The Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2 might be one of the most flexible 10.3-inch e-ink tablets yet. In this review I look at the new front light, the capacitive stylus, handwriting and drawing performance, speed improvements over the original Go 10.3, and how it compares with devices like the Supernote Manta.
*Boox Go 10.3* (Gen 2) :
US and HK: shop.boox.com/products/go103gen2?ref=0t1qqbSDWLMb
UK and EU: euroshop.boox.com/products/go103gen2?ref=my_f5MKKrpQRge
At Amazon: amzn.to/4cHoDgu
I came away very impressed by Boox as a whole. It may well be the most complete e-ink ecosystem right now. But for pure pen precision, natural handwriting and detailed drawing, I still think EMR has the edge.
So is the Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2 the best all-round e-ink tablet, or a very clever compromise? That’s what this review is about.
