Boox has refreshed its Note line of E Ink tablets with a new model. The Boox Note Air5 C looks like its predecessor, the Note Air4 C, but now has support for a keyboard cover for more productive work.
Besides the Palma 2 Pro, Boox unveiled the Note Air5 C, which comes as the new model in its Note range, and the successor to the Note Air4 C that came out a year ago.
The Boox Note Air5 C has only a minor improvement over the Note Air4 C that was launched in the previous year. Quite on the contrary, very little has changed. Boox has not even made the effort of updating the design or even releasing the new model in another color to distinguish it with the last generation.
Nonetheless, there is a significant feature added the Note Air5 C has pogo pins on its rear side, which can be attached to a keyboard accessory. The Boox Note Air5 C can be converted into a notebook by purchasing this magnetic keyboard cover that cost $109.99 and now enables the users to type in emails, articles and other tasks. This is also a keyboard case that simply has a USB-C port that enables passthrough charging on the Note Air5 C.

The Boox Note Air5 C is an octa-core processor with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable memory. The bad thing is that it does not have a back-facing camera to scan documents.

The stylus that is supported is the Boox Pen3 and its pressure sensitivity is 4096 levels, tilt sensitivity and ultra-low latency. It also possesses a storage compartment of additional nibs.
Boox Note Air5 C includes a fingerprint scanner, 3,700mAh battery, and comes with Android 15. It possesses a USB-C port (again, on the left side, as per the previous generation). It is also equipped with microphones and speakers. The Boox Note Air5 C priced at $529.99/529.99 is now available by order.
Boox ships it with a stylus with five extra nibs and a protective magnetic case that can be used in portrait or landscape orientations. If you choose the keyboard cover bundle, you get a discount of ~$33/€33 and pay $606.99/€606.99 instead of $639.98/€639.98.
