Third-party reviews

What customers like about BOOX Note Air6 C

  • The 300 ppi E-Ink screen is sharp for small text.
  • A 10.3-inch screen gives room for full pages.
  • The 4 nm processor and 6 GB of memory keep the system responsive.
  • Split-screen mode puts reading and notes side by side.
  • Direct OS updates keep the system current.
  • Two speakers and GPS are built in.

What customers don't like about BOOX Note Air6 C

  • The 3700 mAh battery needs charging often.
  • Wi-Fi 4 is an older standard, so it is slower on a crowded network.
  • USB 2.0 is slow for moving large files.
  • There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack.
  • There is no LTE or 5G, so it depends on Wi-Fi.

Verdict

A 10.3-inch E-Ink screen sharp at 300 ppi is the main draw of the BOOX Note Air6 C. The 4 nm processor and 6 GB of memory keep the system quick, and split-screen mode lets you read and take notes side by side. The screen refreshes at 60 Hz, so it is made for reading and notes rather than video or games. The weak spot is the 3700 mAh battery, so plan to charge it often. USB-C charging keeps it topped up, and it gets direct OS updates. It has two speakers and GPS, and the 5 MP camera is there for quick snaps. It suits a student or writer who reads and takes notes for hours and does not need video or a phone signal.
