e-ink tablets on the market today. Join me in the in-depth videos to see the awesomeness that is the Note Air 2.

Just purchased a Note Air 2 instead of the ReMarkable for my wife based on your…. And she loves it Thank you for the detailed review, made my research easier

@n4thb4dc0 Год назад

I had a Nova 3 colour and just got the note air 2 yesterday and the difference is day and night, The Nova 3 might be great for reading colour books and documents but the note air 2 is faster at everything else and text is much sharper too because it doesn't have that extra colour layer

@CompleteMisc 2 года назад

Thanks Voya. I’ve been waiting for this review. I have had a reMarkable 2 which I love for the writing feel but have been wanting more functionality and I’m upset about the subscription model. So I pulled the trigger on the preorder of the Note Air 2. It arrives next week. I bought it based on your excitement with the unboxing and glad to see that I think I will really like it. Much appreciate your very detailed reviews.

@LynneLaRochelle 2 года назад

So i bought the Note Air 2 to check it out using the 30-day money back guarantee. I really thought i might want to replace the reMarkable 2. Despite these videos being spot-on (as always) and despite setting up the device according to the Big Boox Guide, it just wasn’t for me. It turns out that all that functionality distracts me. (The distraction is in the form of “should i use this tool? Maybe there’s an app for that” etc instead of just writing.) The annoyance is that to return the device, there is a $20 restocking fee (understandable) and shipping both ways between US and Hong Kong. I bought from the US store… so that’s more than i expected to spend to try it out :( Anyway just putting that info out there in case it helps someone else

@falsum2701 2 года назад

Small point about X mode: I actually got a lot of use out of it on my Note 2. Even in its earlier versions, it has at least one very powerful use case: Typing! Link your boox device to a bluetooth keyboard, prop it up, and you have a perfect distraction-free digital typewriter. X mode is ideal for this because it means that the characters appear with very little latency.

Hi Voya, I am not in any sense of the word a techie, but I am a writer and I have tried the last three hours to painstakingly follow your fingers as they danced around the canvas adjustment and the templates, as you were heartfelt complaining about the lack of understanding from the staff for people like me, who just bought an Air 2 and are longing to write and now get mired in complexities. Simply said: I would love to have a doublelength notebook template as you so proudly presented it in 54th minute of your great video. A couple of times i thought I had it, but no.... Could you please do a written or filmed step by step about something 99,9% of the people want (your words). I would be very grateful!

@chelldwar 2 года назад

Thanks for the review. This decided the matter for me between Elipsa and Note Air 2. I was initially worried that the price difference between Elipsa and Note Air 2 wouldn't be fully justified, especially if it was an incremental improvement over the Note Air 1 like you were concerned with. Especially since I live in Canada, the price difference is quite steep. I was looking forward to the math function of the Elipsa advanced notebook, but it looks like that is a marginal advantage over everything this one gets right.

@FernandoRodriguez-pj5uh 2 года назад

I used the Elipsa for several months. What I love about it is the text conversion where you convert a few sentences and you can keep writing in the same page and Convert the rest of the text later. What the Note Air 2 has is all the customization and App downloads that Elipsa doesnt have.

Merci à vous pour cette revue détaillée. Dans les notes manuscrites, il est difficile de tourner la page, on peut certes utiliser les signes “” dans le menu mais le mouvement du doigt sur la vitre doit être très précis pour y arriver. Ce n’est pas le cas des documents PDF, un simple toucher à gauche ou à droite tourne la page, comme c’est le cas des liseuses, mais ça ne fonctionne pas pour les notes où le mouvement exigé est très précis : il faut apparemment traverser la vitre du doigt à une certaine vitesse sur une certaine longueur, on se trompe au début une fois sur cinq, c’est assez pénible, mais peut-être n’ai-je pas vu quelque chose. Best regards

Hi Voya, your reviews are absolutely phenomenal ! You have saved me so much time and work, so thank you ! 1) Can you tell me if there is any fingerprint recognition or a 4 digit lock for the note Air 2? Apparently only the note 5 and max lumi 2 have the fingerprint. 2) What do you think of the audio quality (note air 2), since there is only 1 speaker? Is it irritating in any way? Thank you so much for your help !

