HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
Onyx BOOX has launched the Note Max, its latest and largest E Ink tablet yet, featuring a 13.3-inch display.
Designed for writing and reading, this device targets users who value a paper-like experience paired with advanced digital features. Priced at $650 (~PHP 37,800), it’s now available for purchase via Amazon 10 and the BOOX Shop. 40
The Note Max boasts a 13.3-inch E Ink Carta 1300 screen with a 300 PPI resolution. Its surface mimics the texture of paper, providing natural friction for writing with a pressure-sensitive pen. The device measures just 4.6mm thick, making it slim for its size.
Under the hood, the Note Max is powered by a 2.8 GHz octa-core processor, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It runs on Android 13, enabling users to install third-party apps—a feature that sets it apart from competitors like the reMarkable 2 and Amazon Kindle Scribe.
The Super Refresh technology allows users to optimize display performance for either higher image quality or smoother motion graphics.
The Note Max supports input from a pressure-sensitive pen and a magnetic keyboard, great tool for note-taking, sketching, and document editing. Other key features include:
A “tablet-like” user interface for ease of use.
Compatibility with third-party apps via Android.
A large, high-resolution screen ideal for multitasking and document viewing.
While priced higher than smaller E Ink devices like the reMarkable 2 ($379) and Kobo Elipsa 2E ($400), the Note Max’s larger screen and Android-based OS provide a broader range of capabilities.
It is also more affordable than Onyx’s Tab X ($800), which features a similar screen size but older hardware and display technology.
