That felt like a very very honest review. I really respect that. Good job and I look forward to more of your videos about eink.

That was a nice honest review of the device. I own one and love it, but I understand it’s not for everyone.

Ow yeah.... and if you boox broke....you lose your agenda ???

I buy 1. Works 1 week. I close my case and screen implode from inside. Common problem. Look at internet an there many people same issue.... But what say the seller . I DROP IT ??? I did not drop it or press. And it not connected to your fhone alone....it connect to China government to. Look wiki about boox.....

EDIT: Turns out you can move files in the stock OS using the “Cut” command. Honestly, though, I still find the OS pretty clunky-I’ve never thought of “Cut” as the same thing as “Move.” Would love to hear anyone else’s thoughts on the OS as well!

Thanks for a great video. I’m currently considering an e-Ink device, most likely the Go 10.3, to replace my paper notebooks for University study. I’m keen to be able to move around pages to match up lecture notes, reading notes and lab notes, which are often a few weeks apart, and also annotating research PDF’s. Your point about whether I really need to replace paper notes is spot on.

Very appreciative of you (as a real user, and not somebody promoting such devices implicitly or explicitly) summing up some very important cons for my use case. I‘ve been dreaming of this device (or the Note Max soon to come, or the Supernote A5X2 to come whenever), but you might have just convinced me to forego all three of them, since the lack of a light would probably lead me to use it a lot less (as in your case, too). Now using a Kindle Scribe, and wishing for more and better notetaking features, but not at the cost of having to go hunting for a spot with enough light just in order to jot something down or read a bit before going to bed. Sure, I could just keep using the Scribe for dark or nighttime conditions, but why have to deal with 2 devices just for better notetaking features? Also, your point about the clunky Boox OS really hits home. I detest learning curves and complexity. So if any of the upcoming devices might still be worth trying, I suppose the A5X2 (despite the lack of a light) would be the only one. Maybe just better to pass.

I've had my Go 10.3 for just over a month now. Similar experience as you on the default pen, so I've got both the Staedtler Noris Jumbo and also the Lamy pen. My preferred pen tip for Lamy A-Star is the PC/EL 3.5mm pointier tip. I've also tried the Staedtler Noris Jumbo pen tip inside Lamy which also works well. The writing feel is pretty good, a bit different from my Supernote Nomad. Definitely better contrast and easier on the eyes compared to Note Air 3C which didn't work for me.

My mainstay is the A5X but I also have the Boox Lumi2 and Notebook Air 2 Plus for running a few Apps to compliment the A5X, apart from having access to all the Apps on _'Google Play'_ i have found the _'Split Screen Mode'_ that comes with Boox devices very helpful indeed. Thanks for the video, appreciated.

Oh nice! Maybe I'll buy it! Thanks

Hi man 3 months later, do you still read manga on it? I want to buy it mainly for writing and manga.

Thanks for a great video. I’m finishing second year of uni and have been using paper notebooks up to now but the Remarkable 2 caught my attention for better sorting my notes, then the Boox Go 10.3 when I started looking into it.

Quality video man! It was refreshing to hear your take on digital minimalism. I agree with what you mention about creators expressing how you can become a minimalist through purchasing product x and y. Where in reality, you can simply alter the technology you already own to transition into a digital minimalist lifestyle. I saw the James Scholz inspo from the beginning too haha, he is definitely quite inspiring when it comes to getting the most productive use out of technology.

after 3 months how is it?

This was informative! Is the device stable? Are apps, especially the third party ones, crashing a lot?

Would personally love to see a video on your workflow with this device! Great review 😊

I recently got into this. There are so many 'I've turned my Iphone into dumb phone' videos which are great. I wish I don't have android so I could delete this app since it's really what's my kryptonite

Is this the default Boox OS? It looks like Niagara launcher

Nice video and I've also purchased the Go 10.3 last week and so far loving it. Btw, I am interested in Data Science and could you tell me the name of the book you showed at @6:30? Thanks!

me watching james, i might start go into digital minimalism. (except I'm keeping my phone and laptop due to school work hehe)

Deleting non-essential apps is a great start, but like you said, making the Home Screen boring is the winner! And pairing that with reducing animations via Accessibility settings really gives it that dumb phone feel. I use the Dumb Phone app to then to swap out coloured app icons with simple text buttons to get that complete muted look

Owning one phone seems more minimalist than 5 gadets, smh.

"digital minimalist" by carrying 20 devices. Its simple buy a phone, and just don't install social media apps.

You know, I am so glad I found this. I have felt like the "weird" one among my friends (we are all born in the 80s and 90s) and they seem to not understand why I want to go back to what we used to have, with more devices that do less things instead of one device that does it all. Part of my reasoning is exactly like yours, I realized how much I was missing out on my schoolwork and getting behind, as well as how crappy I was feeling by all of the social media consumption and doom scrolling. I didn't realize what the term was called, but yeah! I definitely consider myself to be an aspiring digital minimalist. I am in school for Software Development, and I am so much more into the old school ways of programming, the old tech and languages, and the history of computers more than the new stuff, and it makes me feel like such a weirdo! haha

Good video. In this day and age, I don't think it is practical for most people to have anything other than a modern phone. Features like texting, uber, mobile banking, 2fa, weather, internet access, navigation, etc. are all genuinely good things that improve quality of life. Because of this, buying a less capable phone for the aesthetic of living in a less online time to intentionally deprive yourself of features doesn't really work in the long term.

