I stopped watching RUclips on my TV when they removed the speed control from the Android TV app. But it looks just as great on my 27” 4K monitor. I like this format!
I love mine but I wish it had a micro sd card slot and 8gb of ram
Your channel has been an incredible resource and helped me decide on a BOOX Tab Mini C. I think I remember you demonstrating how to add a hyperlink to handwritten notes by underlining. If that was you, could you please let me know where to find it? Thanks!
I do have this and I do like it a lot. It's my go to for when I head out of the house, and it handles the knitting app I like to use very nicely, so it tends to get thrown into my knitting bag. I'm using the Note Air 3 C for work, and pretty much the mini for play.
Sounds like a great combo!
Thank you soooo much for this video and all your other content! I’m a graduate student who has noticed significant eye strain from using my laptop and iPad for school, and I’m looking for an e-ink device that I can read and write on throughout the day. I’m definitely leaning towards a Boox device thanks to your videos.
I have the Nova 3 and love it. No desire to sacrifice the contrast to get color.
Thank you very much for your videos! They are excellent and help a lot in making a decision.
Do you think it's a good time to buy the Tab Mini C now or is it better to wait for a new version to come out because it has been on the market for a few months? Thank you for your opinion.
What's the battery life like between mini C Vs the nova air c? Better or worse considering considerably larger battery size balanced with the more power hungry screen clean up tech in the mini C. I may consider if the next iteration has finger print unlocking.
Hello, I've not tried the nova air C I'm afraid, but I would expect it to have a longer lasting battery as it's a non BSR device. And we think it's the GPU in the BSR devices which is sapping all the power!
I use to use the Kindle Paper-white probably a decade ago. I liked it but I didn't love it. I liked it's dedicated purpose but I wanted a bit more.
I now have an itch for an ereader again and I really love the color aspect. I'm leaning towards the Boox Mini C cuz of it's portability and note taking ability. Also I love the android platform. Huge plus for me.
But I really came here to say, I live on RUclips when I'm researching and one thing that struck me on your videos was the lack of an intro. I LOVE THIS. You just get right into the content. I don't need a 30 second fancy media intro or a 5 min introduction to the content. I can't tell you how many videos I've clicked off because I lost patience waiting for them to finally get to the reason I clicked on the video.
Love the quality and content of your videos.
Thanks Kitt, ill check it out qhen i can get a time slot on the 40"! I have a Air 3C awaiting an unboxing on the 25th but am hoovering up Boox content in anticipation!
Wow, I don't know how you can resist! I guess delayed gratification is a worthwhile thing!
I need one with web browser to read online comics and the ability to play white noise background while reading. Can you run two apps simultaneously with this?
Does it have a good hand recognition software? To transform handwriting in to text?
I have one. Great device. Smartwriting is top of the tops. I use it to prepare aviation navigation with proper templates : a lot to write, and a lot to read. Put it on my knee while flying. Now, for more common and less specialized use, I dream to have this in B&W and in the format of Poke 5. With a little pen.
So do you use it to write during flights? Sorry but I am not an expert
@@r21747Yes. Sometimes you have to log flight parameters on a log sheet or what flight control tells you. Or sometimes you have to make some calculations. With your head, I mean. Aviation is not letting computers do everything for you.
Yeah size is definitely the selling point for me. I'm not looking for a full tablet/surface device. What I imagine and am shopping for is a palm device easily held in one hand if needed, used for more local activities like reading or lists and note taking, maybe casual browsing. Not my phone that im using for EVERY other thing, not my computer or windows tablet. It needs to be focused on tasks to facilitate work. Deus Ex, star trek, many sci fi worlds include these smaller hand held tablets that are left around and can be forgotten in your office or living room meant for reading and working
Can this tablet be a main work tablet for taking notes at the office?
Does Boox Tab Mini C have "speech to text" feature?
Hey Kit!
Any news on the Onyx Boox Note Air 3 C plus/pro variant?
I'm not sure, I think that there may be a larger battery maybe a b/w with BSR in about 6 months, but I have no more knowledge other than speculation!
My only issue with the Tab Mini C is that there isn't proper settings for reading comics in their reader app. Every time I try to fit the comic to the actual screen size a dotted line appears either towards the top or towards the bottom of the pages and I have to tap twice just to read the full page before going to the next page. Their Fit To Screen setting makes borders that go around the whole page. Makes no sense. Is there another comic reader app that is compatible with the Tab Mini C that I could try?
Tachiyomi is quite nice. My go to
Thanks yeah, I've only really tried comics in Kindle app, and that seems to work just fine. But I am not much of a comic reader I am afraid.
:-)
Do you have a link to the premium pen for the Tab Mini C? The one with an eraser?

Great video! Finally picked one up. I'm a proximity marketing manager for Renewal by Andersen, so I'm walking around all day training guys on effectively talking and pitching to strangers. I think this will really enhance my notes in the field and help me be a more effectual trainer. The size is going to be absolutely perfect for me. It'll be here in about a week and I'm very excited for it! I was curious though, in the time since you've made this video, have they created a dedicated drawing app or optimized drawing in the notes app?
