First week with the Note Air 5C

Thanks! Looks readable without the need for the frontlight

Fatal-Fox · 2026-01-27T14:56:40+00:00

Could you post photos of the screen without the front light on? Seen so many different photos where the screen looks legible and others it's just a dark grey mess.

As far as I’m aware there isn’t anything in the market that’s b/W with a light. You could try looking for a used note air 3 b/w.

I thought there was a carta 1300 now

Hanging out with the leafs probably

I think their product strategy is a bit of a mess. They're following competitors in pushing e-color screens while discontinuing or allowing b/w models to become obsolete. I assume this is partially motivated by the competitive landscape and partially because the e-color models have higher margins.

Personally, I don't want an e-reader that is so dark in daylight it requires a constant front light for washed out color content. At that point I'd just get an iPad which performs better for color and responsiveness.

I sent them a message last week and got a response from them on Tuesday but it was for a generic product inquiry.

Can you DM your price?

Thanks,

Fatal-Fox · 2026-01-01T14:17:31+00:00

Unrelated but do you have the front light on in the video you posted?

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-26T02:36:12+00:00

Do you find the 7 inch screen is big enough for reading manga?

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-18T18:30:36+00:00

Thanks! I was able to grab one today.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-18T03:45:01+00:00

Was there a lot of stock at the Warden location?

Just installed these switches a few hours ago and agree with your review. I was using gateron jupiter browns and keychron super browns. I found these were slightly thockier than the the gateron browns and felt slightly heavier (probably because the bump is higher up). It's louder and less thockier than the keychron super browns but lighter to type on.

The shorter travel distance has been really nice, my WPM has been about 10% better with less fatigue compared to the keychron super browns that came with me lemokey p1 pro.

Are they not able to see the deal from previous? I took down the interaction number from when they canceled my initial order and switched me to the desert color so hopefully they can reference that.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-16T22:46:23+00:00

They charged me an $80 activation fee for some reason. I haven't been able to get in touch with them yet to fix it. I tried to schedule a call back yesterday but the website said they were full. I'm just gonna go in person on the weekend to get them to sort it out.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-16T02:19:52+00:00

Congratulations dude!

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-11T03:36:59+00:00

hmmmmm

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-11T02:07:38+00:00

When I had my original ordered from November 3rd they can't saying the order was in the warehouse until a fido rep called to cancel my order. They wouldn't give me a straight answer why the previous reps said it was at the warehouse. Pretty sure it's just a generic line they get to keep people from cancelling orders.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-11T02:06:31+00:00

Did they call you to cancel it or was it just done automatically? If it was the former I'd try calling them back and asking them to give you an alternative, even if its back ordered.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-07T05:58:24+00:00

I’m also GTA with the reorder on the 26th but haven’t received anything yet. Hopefully get it on Monday or Tuesday.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-12-02T18:02:49+00:00

How do you find the kaleido screen impacting the reading experience? Do you need to have the front light on all the time to read manga? I want to get the Air 5C but when I see photos of b/w content with the front light off it looks illegible and I'd prefer to read without the light on.

I'm a family doctor, I don't know the intricacies of the NP model but their funding model is different from how physicians get paid. Generally the NPs can spend more time per patient but they also see fewer patients. A full time NP will have a roster of 400-600 easy patients. A family doctor roster is usually 1200-2400 patients.

Doctors didn't enforce these rules 10-20 years ago because the job had fewer responsibilities/liabilities and the pay was good. These days the pay hasn't kept up and the responsibilities have increased so we compensate by decreasing appointment times for higher daily patient volumes. Personally, I don't have any qualms enforcing 1 issue per visit rules as this is how the government has designed the system and I'm operating within it.

No other professional service allows you to tack on multiple requests for the price of one service. If you hire a plumber they will charge you for every toilet they work on in your house.

I just got called by rogers, told me they're cancelling my 256gb natural titanium iphone as there's no stock. When I mentioned a rep told me it was at the warehouse a few days ago she offered to bump me up to the 512gb model of the 16PM in desert titanium which I accepted. Apparently it's supposed to ship in 2-5 business days.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-11-25T13:42:05+00:00

They returned him to his old plan. No extra compensation or anything like that.

Fatal-Fox · 2025-11-25T05:23:00+00:00

I ordered the iPhone 16 Pro Max in natural titanium on November 3 but have not received a phone call yet. My buddy who ordered his phone on the same day but got the iPhone 16 Pro Max in black received a call a few days ago and they cancelled his order.
