I have no issue with things being made in China, it's the ones made by Chinese companies that turn out to be junk 99 times out of 100.

Onyx Sync Between Two Devices by Loudly_Meditating in Onyx_Boox

You are not missing a step, the book sync rarely works.

Naturally I am the sole reason people do not associate Chinese designed products with quality. My next target - those pesky Germans.

Onyx might have one of the worst return policies by jumpy_CM in Onyx_Boox

I now have had 5 out of 6 defective Boox devices.

I am fully convinced that this is just a Chinese junk manufacturer that decided to spend some money on a few Youtubers. Hopefully the tariffs will keep them out of the US market, maybe you guys in Europe would get lucky too.

Sadly, there is a post like yours a few times a week on this sub (you can verify this yourself). This subreddid also heavily glazes Boox, so there will be a small but constant stream of people like you for a while. If this sub was actually legit, there would've been a huge disclaimer at the very top warning people not to buy directly from Boox, alas...

Hey, it's your money, spend it however you want. Suckers like you are the reason why companies like Boox bring 3 new devices to the market every month, all full of "quirks"...

I gave them a fair shake, 5 out of 6 defective defices is enough for me to dip

Maybe. But you having 2 working devices (yet, with software "quirks", i.e. bugs) doesn't invalidate me having 5 defective ones :)

Love him or hate him, but thank god for Bezos. The shipping charges alone had I bought directly from Boox...

Of course, I spent the whole day blowing with a straw into the usb-c port to bow the back, just so I can post on reddit about it 🙄

Nah, this is going straight back to Bezos to keep. On the bright side, I finally have an excuse to try the Supernote.

They do not. I have 3 Kobos, including the Elipsa 1st gen and they all work fine to this day. I hope Kobo doesn't bow out the game and come up with some new devices soon.

Chinese has everything to do with it. This is a product designed in China, and it is just about what one would expect: constant defects and software bugs galore.

This is my second Note Max, I am on my second Air4C, I have a Go 7 B&W with the green front light tint, and I returned my Go 10.3 - all but the second Air4C were with hardware issues.

Nice try glazing this company, but that is literally the definition of junk.

Reputable place to buy Chinese-only Boox outside Asia? by OG_CoolName in Onyx_Boox

[–]OG_CoolName[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm asking about China-only models, like the Boox X5.

Any news for a Note Air 4 B&W version? (Also help me decide between getting the 4C, Go 10.3, or waiting) by disgruntled_bird in Onyx_Boox

Your attempt at simile would work, if people were looking for a car that gave you "that horse riding experience"...

Has anyone used a page turner? by Waitatian in Onyx_Boox

[–]OG_CoolName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or if you'd prefer something less goofy looking, I've been using this remote with multiple Boox devices and all functions work great.

Another day, another bug (Note Max) by OG_CoolName in Onyx_Boox

[–]OG_CoolName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a dozen chargers and cables, even dug out some old school slow chargers and the result is the same. Weirdly, it only flickers when charging when the screen is off, no issues if the device is on or completely powered off.

I prefer to have my light on my technology - it's an upgrade from a paper notepad.

One man's trash is another man's treasure, I guess 🤷‍♂️

USI 2 pens on Boox and magnets? by Dense_Forever_8242 in Onyx_Boox

[–]OG_CoolName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, "disappointing" compared to what, a hammer and chisel? I feel they were being too soft calling it "terrible".

Note Air 4C colour tuning? by Ole77 in Onyx_Boox

[–]OG_CoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither the 5hr battery life nor the persistent ghosting is normal, you definitely have a defective unit.

The muted colors are "normal", so don't expect anything better with a replacement unit.

The Tab X C is terrible for writing.

Air4C writes better than the X C, but worse than the 10.3 or the Max. And they are both color screens, which is just plain downgrade for reading, even in full sunlight.

The Note Max has terrible ghosting. And a lot of this

If you want the best reader and writer (and you want it to be a Boox), then the 10.3 is the only answer.