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Thank you :) 1. No fingerprint sensor on Note Air 2, but yes, you can set a lock pin code. 2. It's ok for voice communication, listening to audio books etc, but anything beyond that, I mean, it's a small mono speaker. Those are there for such basic functionality, nothing more.

@ernestintownandjackintheco1024 2 года назад

Thanks for the review and for addressing the one major headache I have with Notes. I can't make heads or tails of the canvas scaling. It is the one frustration I have with my device, specifically the issues that arise when starting a notebook in portrait mode and then trying to use that same notebook in split screen horizontal mode to take notes on a book. I cannot for the life of me get the notebook to display/function in a good way and it prevents me from using it. Does the user simply need to make a choice when they start a notebook and decide whether to make it a "portrait" notebook or a "horizontal" notebook? I hope this will be covered in depth in the 3.2 video.

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Yes, you have to decide if the notebook will be in portrait or landscape mode. To be fair, I don't know of a single platform that can actually dynamically change between portrait and landscape, as it can't know or keep track of your writing to re order it when switching from one orientation to another. So this is perfectly normal and expected, but the unnecessary complexity of the canvas system is something that should be improved.

@ernestintownandjackintheco1024 2 года назад

@@MyDeepGuide I just discovered something: I use the same canvas as you do, and everything works properly when switching between portrait and split screen horizontal mode IF I start with the Notes application in portrait mode and go to split screen from there (with Kindle on the other side). But I have to start split screen mode from the Notes application, otherwise I will not get the note with the template to display properly. Really wonky behavior, but this works (I’m on the Lumi2).

@docrotten7650 2 года назад

Thanks for your great reviews. I recently purchased a Nova Air. I love it but now see that I will benefit more from a larger device. I am considering the Note Air 2 or Note 5. I don't see much difference except for the shape/form factor which has me confused as to why Onyx has developed both. Is there a more important difference that I am missing? Or should I just chose the shape that would be most comfortable for me?

@carla9039 2 года назад

Do you think that now Note Air 2 is better than A5X in writing experience & annotations or the other way around?

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

It's better in writing experience and in reader functionality, but Supernote still has several functionalities that I absolutely adore, and no other platform has it, primarily for me, the ability to add titles in notebooks and basically create a TOC in your notebook. No other platform has that. Plus, it has amazing pens with ceramic nibs that don't spend, and it's all plastic and robust fall testing they did makes it a more durable and robust device, and it's UI is far friendlier and easier to deal with than the Boox environment. To me, they are equally useful devices while each one has their strong points over the other.

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

No, they are of a different standard. Air 1 pen used a non standard nib that wouldn't accept other, standard nibs, such as Wacom, Remarkable or other "standard" nibs. Air 2 pen is using the normal standard, so it can accept a much wider range of substitute nibs.

@robkraan8183 2 года назад

I think it is possible to transfer via USB-c pdf's from PC to the Note Air, right? How about if the OS of the computer is Linux. Will the reader show up in my list of directories and attached storage devices? I have read that sometimes you don't see the 'Notes' that you created and that you should log in to your Onyx account to remedy such event. How about my downloaded and stored pdf's and epub's, are they always available (also offline) or do they also require a login occasionally. A third and last question concerns the use of dictionaries while reading a (pdf) document. Are there preloaded dictionaries or is it possible to install other/more dictionaries. That dictionary function seems very useful to me. That is why I ask.

@k8chillx 2 года назад

I just got the notebook air 2 (you convinced me!) and came back to this video because I tried to do template to have like a 2 column to write on landscape and when writing it was fine. But then after it is saved and I go back to my note, the notes then get scaled real small and then I have to zoom in to "fit canvas" again. It won't save it to fit canvas, so each time I go out and try to view my note again I kept having to zoom to fit canvas for it to look right. I don't know if that makes sense but you probably came across it. I hope they will update it and fix it!

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

If you used canvas scaling to achieve the side by side columns, then yeah. That's one of the issues I mentioned that the canvas scaling and the template scaling are too fiddly and not working well enough and would have to be improved.

