The Boox Note Max: The Largest Monochrome Canvas for Expansive Thinking

Whether you're drafting a manuscript, reviewing full-page contracts, or comparing documents side by side, the Onyx Boox Note Max 128GB gives you an A4-sized digital notebook built for serious, sustained writing. Built for anyone searching for a "13 inch A4 ePaper notebook", a "large monochrome tablet without a front light", or an "Android writing tablet for professionals", it pairs a 13.3-inch, 300 ppi E Ink Carta 1300 display with the fastest CPU clock in this Boox batch and 128GB of onboard storage. For writers and academics wanting a "large-format tablet for document review", the included BOOX Pen Plus and 615g build keep long-form work comfortable.

Comfortable to Read Wherever You Are

Q: Can I read comfortably outdoors in direct sunlight?
A: Yes. With no front light layer at all, the Note Max's 13.3-inch E Ink Carta 1300 display reflects ambient sunlight exactly like real paper, giving you maximum clarity and zero glare outdoors. There's nothing to wash out or compete with the sun, even on the largest monochrome screen in the Boox lineup. Indoors or in the evening, simply use a lamp as you would with a physical notebook.

Fast Enough For Real Work, Not Just Reading

Q: Is it fast enough for smooth page turns and note-taking?
A: Yes. The Note Max runs a 2.8GHz octa-core processor with 6GB of RAM, the fastest CPU clock in this Boox batch, keeping page turns and handwriting responsive even with 128GB of documents loaded. The included BOOX Pen Plus delivers natural, low-latency handwriting straight out of the box, while Smart Scribe AI note editing and split-screen review support serious document work. It's built for sustained professional and academic writing, not just casual reading.

One Login For Every Bookstore

Q: Does it support both Kindle and Kobo apps?
A: The Note Max runs full Android 13 with the Google Play Store built in, so you can install reading apps such as Kindle, Kobo, Libby and NLB, and keep reading books you've already bought on those platforms. App support depends on each app's developer, so chat with us if you want us to check a specific app before you buy. You're never locked into a single bookstore ecosystem.

Key Facts

The Boox Note Max offers the largest monochrome canvas in the entire Boox lineup at 13.3", an A4-sized screen built for expansive reading and writing. It runs the fastest CPU clock in this batch at 2.8GHz, paired with 6GB of RAM, for consistently responsive handling of large documents. The BOOX Pen Plus stylus is included standard, not sold separately, so 4,096-level pressure-sensitive note-taking is ready from the moment you unbox it. With no front light, it delivers maximum sunlit clarity at the cost of low-light usability. Smart Scribe AI note editing and split-screen review round out a genuinely powerful document-review workstation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is GeekBite an official Onyx Boox distributor in Singapore?
A: Yes, GeekBite is an official BOOX distributor in Singapore, sourcing every unit directly through official channels rather than grey-market resellers or overseas marketplaces. Each Note Max you receive is brand-new and factory-sealed, backed by our physical Singapore office and dedicated local after-sales support team. Buying from GeekBite means you skip the risk of counterfeit units, invalid warranties, or unresponsive overseas sellers entirely.

Q: What warranty comes with this device from GeekBite?
A: Every Onyx Boox Note Max sold by GeekBite comes with a comprehensive 12-month local Singapore warranty. If anything goes wrong with your device, you're covered by our dedicated Singapore after-sales support team rather than having to ship your device overseas or deal with a foreign call centre. This local coverage means faster repairs, faster replacements, and genuine peace of mind for your purchase.

Q: Can I return this if I change my mind?
A: Yes. GeekBite offers a 15-day return window for any completely sealed, unused, and unopened device set, so you can shop with complete confidence. If your Note Max arrives and simply isn't the right fit, reach out within 15 days of delivery and our team will guide you through the return process. You pay the return shipping, and we inspect returns in 3 to 5 working days. Just make sure the original packaging and seal remain untouched.

