A couple of large-screen ebook readers and digital notepads have turned up on sale today.
The 13.3-inch Onyx Boox Max2 is marked down to $649. That’s $100 off the regular price.
The Max is Onyx’s largest model. Unlike Onyx’s other ereaders, the Max has an HDMI port so you can use the device as an E Ink computer monitor.
See my Onyx Max2 review for a closer look at the device in action. Onyx has updated the software a few times since then so you might want to check the Note Pro review too for a look at the newer features and updated user interface.
The 10.3-inch Likebook Mimas is marked down to $459. It normally sells for $479 so it’s not a big difference but every little bit helps.
The Mimas was just released a couple months ago. Even when it’s not on sale it’s the least expensive 10.3-inch model with a frontlight. It has page buttons and a memory card slot. The software is a bit buggy but it’s a lot more advanced than some of the other 10.3-inch models out there.
See the Likebook Mimas review for more details.
Both devices have Wacom touchscreens for note-taking and drawing and both have Android 6.0 operating systems with the option to install Google Play. Onyx’s software is better and more advanced, but the Likebooks are a lot cheaper and the software has potential if they can get things straightened out.
If you’re gonna spend this kind of money, is the Max 2 Pro not a better purchase?
It just has more storage space and RAM so there’s no difference functionally.
Mimas would have been lessened its price if Xiaomi’s Moaan had been launched past June 28th.
Unfortunately, it’s been delayed…
Isn’t there currently an offer than gives the Max 2 for $600 until the 16th?