@SoulSerenade 2 года назад

Voya, first of all I want to thank you for your hard work and the great channel that you're running. On the second hand I just want to ask you two questions about which one, for you, is the best 10.3 device just for reading (for me the screen clarity, crispness and battery are all that I'm looking for). Other question is, in case you think 8 inches is better for reading, which one do you think is the best taking into account the battery and the screen clarity and crispness. Thank you very very much, I had to return a kobo sage because of the battery issue that is worst with koreader and I'm looking for something similar or better just to read big fantasy books and probably some academic manuals.

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

There isn't a single device that has all of the things you mentioned as strong points. It's like an RPG character. So you need to prioritize what is most important for you, what's the second most important thing for you and then categorize devices according to your priorities list. Me saying that my favorite 10.3" eNote device for reading is Note Air doesn't mean much to you, because my list of priorities will differ from yours, therefore it might not be the best device for you.

@SoulSerenade 2 года назад

@@MyDeepGuide Thank you very much. You're right, the thing is the best device for me is the kobo sage but the thing is the terrible battery, I can't get more than 5 hours of reading and is the second unit I'm having with this issues. So, I supose, the thing that I want is a device with a similar screen crispness but with more battery than 5 hours. Or, in the other hand I think that, having the carta 1200, the kobo elipsa would look similar (with 227 ppi) and will have a better battery probably?

Voya, thanks so much for an excellent review! I have been looking to buy an eink device for a while, and waiting for the software to catch up to make it worthwhile. I am thinking of buying Note Air 2 based on your review, but I was wondering if you could say something about security and privacy concerns with the device. Should I be worried? Is there anything you can do to protect your data? Especially as I plan to use it for email/linking my googledrive/dropbox to the device to sync my notes, it makes me concerned. I am also thinking about Supernote A5X as a second choice, and if you have thoughts on security of one vs. the other, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again for all of your helpful reviews!

@instance3954 2 года назад

Hi Voya, thanks for the great reviews! Do you have any suggestions on how to take care of the battery? I had a boox note and after roughly two years the battery died, now I have note air 2, and it's great, so I would like it to last.

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Sure, there are a couple of general things to keep in mind: 1. Avoid rapid charge and rapid discharge at the same time, for example, keeping it plugged in and using it as an external screen, or playing videos etc. 2. Avoid discharging below 20%. And if you really are worried and you want to get the maximum out of the battery, then it shouldn't be charged over 80% either. There might be apps out there that could help with that process. I charge it to a 100%, but don't let it discharge below 25%. 3. Avoid leaving the device exposed to direct sunlight or around a heat source, while charging. Heat is the number 1 enemy for batteries. These tips apply equally to any device.

@incarnam132 2 года назад

Thanks for this review. I decided to buy this device, but I have a question. What if this soft plastic protector gets damaged or worn over time? Since it's not removable. Do you think that placing a the doodroo screen protector for preventing damage is too much? And will it increases the distance between the nib of the pen and the screen surface too much? Thanks for your amazing work

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Well, if you bang it hard enough to damage the screen protector, likelihood is that will break the screen as well, in which case the damage to the screen protector will no longer be important. If you use the device normally and you don't use ceramic nibs, I really don't see that happening in the normal lifespan of a device like this. Adding another screen protector is an overkill and it will just degrade the performance of everything, pen, distance touch, image clarity. So no, that's not something I would consider doing.

@ossamaa2357 2 года назад

Hey man, amazingly detailed reviews! Love all the work that you put intonthese videos. Ive got a question about the pen nibs. Pretty much everywhere i do find the nibs online they say nit compatible with air line but with note 2. You mentioned its the standard nibs on this pen then whats the deal with all those incompatibility warnings on the marker nib sales? Ive just got the nite air 2 and cant seem to decide what nibs to get. Any help would be immensely appreciated❤

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Note Air 1 and Nova Air came with an older version of the pen that looks the same as the new one, but those pens used a custom, non compatible type of nibs. Thankfully, Nota Air 2, Max Lumi 2, Note 5, Nova Air C all come as standard with the new pen, which is better and uses a "regular" nib standard, something that the majority of EMR pens out there use, such as the Remarkable and standard Boox Nibs.

Have you ever used an e ink device for any kind of public speaking? What are your thoughts on that?

