BOOXTablet Go 10.3 ePaper E Ink Tablet No Front Light 4G 64G 300 PPI B/W

Arrived on time on a nice sealed box. Very professionally boxed. Startup was as expected. The learning curve on the Boox is quite steep if one wants to be a competent user but it is fun to learn.The Boox go 10.3 is ideal as a notebook and to read in bright ambient light but not good at all for movies. There is no backlight so it is not for use in the dark. But neither is a pad of paper!

This is a beautiful device. Taking it out of the box felt amazing - it is very thin, very light, handles very well and I expected to really enjoy using it. However my first problem showed up trying to set the device up.The tablet is highly configurable, but I did not expect that to be an issue because, although retired, I have always been a techie and worked for years designing, writing and updating software. What kind of issues could I have setting up a tablet? Well, first of all the default keyboard turns out to be a combined Chinese and English version which unfortunately does not have all of the characters I expected and so I could not sign into my own router, and I ended up spending quite some time figuring out how to change the keyboard and ended up having to pair with an external bluetooth keyboard. And a lot of the setup operations were like that, more difficult than they should have been. Not impossible, but I expect to have a simple setup and then spend the time to figure out where and how to configure the device.But the main issue for me was that there is no front light and so the device absolutely needs a brightly lit environment. A well lit office would be fine, but a dimly lit home is not. The screen is not white, but a light grey and the text did not stand out well enough for me to see, even when I turned on some lamps. Added to that I like to read laying down in a dim room and in that kind of environment it is not easy to even see the text, let alone enjoy reading.The tablet OS is Android and I had no issues loading Android software, but the tablet was less responsive than I expected because the e-ink display is slower than normal tablet, so although the apps worked they felt slow and cumbersome and in the end I decided that I had to return it. I did not want to, but the display failed me in the one function I bought the device for. All of the YouTube reviews that I previewed before buying said that the lack of a front light was not an issue, but it was for me.If you buy this to work in a highly lit environment you will probably love it, but it just did not work for me and I will return it.

One of the very best ones.Buy buy buy

I rate the Boox Go 10.3 4.5 stars. However, I have to rate it lower as the unit I received was sealed and packaged like new, but what was inside was clearly a used unit that had finger prints and marks on the screen and the back had dirt spots and what appeared to be makeup. It also smelled of perfume from the previous owner. There have been reports of units being returned and sent out as new. The unit I received was clearly repackaged and sealed to appear new. I have owned and tested the ViWoods AiPaper, Boox Note Air 4C and the Boox Go 10.3 is a great value with lots of bells and whistles. I paid for a new unit and expect to receive a new unit. If anyone is looking for a good note / ereader, this unit is a very good option with crisp display, good battery life, many features to satisfy most needs.

Although it still functions as it should, the stylus looks like it has been used and abused. Otherwise, so far so good. A bit more of a learning curve than expected.

Muy mal , el producto llegó con rayones y golpes. Es un engaño, pagué por un producto nuevo y llegó usado.

Love it! It replace my notebook and I’m using it daily. As it’s Android base , it has flexibility on browsing website and reading comics.

Perfect for notes and reading. The screen is super crisp and the device is really thin, tho if you're buying this, be aware there isn't any front light. I use a neck reading light to read in the dark, but overall, this is an excellent product!!
