The best note-taking tablets of 2024: Tested and reviewed

The Boox Note Air 3 C is a color e-ink tablet that is built for note-taking. The screen has a color 1240 x 930 (150 PPI) resolution and a 2480 x 1860 (300 PPI — the same as the Kindle Scribe) resolution in black and white. Plus, it’s super lightweight at just under a pound. 

I went hands-on with the Boox Note Air 3 C, and it got me out of my productivity slump I had been having. I found my creativity creeping back by using the included stylus, which has virtually no lag, has 4,096 pressure levels, and feels as smooth as your favorite ballpoint pen on a smooth pad of paper.

Review: The best E Ink tablet I’ve tested is not by ReMarkable or Kindle

This tablet has all the best features of the top note-taking apps built right in: there are dozens of templates to use, audio recording, color-coding, inserting links and attachments to notes, and more. Plus, built-in artificial intelligence allows for text recognition, shape perfection, and a strike-through erase feature that makes erasing much easier.

Plus, it has several features that make it a productivity machine. For example, there is a split-screen feature that allows you to switch between two different apps. And, verified customers like the BOOXdrop feature, which allows you to easily send files to the tablet from your computer or smartphone to the tablet. It takes mere seconds, and you can annotate PDFs and other Word documents with ease.