Q: How long does the battery last?
A: The Note Max is powered by a 3,700mAh Li-ion Polymer battery, sized to comfortably support extended writing and document-review sessions on its large 13.3" screen between charges. Because E Ink only draws power when the page actually changes, battery life stretches far longer than a typical laptop or tablet screen despite the powerful chip. Charging is handled through the included USB-C cable for fast, convenient top-ups.

Q: Does it support a stylus, and is one included?
A: Yes, the Note Max comes with the BOOX Pen Plus included standard in the box, supporting 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity for natural, precise handwriting. There's no need to buy a stylus separately to start writing or marking up documents. This makes it genuinely ready for long-form note-taking the moment you unbox it.

Q: How much internal storage does it have?
A: This model comes with 128GB of fixed internal storage, more than the Note Air6 C's base configuration, though there's no microSD expansion slot on this model. That's still ample room for extensive document libraries, scanned books, and years of handwritten notebooks. Combined with 6GB of RAM and the fastest chip in this Boox batch, large files stay responsive to work with.

Q: Does this device have a front light?
A: No, the Note Max is deliberately built without a front light to deliver maximum clarity and the most authentic, paper-like writing surface, especially in bright or sunlit conditions. This also keeps the device focused purely on document work rather than casual low-light reading. If low-light front-light reading matters more to you, ask our team about the Note Air6 C or Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi instead.

Q: Is this good for students taking notes?
A: Yes, particularly for university-level or professional-grade work. The Note Max includes the BOOX Pen Plus stylus standard and the largest screen in the Boox range at 13.3", giving genuine room for essays, dense diagrams, and full-page document annotation. Smart Scribe AI note editing also helps organize and refine handwritten notes. For a smaller, more portable note-taking option, GeekBite recommends the Go 10.3 (Gen II) or Note Air6 C instead.

Q: Can I read and annotate PDFs on this device?
A: Yes. The Note Max's large 13.3-inch, 300 ppi Carta 1300 display gives PDFs and documents the most working room in the Boox lineup, and the included BOOX Pen Plus lets you highlight, handwrite, and mark up pages directly. Dense, multi-column layouts and full-page diagrams are easier to work with here than on any smaller Boox screen. Split-screen review also lets you compare two documents side by side while annotating.

Q: Does it work overseas, or is it Wi-Fi only?
A: The Note Max connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only, it does not have a cellular SIM slot, so it relies on a Wi-Fi network or personal hotspot to sync files and download documents overseas. This suits writers and professionals who pre-load their documents before travelling and work offline. If cellular data on the go is essential, ask our team about the Boox Palma 2 Pro instead.

    Great for PDFs, but Expensive with Notable Drawbacks

    I purchased the Boox Max tablet primarily for reading PDFs, and the large 13″ display is excellent for that purpose. The size makes full-page documents easy to view without constant zooming or scrolling.That said, the tablet is quite large and can feel unwieldy at times. I also notice significant ghosting on the screen, so I often need to manually refresh pages to clear residual images. Another drawback is the lack of a backlight, which limits usability in low-light conditions.Overall, while the screen size is ideal for PDFs, I’m not sure I would pay the high price again given these limitations.

    šŸ“„ Thanks Devin for the 4-star review and the honest feedback! Glad the 13 inch screen works well for your PDFs. If you need help with ghosting or refresh settings, just chat to us. Follow us on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram (geekbitesg) for daily tech news. Cheers! :)

    If you're on the fence, get it.