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

I use it regularly on my lectures, I have everything setup and ready in case it's needed, so that when I need to present something on the screen, I just grab it, draw or write or show what I want to show and that's that. So, it basically replaces the whiteboard and the added plus is that what I show geta captured by the screen recorder, so the explanation is available in the lecture capture video, for students to reference back to, or for those who couldn't make it to the lecture.

By "ruining the battery" you mean like physically damaging it? Because I could see myself using this outdoors in situations with a lot of subtropical sun (yay e-ink) and I know that heat is not good for any battery.

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

I mean keeping it plugged in to charge while continuously discharging it by either using it as an external monitor or doing anything that is putting the device into a state of rapid discharge, while rapidly charging it at the same time, and doing that for months, and doing that in very warm conditions. Any battery will give up and turn into a puffer fish, if exposed for long enough to that kind of torture.

I just received my note air 2 and one of the main reasons I choose this over the supernote was your review. I do want to use this for work and I have a form we use with every client that is a fillable PDF... how do I put this form on my device so I can pull it up and save it for each client and still have my original?

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Simply transfer the PDF file onto the device and then each time you need a new version for a new client, long press on the PDF, make a copy, paste it where you want to, rename it accordingly to match the client and then fill it out. So basically, just make a copy of the original each time you need it and make sure it's placed into a logical directory and named properly.

@dognip 2 года назад

How do you misuse a device like this in a way that harms the battery? If you let it plugged in for too long, many times? :/

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Basically you need to put the device in a state of rapid discharge and charge for a very long period of time (weeks, months). That will keep the batteries in a state of constant overheating, shorten their lifespan, and in most extreme cases, they will die and inflate, and potentially cause other damage as well. Any device and any battery that is mistreated like that will eventually suffer the same fate.

Hello ! Thank you for your nice work, I decided to buy it. But I have a question : is it possible to invert the note taking so we get an inverted image ? just like the inverted image we can see on this video at beginning ? Thank you !

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Yes you can, but you need ro make your own custom inverted templates and use the white color on the brush/pen.

Would it be too hard for the right handed reviewers to step in the boots of a left handed for a minute please. And vice versa. It seems nobody in the internet knows if it can be rotated fully around so that the pen would stick to the left hand side, and that the OS would be fully rotated as well.

You said the battery is 3,000 mAh for this device? The Note Air 2 I have and the Boox site say it's 2000 mAh. I'm curious bc I want to make sure your battery test that gives over 100 hrs for low consumption applies to my device too.

@MyDeepGuide 9 месяцев назад

It doesn't say 2000 mAh, it says 3000 for NA2 and 3700 for the NA2+. shop.boox.com/products/noteair2

Thank you. Because of you I have just had delivered my Note Air 2! What would be your recommended settings and also would you recommend using a screen protector?

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Note Air 2 has a non removable pre-applied screen protector film, which is the whole point of upgrading to the Note Air 2, so no additional screen protector is needed. As for settings, this will be a separate video, since things have changed from my original Big Boox Guide and the OS 3.2.

I have sort of two questions: Since I have the first Boox Note Air and the Samsung pen (you recommended), I have not been too happy with the pen. Have you tried the Noris Digital Jumbo from Staedtler? If so, would you recommend it? Or should I try the Boox Note Air 2 pen? [FYI I have applied a writing surface on the Air which works great.]

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

I haven't tried it, but it does seem like a good choice. I have my trusty Samsung S6 Lite pen that has a button for an eraser, and I like to use that one, though some people find it to be too thin.

@leoponce82ponce Год назад

How is the durability of the screen. Compared to a standard smartphone screen. Is it softer?

@MyDeepGuide Год назад

Note Air 2 has a glass top screen that has a paperlike structure laminated to it. So hardness is the one of glass, but because of the paperlike surface and the soft nib pen, it feels a lot softer to write on, than on a regular tablet/phone. As for durability, I don't know what the hardness grade of the glass is, so I can't offer much more insight there, unfortunately.

can you confirm if the new pen attaches magnetically to the old Note Air? I'd like a pen that attaches magnetically and has a hardware-level eraser mode, but don't want to buy a whole new tablet after less than a year for that functionality

Yes it does, better than the old pen, but not as good as it does to the Note Air 2.

