CORRECTION: Remarkable flip book folio DOES have a magnetic strip to hold the cover closed.
Yes, a very good idea to keep the folio closed. But it's even more a pity that it doesn't allow auto-wake up...And bravo for the video and its exact duration of one hour to the second!
Has there been any cheaper options available? Xiaomi mijia is good but it doesn't have memory.

Wow! You're a legend! Thank you 🙏
Never before have I seen (or read for that matter) a review that was able to answer all my questions/concerns as much as this one did. Thank you so much, you are a class apart! I made my decision and so should everyone for their needs. Cheers
Thank you very much :)
I agree very impressive review. With a big picture while addressing many specific concern for different populations. Thanks for sharing. And very valuable review
What did you decide on?
What did you pick?
Supernote :) I did end up buying a separate e-reader with it (one of the main reasons why I was tempted by the Boox)
Now this is a review. I was close to buying the remarkable 2 since it was the popular name when I became interested in e-ink. Then I saw how elegant the supernote was and watched many videos about both. I almost settled with the Boox due to how snappy it was compared to the other two and how much you could do with them, but I did not like the practicality of their pens and folios. In the end I chose the supernote a5x because I wanted a replacement for paper I could take on the go. It's got slower menus, but the build quality and non-glass screen coupled with the ceramic pen nibs sold it for me over the others. I didn't need another multitasking device since I already have an ipad that can do much more than any of these. I wanted something that looks elegant, is practical, and can achieve my main goal which is writing and taking notes quick.
How has your experience been of using the SuperNote so far?
i had the same approach, and 2 weeks after getting it, i'm not disappointed at all !
I have never felt compelled to comment on a UA-cam video before but WOW you reviews are so in-depth for an analytical nerd like me. 5-minute surface level stuff leaves me so unsatisfied when considering large purchases like this and you NAILED IT. Excellent quality and organization as well. Keep it up man!
Thank you very much :)
Dear Voja, your reviews are SUPERB. The methodology, the thoroughness unmatched, you're shooting for the stars!
So glad we have this thorough level of inspection and consideration available to us 💌 thank you deepguide
Excellent comparison, Voja. I really like your detailed analysis of different aspects of the three devices - you make choosing the right one a lot easier. Thanks!
my god man! its like you read my mind!....was waiting for this video to compare all together. Thank you ....TOP MAN
Well organized video, time stamps, clear audio, clear explanations... cannot thank you enough! This really helped my decision.
I just bought a note air, It now comes with the screen protector applied from the factory so its writing feels is much improved, its better as good if not better than the remarkable 2 which it replaced. I replaced the remarkable many because the notes are just not readable once you export them but it was also just to limited in functionality. So far the Note air feels generations above the remarkable 2.
This is the most outstanding review I've ever seen. You've really spent a lot of time using and experiencing the device to be able to provide the insights you have. Thank you!
Thank you! :)
I thought same. He obviously cares about quality more than cheap views, so he is happy to get 'deeply' familiar before he gives his ultimate review!
Man you are so pleasant to listen to! Your reviews are so detailed and your approach is very balanced whyle showing your opinion clearly.
Well done! Your reviews are always well orgnaized, thorough and delivered flawlessly. I just received my new SuperNote A5x a few days ago and I absolutely love it. I got the Lamy pen version and like you said it’s a joy to use. I completely agree with your assessment of each device as I have also owned a Boox and ReMarkable. I also get the feeling that SuperNote is more responsive to their user’s requirements than the other manufacturers. I look forward to watching your future videos. Thank you.
Thank you for letting us know, that makes my choice much easier
yes thank you
If remarkable doesn't fix their horrible software or open source it, they are going to be left behind. You can't rest upon the "writing feel" forever. That novelty only lasts so long, and the dev team at Remarkable is simply not listening to the community. No worries. We will simply move on to your competitors, dinguses. Great review
Hi Voja. Thank you for another excellent review. Many months ago, I saw your review of Supernote and bought an A6 (compact form factor and writing feel being priorities). Do not regret my choice. Agree with your observations. Cheers!
I bought the Note Air 4 months ago. I always look at your reviews with pleasure.
it's all true what you say. My summary is that the note air is a tablet with an e-ink display. This is its best advantage, but this is its biggest flaw. It does a lot of things, but it doesn't excel at any of them, and if you put together the cost for accessories and improvments, it equals the cost of the RM2 complete with everything..
In summary
Tot. Note Air: 640 €
Boox note air: 480 €
Protection cover: 40 € (changed 3 times)
Pen Improvement: 80 € (because the original is cheap)
Improvement of writing: 40 € (doodro film)
time spent: xxx hours
Total RM2: € 640
Remarkable 2: 640 €
Native Cover: 140 € (leather)
Pen: Marker plus (100 €)
Device: 400 €
Time taken: 30min to place the order.
