BOOX Note Air 4C, an e-ink tablet that promises to be an all-in-one solution for productivity, reading, and note-taking. Is it really the ultimate device for both work and leisure, or does it fall short in some areas?
I’ll walk you through everything - from the build quality and display (yes, it’s in color!) to its performance with PDFs, handwriting, note-taking, tech specs, pen latency, pricing, and the best features available. I’ll also compare it to reMarkable Paper Pro, answer the question of who is this device for and whether it's worth the investment for students, professionals, or casual users.

    Thankyou for all the advice but none of them worked, but this did if people are willing to attempt easy to do. 1- split the casing away from the front screen 2 - unscrew all the screws you can see 3 - pop the screen away from the casing from the back 4 - disconnect the battery lead 5 - wait 5 minutes 6 - the screen will still have the frozen page on it with the battery disconnected 7 - attach the battery clip together 8 - reassemble back in reverse order 9 - restart your kindle as normal

    Unfortunately, none of this is working for the current mac kindle app. Appreciate you trying but ive spent an entire day trying and this is no longer possible at least for people who dont have a kindle reader. I believe the new format may be azw8. Anyway looking forward to a workaround if you ever find one. Maybe getting a physical kindle device is the only way now.

    I intend to use Paper Pro for use in capturing notes for my clients. Do I set up a 'File' for each client? And then a Note? ... all of the reviewers I have looked at lose me because you are using words that YOU know but I DON'T ! I would like to see a demonstration of how someone would use the Paper Pro to take notes in a client meeting, and THEN how to file it or organize it so that I can easily go back and review whenever I want and on whatever device it has been synced to. You do a good job of explaining a lot of stuff but when you say 'Beginner' to me, it means I have NEVER used something like this and my brain is wired to pen and paper note taking! I am truly a 'Beginner'!

    I have spent quite a bit time on the reMarkable Paper Pro page. I found out that the company plans on 5 years of further firmware updates after it comes OFF the market and they no longer sell it. I see it being on the market for at least 2 more years while the company plays catchup with Boox. A tablet with support up to 2032 is a pretty compelling reason to go with reMarkable.

    Does the 12th gen have the same problem of getting accidentally turned on/restarted when you prop it up against a wall or something? My 10th gen's power button location _really_ annoys me because I read it both in the portrait position in the day and the landscape orientation at night when I'm lying on the side so no-matter how I set the text, at least one of them always hits the power button and turns off the display

    Hey hey! Thanks for the review. I noticed the PDF you uploaded kept its colors. I am a cognitive science student, and my PDF books contain lots of colors that make it easier for me to remember things. Does Remarkable Paper Pro support the colors from the original PDF files? (I don't expect of course the same brightness or nuances, but just basic red/blue/yellow/whatever.

    • @howtotechstuff
      @howtotechstuff 11 годин тому

      Hey there, RPP does handle colors pretty well and I don't do anything special to my PDFs for the colors to be displayed correctly. I think you will be fine with basic colors but I suspect it may be difficult to differentiate between shades of the same colors or more nuanced colors. You can also check my more recent videos where I do side-by-side comparison with another e-ink device; that may give you some more insights. All the best!

  • @orangemc9358
    @orangemc9358 3 дні тому

    I really dislike when people call it the "budget" or "affordable Kindle." It implies the Paperwhites and above are superior. I have had the Oasis, Scribe, SE, and the base PW. I will always prefer the Basic. Not because it's cheap, or budget, or only viable while traveling. But because it offers a VERY enjoyable experience. EDIT: Also, I'm jealous! Your borders are so symmetrical. Like, where the front bezels meet the back plastic. Especially on the top, there's literally no gap. I've seen quite a few units with uneven left or right cracks and a thick gap on top. I know mine does, alongside a sharp (as though it were not sanded) line on the left-hand side. It's quite sad, really, this will be my second time exchanging. I'm hoping I won't need to a third time.

    • @howtotechstuff
      @howtotechstuff 11 годин тому

      Hey there, I completely understand where you're coming from. The "budget" or "affordable" label isn't meant to imply that the Basic Kindle is inferior in quality or experience. It simply reflects its price point within Amazon’s lineup, making it an entry-level option compared to the Paperwhite, Scribe, or Oasis. That said, I agree the Basic Kindle offers a fantastic reading experience! It's lighter design, compact size, and crisp display make it a great choice for many, regardless of price. I’ve heard similar stories about people preferring it for those reasons alone, even after trying higher-end models. Also, sorry to hear about the uneven gaps and sharp edges on your unit-manufacturing inconsistencies like that can be frustrating. I hope your replacement is flawless this time. All the best!

    My first ereader was the sony prt1, this device had nearly no ghosting or flashing effects when turning the pages... When I see both of the readers, I see that the book has better refresh and doesn't blink when using colors. That is very annoying... I would say that I need an ereader with the size of the remarkable and use of pen and the functionalities, colors,... of the book. So too bad for me, I can't really choose. But if I really need to choose, then I would chose the book because I don't see the screen flash. That is the most annoying thing that I can have in a reader...