@OilPainter01 2 года назад

The canvas adjustments are a nightmare. I'm using the 20 point lined template and like it quite a bit. However, when I try to pinch to zoom in or out, or try to scroll, sometimes this changes the canvas height or width, and then everything is messed up. I cannot get things back to the state before that happened, and the handwriting is out of sync with the template lines. Do you have any advice for using the lined template and preventing this kind of mess?

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Absolutely none, as it's as you described and I complained in the video and mentioned to Boox, the way it "works" now is severely flawed. Yes, there is technically a way of achieving a result, but it's ridiculously convoluted and not really something that can be normally used ,as it's akin to a project, where the order of each of the steps determines if the end result will be a mess or if it will work. The only advice I have is to avoid using it, if you can, u til they fix it properly and to disable pinch to zoom, because accidental zoom can also cause an unholy mess. They should just scrap the canvas feature, because what they have here is borderline useless. What sometimes works for me is exiting the notebook, entering again, changing the template, exiting again, entering again and then changing back. But only sometimes.

@OilPainter01 2 года назад

@@MyDeepGuide that’s hilarious. The disabling of pinch to zoom is a great tip, thanks! May I ask another question: I see a lot of icons and I don’t know what they do. Is there a reference that I could go to that tells what what each icon is for? I know when I customize the toolbar I can longpress and it will tell me, but that doesn’t cover all the icons. I don’t know why they would assume that people know what all the icons mean. Sorry one last question: how can I disable pinch to zoom in Notes? I cannot find that.

If you purchased the nib for the old pen, Note Air 1, then it won't work, and if you compare them you will see that they are of a different standard, and thus, incompatible.

@pillahsaar 2 года назад

Hello Voja, great videos. I have a few questions - 1. I understand from your videos that the One note app is buggy both on boox air 2 and supernote A6 - but since both these are android apps, I asm assuming we can install chrome and access one-note web view. What is the typing experience like in one note via chrome? 2. Do both these devices convert handwritten text into typed text? 3. Can I connect these devices to my PC like an additional screen and share it in communicator tools like skype or MS teams? 4. Can I install apps like Grammarly for spelling and grammar correction? If not is spelling and grammar correction available natively

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

Basically it's a no on all of the things you mentioned regarding the OneNote. One note is not available on the Supernote and One not will not work quickly when accessed from the web browser, if it works at all. Suprenote doesn't convert entire pages of handwriting to text, but it has other functionality that does, if used correctly and regularly, replace the need for it (titles and keywords in notebooks). Boox does support screen sharing on windows 10. For other platforms you will need to find and use an app that will allow you to do that. Super it can't to that yet. I haven't tried grammarly. If it exists as a separate Android app, then yes. If it's a browser extension, then no, as that doesn't work on Android.

@pillahsaar 2 года назад

@@MyDeepGuide thanks for the quick reply voja. If there is not hand written text to typed text conversion, can I search for a string? If I can't that basically takes away the main benefit of a digital notebook for me (easier searchability). I think remarkable has hand written to typed search conversion. So remarkable would allow searching, I am assuming? But not sure if it allows sharing screen with windows?

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

No, remarkable doesn't have search capabilities of handwritten notes. Boox and Mobiscribe are the ones that so have this functionality.

One thing you didn't compared is the pression sensitivity of the pen. While it's not that bad, it' not good either..

I tested the pen on different devices and the actual pressure sensitivity of the pen is very good. The brushes themselves are the ones that have a fairly limited sensitivity range, and that's something that I have criticized the platform for, very many times.

That will depend on the formatting being used, as it will directly affect the number of pages, i.e. smaller font and margins equals less pages, larger font and margins equals more pages.

It depends if the review actually spends time and uses the device for a lengthy period of time, or just grabs it, scribbles a few lines and mock words and then makes a determination based on that.

For some reason certain documents or files won't transfer to my boox through the autosync app... It says that it fails but then if I go to the google drive app on the device and try to download it it works. Is there a reason why autosync may not be full swapping the files over from my google drive?

@MyDeepGuide 2 года назад

It can be several things, wifi connection, app cache getting wonky, or simply 8ncorrect synchronization pair. It'd try these things: 1. Restart the device and then try ro resync 2. Delete the file from GDrive, resync the autosync app after deletion, then re-upload the file to Google drive and attempt to synchronize again.