My experience with the device;
I bought the Note Air 4 months ago (480 €), and it is still with me. But I would not give 8.3 as a rating, I would say a maximum of 5.5.
Personally, I need an object that replaces the paper notepad, and allows me to view what I write in the conference calls. Obviously without losing my notes. It all ends here. I believe that anyone who comes close to these devices is looking only for this. The Note Air potentially does a lot, but nothing done excellently.
And the accessories:
Boox Cover (€ 40)
A defect of the note air, which really disappointed me, is the quality of the accessories. The original covers are cheap. And there are no alternatives, as its form factor is atypical.
I changed 3 original Boox folio covers in 4 months, and thanks to Amazon, I was able to make returns. All with the same defect: the plastic part breaks after 1 month, and the protective grommets disintegrate even earlier.
the Improvements:
Pens (€ 80)
The original Boox Styilus is really bad and basic.
I bought the Samsung S6 Pen (+ 40 €). Everything ok, it writes better than the original, it is magnetic, and it has the erase function. But it's not a comfortable pen, you can't write for long sessions, it wasn't meant for that, and the original Nibs can't be found, and it's now in the drawer.
I bought the Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo (40 €). Perfect, but it's not magnetic, I don't know where to store it when I'm not using it, and I have to keep it in my pocket or purse, and a nibs has already been damaged for that.
writing feeling (38 €)
Let's face it, writing on the note air, with the Noris Jumbo is certainly compared to the original pen, but you always have the feeling of writing on a glass (like a tablet, let's be clear in saying it).
So, I bought the Doodroo Paperlike Screen Protector For Boox Note Air. Feeling improved, but after a while, it lost its roughness, plus the nibs wear out very quickly.
In summary, Boox note Air, has the approach of Android devices, promises a lot, achieves a lot, but does not excel in any of them.
Personally I believe that the RM2 pushes a lot on marketing (a lot of marketing), it does little, but some things it does in an excellent way, and the cost in the end is the same.
Hey there, have you also got/tried the remarkable? Which is your fave for note taking of all?
@@Kaseymaree I'd also like to know what their new thoughts are
The most thorough and useful review I have found for professional tech. Thank you for having such a detailed review to help me make my decision.
Awesome comparisons. This really give a good idea what these 3 devices are about. Lots of very good observations
Thank you for the amazingly thought out reviews!
Thank you for this. It was long but really helped me decide which device was bas for me. Answered every question I could have
Thank you for filming these informative videos. They really help a lot.
Thanks for the excellent review especially the note taking section, almost purchased the remarkable specifially for note taking and had no clue of all the limitations. Leaning towards the Supernote !
Ditto. 👍🏾
Same here!
Did you ever get the super note? How is the note taking going?
@@jamesapt66 I did. I really like writing on it and it has replaced my notebooks. I am not a student though. So I don't know how it would be for long term note taking. But I use it for to do list, finances, recipes and scheduling and have downloaded other templates to it.
Apart from my favourite movie reviewers (Margaret and David), I think you're the best reviewer I've ever seen. And that was probably the best review of a product I've ever seen. I was up all night watching many videos - I could have just watched yours!
This video was so helpful! I had all my questions answered and even some that I didn't think to think of! Thanks for this deep dive comparison of these devices. Our organization went with the Boox Note Air 👍🏾
wow this video helped so much! for weeks i thought i'd buy a remarkable because i want to read my pdfs on an e-ink screen but now i am absolutely sure there are better options for me. thank you so much for covering the reading experience!
This video was super helpful for me! Just ordered a SuperNote A5X largely prompted by this video as I was originally strongly considering the RM2. You made many great points that led me to further investigation and I see a lot of advantages to the SN for my use case.
Glad to hear that it helped make your decision :)
Amazing review. Loved the format with categories and rankings.
Nice job!! This video was SUPER helpful!!
This is a superb review! So in-depth and informative. Thank you!
Just WOOW man! Excellent video, cant ask for more! Thanks man tremendous effort, very useful!
Amazing review! As a rM1 user I was wondering how much its competition is capable of. Now I know! Thank you :)
Thank you so much for creating this valuable resource!
what an outstanding review ! You managed to convince me, before I was torn between those three but now I know the Supernote A5X is exactly what I need :D
Thank you so much for the time stamps!!
This is brilliant! Thanks so much for this detailed review, I really needed this, great content 🙏. I was really close to buy remarkable 2 but all the reviews regarding them being non-responsive and unhelpful when it comes to issues really put me off and was worried to go ahead with the purchase. Your detailed review of these 3 really helped me decide to go for super note. Thanks a million! 🤗
Just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊
Thank you, almost bought a remarkable - still deciding between boox and supernote, subscribed :)
buy remarkable. boox is just poor tablet with e ink
La mejor review que he visto por mucho.
