Professional reviewers commend the Note Air 4C for its vibrant Kaleido 3 color e-ink panel, robust octa-core processor, and full Android 13 ecosystem, noting that it delivers solid performance for document-heavy workflows. However, they point out that the lower color resolution and modest speaker quality prevent it from being a premium multimedia device, and the incremental upgrades over earlier models may not compel existing Boox owners to upgrade.
Everyday users love the tablet's lightweight feel, color display for comics and PDFs, and the precision stylus for note-taking, while repeatedly mentioning the trade-off of reduced color sharpness, average built-in audio, and the need to recharge more often during heavy use.
Professional reviewers praise the B7 Pro for its ultra‑lightweight build, crisp black‑and‑white text and the convenience of a full Android OS on an e‑ink device, noting that it delivers smooth performance for reading and basic productivity. However, they caution that the limited color resolution, small screen size and inherent e‑ink latency make it less suitable for visual‑heavy content, positioning it primarily as a text‑focused, portable e‑reader with phone capabilities.
