The BOOX Note Air is an e-ink device that is primarily meant to be used to read books and make notes on them, but it states it's a tablet and that you can create works of art on it as well. Not sure if it's iPad level, but Sarah decides to take a look to see what you can do with it. Also, she has two cats and a dog, so pardon the shed city.

The video opens with an eager unboxing vibe as the host introduces the BOOX Note Air, highlighting the anticipation around evaluating an E Ink drawing tablet as a potential affordable alternative to a traditional tablet like the iPad Pro. The presenter comments on the packaging and build quality, noting the matte black finish, embossed feel, and the overall premium packaging experience, which sets the tone for the rest of the review. The unboxing then shifts to a hands-on exploration of the hardware, including the stylus, the protective sleeve, and the device’s form factor. The host observes the device as a 10.3 inch E Ink tablet, remarks on its 4 side button layout and USB-C charging, and notes the display is grayscale, with a resolution of 1872 by 1404 and 227 dpi. The discussion then moves to software features and usability, starting with the setup and stylus calibration, followed by an examination of the Notepad app, font options, and the drawing capabilities, including line widths, brush types, and pressure sensitivity. The reviewer tests the text editing and note taking workflow, explores color and grayscale options, and evaluates the drawing experience for quick sketches and doodles, highlighting both the strengths and limitations of the E Ink canvas. The video continues with a look at the Note Air’s library for books, the ability to read and annotate, and the font customization options, including a surprising number of font choices. The host then experiments with media apps and the speaker quality, noting the surprising audio performance for a tablet with grayscale display, and discusses battery life and portability. In closing, the reviewer concludes that while the Note Air is not a direct iPad replacement or a high end drawing tablet, it offers a compelling set of features for reading, note taking, and light illustration, delivered with entertaining energy and a candid assessment of its trade offs.
