Note Air is only 5.8mm thick, but it doesn’t mean it’s fragile. We use advanced Nano Molding Technology (NMT) and CNC to delicately build out its quality case and vertically align the different screen layers and covers to create a solid structure.

As user Tamas Kovacs says: “The Air is a high quality product, extremely well built, nice packing with a good software.” And you can only tell its built quality when you touch the slim and sturdy device.

Note Air differentiates itself from most of the same-sized devices and even real paper with its capability and E Ink Carta HD screen.

With the E Ink screen of 227 dpi and front light, users can read sharp texts while protecting their eyes from being hurt by LCD’s backlight. The eye-friendly display makes Note Air a preference over some robust tablets, such as iPad and Samsung Tab S6.

BOOX Pen is a magnetic stylus made for Note Air. It features a different round-shaped shaft and a stiff, small nib to give users better control over the line width.

Some users like Marion Buehring find the pen feels great, while some users may prefer a stylus with a bigger tip. To meet different demands, we offer an optional Note Air bundle containing the classic triangular stylus with a top eraser.

Nevertheless, BOOX Pen is an excellent stylus if you love stiff nibs and the precise strokes it can create.