I work as a social media manager, so i rely on most of these things. Went on vacation and moved my app limit on social media apps down to 30 minutes a day. From day 2 I didnt even needed that. Its really really interesting how addictive and fast this technology really works and how fast you can improve your mind, mental health and also simple things like your senses just by reducing screen time. Great perspective :)

The T2 on the thumbnail drew me in but I stayed because I loved your perspective. Great video. Subscribed 🫡

commenting for algorithmic bump, just wanted to say i'm literally shopping for a new phone right now when your video popped up, ive been using the same motorola for about 4 years now and when the screen smashed earlier this year i began to use my older 6+ year motorola instead, the last few months theyve both steadily got worse with features not working like camera etc and slowing down until eventually ive decided i need a new one to replace them both. What this period has taught me is how little i actually need on my phone, when you literally dont have space or ram for games and you try to use it as little as possible it shows what you actually need, so i'm just going to buy a motorola from a couple of years ago that has memory enough for spotify and leave it there. keep up the good work, new subscriber here!

I've not had a modern phone for almost a year now (made the change last October) and it is probably the greatest decision I've made for a long time, I started reading again, making more music and without a super addictive phone I've been able to get on top of things. I started out on a Nokia 3310 and technically downgraded to a 7110 (which came out in 1999, the year before the 3310) but I actually think it's a lot cooler of a phone. What I find strange is that I have spoken to a lot of my peers and they say that they really love what I'm doing etc and they 'wish they could change to a dumb phone... but' and there's always something holding everyone back, for me it was listening to music. But I got over the loosing out on some things. I saw my phone became an issue and I got rid of it, and so should anyone else who has developed an addiction for these things. It might be weird at the start but you get used to it quickly

I just blocked social media on my phone. Hardly use it anymore

great video !!!! and def agree with the sentiment. kindles are amazing. i really enjoyed the book Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke when i started reading last year, def recommend

you mentioned disabling colour through accessibility - i actually did that the other day, but instead of going full black and white i just decreased the colour saturation by adjusting the intensity of the colour tint. you can easily toggle it off by adding a toggle in the control center so it's easy to view photos in full colour! i deleted all my social medias last year (apps not accounts) except for snapchat (but just got rid of snap the other day bc of the stupid discover stories). i was still accessing facebook through my web browser to fill the mental void so i blocked it through settings (if you have a mac this means you can't access the site on your computer either without disabling the restriction). already screen time is improving (2 hours a day so far) and all im using it for is to check/write emails, text friends, search stuff on google or play scrabble with friends. nice video, only thing i was going to critique is cutting out when you say um, but i know that its probably left in to seem more genuine which i appreciate. not sure if you had a script for this vid or were just spitballing but yeah idk just wanted to give some feedback. (i just watched another video and it was really well edited and no ums or ahs so sorry this feedback is probably not valid!! but didn't want to delete it from my comment all together) good to see someone promoting this idea without also promoting consumerism in order to achieve the goal!

Im glad theres a community, just the other day i was looking into e-ink dummy phones, or just getting a burner lol

I didn't know that there was a community for this kind of thing but it shows how deep into consumerism people are that they think they gotta buy a load of stuff to just to stop using their phone. so good vid!! i'm waiting for my current phone to break beyond use and then i will get a simple phone

As a tech enthusiast I’m not giving up my iPhone 15 pro max The animations are too nice

nice vid my son

damn u live like that?!?!?!?!??

Nice! I'm going to pull the trigger on getting the Boox Go. Watched a lot of reviews but really appreciate your upfront observations and showing the device in more normal lighting rather than studio lighting. Cheers! (Subscribed)

how do you read manga there? do you use a manga app or you just downloaded the pdf? i really want an e-ink, i am waiting for the a5x2 but i don't know how manga would be read there 😅

Thanks for a good review. I would be grateful if you can share the actual screen dimensions of go 10.3 (not the whole device just the screen). So that I can have a concrete idea of the screen real-estate before making the decision since I have to use it for acdemic study. I searched over the web and there is not even a shred of information regarding this.

Great review! I have the go 10,3 as well coming from ipad pro. What is the launcher you are using? Niagra? I have never found the right settings for a launcher in the e-ink center, are you using A2 mode and what are your other settings in e-ink centre? It looks great!

like for the SM58

Nice video! Are you planning on doing an update video of using the GO 10.3?

Can we get a 30day review on the Boox Go ?

Oh nice

why hello there

i don't know why i held off watching this. im literally tagged in this. LMAO