Hiya, great stuff. No unfortunately, I've been going on like a broken record about that and they still not brought one out. Fingers crossed for one soon.
Thank you very much for your review.I've noticed that the boox tab mini C has the RUclips app and that's disturbs me a lot due to it's potential Impact on my already hard to heal cyber addiction.So my question is it possible to remove it?
Yeah absolutely you can install or remove any app you like. It didn't come with RUclips on I just installed it to show how video can sort of work, and I sometimes use it to answer comments!
For the moment its a little expensive but in a future i would love to buy an e reader. Im a biochem student and we read a lot of papers and books in pdf so is a must a "big screen" and some color (for some books) :^)
Excellent vid! I had air 3c but sold it, it was just too heavy and I barely used it. Mini c looks interesting but it's looking like boox page is better purpose fit as a reader.
Interesting also that you have the Samsung Fold, do you have a review of that as well?
I've never directly reviewed it, but I should perhaps bring it intonthe fold. I've talked about my experience with it a few times though. (Short answer is I like it, but I've had to replace the screen twice! It's a fold three and I've had it more than two years now.)
It's ridiculous that the note app doesn't allow rgb/hls colour creation. That lack cripples the app.
As with Samsung notes, it's frustrating that note creation only works on the proprietary hardware.
I just got it but I can’t seem to use google play store for some reason
Hmm, that's odd. You got logged in ok?
@@KitBetts-Masters hi I’ve sorted it now thanks
9 inch diagonal would be a good screen size
Waiting for a waterproof version. At the price they're asking, this should be a given.
Until then, kindle wins.
Got one as prefer making notes holding it but it still got the old problem of that size einks. Under direct sunlight the display start getting darker and darker in ghost fog pattern like and need to be refreshed every half minute.
I've had my eyes on this for a long time. I have a 7" Onyx Boox Nova Color - I love this already as the perfect holiday device (read books from all shops, play simple games, listen to music or audio books...), but the colors are still VERY weak on the Nova, and the performance is also sometimes a bit lacking. This seems like the perfect next step I have been waiting for.
You made me just order this😂
Awesome, I am sure that you will not regret it. Can you pop back after you've tried it and let me know your experience of it please!? :-)
How do you feel with mini c after time?
@@KitBetts-Masters Sorry I missed to reply. Yes I like it and mostly use it to jot down notes on the go at work.
Anyone who owns one has dead pixel issue? Saw a comment on reddit that this might be a common issue on kaleido 3
Very good review. But I’m still undecided between the ultra or the mini. I believe mini is more suited for me as there is a higher chance for me to carry it around than a bigger one.
Yeah, I would go for that then. I also suggest you consider what else you have in your tech combo, e.g. if you already have an iPad mini, maybe go the larger Boox, or vice versa.
You can change Obsidian to a light theme. Many your videos should Obsidian in dark mode. The experience is very different.
Oh thanks yeah, I couldn't find that option, but that would make it way more usable on e-ink!
@@KitBetts-Masters it is in Obsidian settings > Appearance > Base color scheme. You can change the Themes below that to download from plenty of custom themes from community
Background music sounds like it's clipping. Pull down the volume.
Too expensive for my needs but interesting nonetheless. You certainly gave it a comprehensive review. By the way might you consider experimenting with dropping the music background, which I find distracting. But that may just be me. Thanks for all the good work.
Agreed on all points
your voice vibrating
I, have boox tab mini c it's small and I love it but there's tab ultra c with keyboard better than tab mini c and I use this device to taking‐note and book's and some documentation‐software's Use it as an electronic notebook and I can take this device everywhere with me and say godbay to paper RIP to paper 😄 😄😄 and I forget to tell you this device can play MP3 Files and support even epub book's and I upload only one file ebup documentation for software size this documentation 300 MB Not like kindel you must upload each ebup file limited size 20MB but there's one problem in this device if you have air buds like galaxy buds or Apple buds this device connot prinig with galaxy buds and Apple buds
if you want small device choose tab mini c but when you typing text from virtual keyboard it's very 🐌 slowly to Input text in screen which mean delay to show the text in screen or print text in screen and delay only afew seconds
and if you want better device and large and heavy with keyboard cover case choose tab ultra c
DON'T BUY FROM BOOX
After 2 months of having my Mini Tab C the screen breaks. After talking to customer service they claimed there was some external force that caused it and it wouldn't be covered under warranty. This was in their case in a bookbag with other sensitive electronic none of which had an issue like this. They said I can pay another $270 to fix it. I think I'll just take the loss of $400 before it ends up being a loss of $670.
me listening to the video lol
sorry for not watching xD
No worries, yeah, I do that all of the time now. RUclips is my podcast player basically as well as my video player.
This is a big thick pricey ugly 7.8" device, with no better substition in the market.
Got Tablet C, but because of not proper user guide, end up not using the Boox. approach, reaching Boox but very unsatisfactory response
