Apple doesn't have a formal product event coming up, but it has new devices to announce next week. Apple Senior Vice President Greg Joswiak teased on X that "an exciting week" of Mac announcements is coming starting Monday, October 28. We can most likely expect the launch of Apple M4 Macs. The first M4 chip-powered device to come out this year was the iPad Pro launched in May. But we should now see it reach different Apple Mac devices like the MacBook Pro, iMac, and perhaps even the Mac Mini. We don't have to wait too long to learn what this "exciting week" entails.

Onyx teases large Boox Note Max e-ink tablet

Onyx is introducing one of its largest writing e-ink tablets, the Boox Note Max. It's a 13.3-inch tablet, making it nearly the size of an A4 sheet of paper. At US$650, it's one of the more, if not the most, expensive tablets of its kind. However, its edge over its competitors like the reMarkable 2 and Amazon Kindle Scribe is that it is easier to install third-party apps because it doesn't run a custom-built operating system with limited capabilities. The Boox Note Max has an Android 13-based OS paired with an unspecified 2.8GHz octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage.