    Pros:-Display: super high-contrast and much crisper than its competitors. I also love that it doesn't have a backlight. Since switching to this for my course reading (was using computer and iPad before), I have had a significant reduction in eye strain and migraines.-Writing experience: unmatched. I was using an iPad with Paperlike cover and fine-tip, friction-increasing apple pencil nibs, and the BOOX is far superior for control and enjoyability. I had also tried a Remarkable tablet prior to this and returned it because I hated the writing experience.-Writing features: super customizable toolbars in their native Notes app, several writing utensil options with very customizable stroke size, etc.-PDF reading--super easy to download them and simple yet effective tools for marking them up. You can read them at 100% size, or close to, because of the size of the screen.-Apps! Because this runs Android, I have my Canvas app for accessing all of my course materials for grad school, as well as Kindle, GoodNotes, Libby, OneDrive, and Outlook for a low-strain way to read my emails.-Battery life: I use this for both school and my social work internship and I only need to charge it every few days.-Weight: light enough that i can comfortably maneuver it on my lap or propped on my chest for reading on the couch or lying down.-Security: you can password protect your notes on multiple levels: the whole app, individual folders, individual notebooks, or all three. You can also opt out of backing up to the cloud, and can download PDF versions as backup directly from the device onto your computer or a hard drive. I work in research with human subjects so this is super important!Cons:-Ghosting: it happens. You can add a "full refresh" button to your toolbar to make it easy to get rid of ghosting when it's bugging you.-Glitching: I had one terrifying day where it seemed like none of my notes saved. I was able to fix it by doing a couple of restarts and logging out and back in from the online BooxDrop portal.-Highlighting: if you like using the highlight feature to mark up documents, all of the 'color' options, including the grayscale ones, are so dark that they impede reading the text you've highlighted. They need to offer adjustable tint/opacity.-Fragile: I haven't had any issues, but given the size of the screen and how thin the tablet is, I feel like its pretty susceptible to damage. You'll definitely need a case. That said, I'm a perpetual klutz and haul this thing around everywhere with me and with the case it's held up great.-Included pencil: they really should've included a more premium option, with an eraser on the back and the ability to toggle between writing modes. Given how thin the pencil tips are, stroke erasing is super inefficient and also will cause a lot of extra wear on your nibs.-Pencil grip: nonexistent, and the ridges are a little uncomfortable when you're doing a lot of writing. I fixed this by using Paperlike brand grips intended for apple pencils--it helped a lot, and they're magnet-friendly.-Nib Lifespan: the tips for the pencil wear down quickly. I guess this is the tradeoff for having them be the perfect texture. You can buy replacements and I'd suggest ordering them along with the device so you've got them ready.

    šŸ“ Thanks for the thorough review, Ava! Glad the Note Max's display and writing experience work so well for your coursework. If you need help with ghosting, highlight settings or replacement pen nibs, just chat to us. Follow us on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram (geekbitesg) for daily tech news. Cheers! :)

    An incredible device – if you know what you are buying

    I have owned several eink devices at various sizes (Supernote, Kindle Scribe, various Boox devices) and I am blown away by the quality of the 300 ppi screen at 13.3", which was not available.Yes, there is ghosting, but it is nothing that a simple swipe won't solve, and it is near certain that Boox will continue to improve the ghosting. So we are clear, ghosting is an issue with all eink by default.While previous iterations of the 13.3 inch device had a backlight, it's a good thing in my book that this one does not because adding a back light decreases the fidelity of your handwriting. It's a tradeoff worth making. This is the opinion of the most thorough and popular reviewer on YouTube (My Deep Guide) and I concur. There is a reason he gushes over this device. If you want fantastic notetaking and crisp text, as well as the best PDF software I have ever seen, this is your device.

    HUGE Beautifully Intriguing E-Ink Powerhouse w/ no backlight

    I'm not sure why this product is getting review bombed. I'm enjoying mine. Voya just did a 1.5 hour in-depth review on YouTube and seemed to agree. I purchased the Remarkable Paper Pro, which was very nice, but was too bare boned for my needs. I liked the color screen and backlight, but now I have full access to the google play store, kindle books, OneNote, Bluetooth, split screen, TV streaming, and the list goes on. People are complaining about ghosting, but I don't find it that bad. New updates seem to be minimizing the issue. If you can't live without a backlight, just get a sleek inexpensive portable light. The writing feel is very good. Almost as good as the RMPP. There is a learning curve here, but I find it intriguing. Oh, the hardware is s3xy. P.S. Can't wait for my keyboard cover to get here :)
