Before Amazon launched the Kindle Scribe, people who wanted to use a stylus-equipped e-reader had to shop at lesser-known brands like Onyx. But it looks like Onyx is giving people a reason to skip the Kindle.

Available today, the Onyx BOOX Tab X is a massive, mastered, and downright impressive ePaper tablet. It features an A4 (13.3-inch) size screen with a 207 ppi resolution and measures just 0.27 inches thin. Additionally, it runs Android 11 with an unspecified octa-core Qualcomm SoC, 128GB of storage, and 6GB of RAM.

These specs are very impressive, but the selling point is the Onyx Pen 2 Pro stylus. It allows you to take notes, write in the margins of eBooks, or mark up the recordings you make during meetings. Interestingly, this stylus has an “eraser” and customers can use a Bluetooth keyboard with the BOOX Tab X for more intensive work.

The BOOX Tab X uses “Super Refresh Technology” to prevent the jitter and stutter of other e-readers (although there is still slight ghosting). It also offers four individual update modes optimized for browsing web pages, reading books, taking notes, or using regular Android apps. If you’re trying to avoid eye strain while gaming online, this might be a good option.

BOOX Super Refresh technology backed by the dedicated GPU, which makes the update experience ultra-smooth and responsive. Four new update modes are designed for different tasks, such as reading, taking notes, and using applications on the ePaper screen. Scrolling through web pages is an exceptionally pleasant journey with minimal ghosting.

I should also point out that the BOOX Tab X uses a 6300 mAh battery. That’s a pretty big battery for any tablet, especially for a device with a low-power E Ink display. Unfortunately, Onyx has not shared the details of the battery life of this product.
