Boox simply introduced a refresh of its fashionable Notice Air E Ink pill. The Boox Notice Air 6C options loads of upgrades, a lot of them associated to hurry. It is a superb factor as E Ink units excel at lots, however being quick just isn’t usually one among them.
The corporate says the Notice Air 6C contains an upgraded processor that may attain speeds as much as 2.9GHz. It is a 45 % enhance when in comparison with the Notice Air 5C. Boox says this interprets right into a 40 % enchancment in PDF page-turning pace.
It has additionally up to date the refresh mode, which the corporate says is quicker than ever earlier than and “designed to make scrolling, net shopping and apps with dynamic content material really feel considerably extra fluid on an E Ink show.” As for apps, the Notice Air 6C runs Android 16 — the 5C is caught on Android 15 — and has full entry to the Google Play Retailer.
The ten.3-inch show delivers black-and-white content material at 300PPI and shade content material at 150PPI. There is a four-microphone array for voice recordings and the ability button has a fingerprint sensor for safe logins.
It comes with 6GB of RAM, which is identical because the earlier technology (and the one earlier than that). Extra RAM is all the time good, however I am simply pleased they did not decrease it to 4GB to accommodate the continuing RAMpocalypse.
It ships with the Pen3 stylus, which does not require charging or pairing. As with the Air 5C, there’s an adjustable entrance gentle, twin audio system and 64GB of built-in storage. That does not sound like lots, however books and paperwork take up little or no area. Additionally, there is a microSD slot for extra storage.
The Boox Notice Air 6C seems to be a sturdy, if iterative, improve. It is out there right this moment for $580 in a bundle that features a folio case and a few spare ideas for the stylus. That is a $50 worth hike from the Air 5C, which presently retails at $530. A separate bundle for the brand new pill provides a keyboard cowl and is priced at $690, discounted to $657 for the launch interval. The Air4 C made our record of the most effective E Ink tablets, and a number of other staffers use the Air5C, so we’re excited to place this one by way of its paces.
