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.