¡Muchas gracias por la excelente información!
This is just genius
The whole point system n the way it is presented is just top notch
For me thickness of Supernote is an advantage. It gives me feeling of writing on newly unpacked notepad, not filled with notes yet.
Gotta say, I like its hefty weight for it's rather small size.
Excellent detailed comparison. Very helpful.
😄 As a (two actually) Supernote owner I agree with your opinions about it.
I am watching your video on my own and when I do not agree I comment like "nooo, why?", then you explain and it always ends up with a "Ah. Ok, yes, you are right". LOL
This is the most useful, in depth, and comprehensive review of all reviews I've ever seen. Nice work.
Agreed! Makes you want to jump the gun, but wallet says otherwise.
Simply phenomenal review! So helpful. Thank You!
thank you man this was the best legit the best review ive watched im so glad i found you
Thanks for the fantastic breakdown of these three devices.
Fantastic, indepth review. Thank you!
Thanks so much for a great review, so well done and so detailed, great work
Thanks for the amazing and thorough review! For anyone interests in the Boox Note Air, I got my Boox Note Air and its cover around two weeks ago. The screen protector has been pre-applied by default; it does save me from the hassle of applying it. The new cover also uses a plastic holder to hold the machine instead of the 3M tape shown in the video. Boox is really listening to the feedback from its users.
Did you purchase a different pen? Which one?
@@Ryan-fp3vw I use the stylus that comes with Boox Note Air because its functions suit what I need already.
I have watched so many reviews of these devices. HANDS DOWN the best, most comprehensive, and well organized.
Thank you very much :)
@@MyDeepGuide I’ve watched so many of these reviews and RM2 is always a favorite. My hang-up is the inability to search handwritten notes. Is there some sort of work around?
By the way, love the 40 mins Pillow Testing! So thoughtful and thorough.
Thank you for your extremely detailed and broad analysis! Never seen anyone else break it down so well.
It's a shame that reMarkable has such limited features when it could easily have had way better functionality as well as its amazing pencil-on-paper feel. I was almost going to buy it but after doing some in depth research and seeing this review I'm glad I didn't rush. I think it's going to be the Supernote A5X for me.
Thanks! Your revue really helped me to take a decision.
Fantastic, detailed review. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
This was really really helpful!!
I love my RM1 but the note air just replaced it. Your section about customizability and versatility really resonated with me. Remarkable really needs to make the user experience much smoother and simpler (eg. adding templates).
I got the RM1 with the Pen and Folio for $299. Considering the software limitations, they really should be selling the RM2 with the pen and basic folio for $350. Also the plastic screen on the RM1 seems to be more durable then the glass on the RM2... I've seen a few posts on reddit where people have broken the RM2 glass with minor drops.
@@GetOffMyyLawn Wait, I'm confused. Which one did you find better? You repeated yourself or the product at one point.
Thank you - this helped a lot! Well done, perfect conclusion. I googled, read, searched...but this answered all of my questions :)
Long, but one of the best reviews for ANYTHING I've ever seen!
Excellent comparison. Thank you for your perspective. I still love my rM2 in spite of its flaws. It's like my favorite sports teams in that way.
I'm so glad to hear this. I just purchased mine without knowing these other ones existed. Wish I'd seen this video first but glad you like yours!
Great review as usual. I have a Note Air and use it for work and personal use.
This video helped me make my decision. I have decided on the supernote A5X. Thank you for the review.
So thorough! Thanks so much!!
There are rewies and then there are YOUR reviews. Great job!
Not trying to sell one over the other and giving clear explanations to every category. And very important: it doesn't end with a three way tie just to keep all potentioal sponsors happy.
I was quite setteld on the Remarkable (probably because of their marketing) but now the only thing clear to me is that I'm not getting that one, lol.
I would LOVE to see this redone in light of the SN updates AND the Note Air 2.
Thanks for the great video. Even though I ordered my Boox Max Lumi a couple of days ago I still found it interesting to watch the video
Thank you very much for the comprehensive review
thank you. your review is really helpful.
Wow, this is such a comprehensive review❤❤❤
First and only review I found pointing out limitations of reMarkable 2. Thank you I almost made a huge mistake.
Amazing detailed review 👍
This was very informative and useful.
A very informative review!
What would be great is a comparison of those tablets with the new Boox Note Air 2. I have heard that the writing feel is extremely improved.
This review is GREAT :D
I appreciated you said your favourite first.
That helped me to continue watching^^
Left a like👍
It was a great review reflecting the experience of real users.
As a researcher, I appreciate your logical and thorough review.
You are the king.
Wow great review! Was strongly considering a Remarkable 2 for book reading and jazz charts.. will reconsider to the Boox platform, thank you! Shows the power of marketing I guess...
Your wonderful finished video (one more) + enrolment for a new CFA certificate = Boox note air payment just finished !
Thks !
Excellent work. Very well done.
Thank you :)
Hi Voja: Been on the fence for awhile and watch your reviews all the time especially the latest software updates for Super Note. Now that you have the benefit of the newest software updates and what Ratta is planning at least up until December do you have a different opinion b/w note air vs supernote?
Great video, and saved me so much time and effort. Thanks for that!
I'm leaning toward the SuperNote but not being able to transfer without the jaggies makes me a little nervous. I can't decide whether to go for the Note Air or wait a while longer and see if the SuperNote people get this straightened out...
So glad I found this video! Almost spent the money for a remarkable
me too!
So which one did you choose and why not remarkable 2?
I have the reMarkable 2 and I don't want another paper tablet... 🤣
And I have no money to buy them all.. 😁

Amazing video review
excellent exposition!
Thanks for this explications ! Complete and interesting.
Voja, awesome channel and great reviews! Question: The RM2 has had numerous software updates that you've reported on since you did this review in February. If you were to do this comparison today, would the Supernote A5X still be a better choice for note taking than the RM2?
With the subscription model in place now remarkable pushed itself out of the picture.
This is an amazing comparison video, absolutely useful and so interesting.
Would love to buy the Boox Note but read quite a lot of forum posts about battery issues and that the service is limited to replace them. Who would expect expanding batteries in a tablet/reader ?!?!?!!?
I wish there was a cover as gorgeous as the one for the supernote for the note air as well. I am thinking about getting the note air 2 for the functionality, but visually I would prefer one that looks like a notebook. It would be really cool.
Excellent review; thank you! is it possible to use a SuperNote pen with a Boox? I really don't like the idea of constant nib replacement, but prefer the Boox on pretty much every other thing!
That's a really good review - by its lenght it's really good to have the chaptermarks - I see you are as organized in your videos as on these tablets ;)
My main usecase would be PDF magazine reading and I guess the Boox is the best choice.
Why are larger (13") tablets are not a thing yet? Pricetag of the display or just to large to be comfortable to use?
There is see Boox Note Max3
Good and detail review.
Hi Voja, thanks so much for your detailed analysis, so helpful! Simple questions but important ones for me:
1) can you write using stylus on the Note Air directly into Google Keep/Google Docs?
2) for Note Air, can you share screen and do whiteboarding using apps like Zoom?
Hi, did you learn anything? Thanks...
When is ReMarkable going to lift its game with a real and efficient software. This waste of potential baffles me...
Probably not until some more serious competition in the West arises. They spend all their money on marketing and it seems to work
@@89DerChristian - By that time it maybe too late for them. And in truth, I have no issue with that.
I dont wish them ill but no-one has a divine right to be in business & win. You earn it.
The best way to 'earn it' is listening to your customers and doing the right things by them. Ignoring them = Bankruptcy fast.
@@Amazon_Zeus they’ll probably be bought up by their Chinese competitor in a few years ago like Segway.
@@89DerChristian its A norway company dude....wtf are you talking about
@@steliostoulis1875 Right. It lacks competitors in the west.
Thank you for all of your reviews, its really appreciated.
I'm trying to decide between the Quaderno Gen 2 Comparison, Onyx Max Limi and Papyr devices(13.3" screens). I'm a designer (architectural, kitchen and bath) and would be using it to record drawing layouts and measurements while on site along with signing contracts/documents(PDF's) also while on site. I would then need to take those notes and signed PDF's and upload them on my computer. Which would be the best device for this type of use?
LIKE-
Quaderno Gen 2: Newer/faster hardware, the ability to use any pen
Onyx Max Limi : The ability to use layers, back light, more overall options
Papyr: Price, speed/latency
Most important - 1.speed/latency and ease of import and 2.export of notes and signed documents/pdfs
Thanks for your help
Thank you for you thorough review. 🙂I really appreciate it. Being an owner of the Onyx note air, I would like to ask you what pen do you suggest for a better experience, as you mentioned that. I also would like to add that now the onyx note air is shipped with the protective film already on. It might be useful to know for potential buyers. Thank you for your help🙏
Thank you so much for this elaborate review. Could you share which customisations you’ve done for the screen and pen in order to increase the writing function?
I’d really like to know this as well. It seems the Boox is a really great item but the writing experience is incredibly important to me, so I’d like to know which upgrades I need to get in order to have a more paper like writing experience.
Thank you! It is an objective and neutral comparison.
