I believe they also fixed the security patches. It says december 2023 for me.

Hard to believe that this is your first KZread post! Amazing review and fully justifies the effort that you have obviously put in to produce this content. I purchased an Ultra C a few days back after going through a ton of reviews and even then some the concerns you raised are new to me. This is what I call an unbiased review. Good going and hope your channel grows with more content like this.

It's refreshing to see reviewers that take time to understand the device through actual use and can explain each feature. While I love LTT reviews, your review is much deeper than what I get in some of yheir videos. Please make more of these videos.

Immediately, I am releasing 2x shorter videos of the Tab Ultra C (1x to highlight its productivity features that I love, 1x to highlight all the things that hinder my productivity) to try to ride this wave of success. I appreciate you sticking around while I figure KZread out.

@@janinawalker4200 - I believe the user was speaking in general terms, not suggesting that LTT specifically had a TUC review (though they did just post one on the Dasung e-ink monitor about a week ago!). However, an LTT offshoot channel called "ShortCircuit" does have some e-ink tablet reviews. In addition to that, I highly recommend checking out "MyDeepGuide" and "KitBetts-Masters". Both provide excellent e-ink insights and have a lot more experience with e-ink devices than myself.

Truly appreciate that, and definitely more to come! I have 2x 40-minute videos close to releasing. One is a follow-up to this video; I have the TUC Pro that was recently released.. it took longer than expected to test the battery as I found something weird that required 5 days extra of testing the battery from 100% to 0% to confirm my issue.

I couldn’t believe that was your first KZread post! You are impressively articulate, yet easy to listen to. The amount of information that you brought across was well organized with understandable rationale for each point. It seems to that the level of information you gave was equivalent to that which a company would get from a consultant, that they paid good money for. Onyx should hire you on retainer as a product consultant! I can’t imagine how much time you must have invested to produce this video with this level of content.

Thank you for this honest and concise review, that is really one of the best here (though I'm a big fan of Voja's My Deep Guide channel). Exactly those issues that you have mentioned, battery life, the grey screen and poor security together with the high price have stopped me from getting the Tab C Ultra. I've had a Note Air 1 for studying for the past three years and I'm really still very happy with it, using it as a note-taking and pdf reading device solely.Yes, colour would be great but I work around it with different 'textures' of highlighting annotating and emphasizing. Last week I was able to see a few Chinese versions of Boox devices next to each other, even the Palma, and a Tab C without the camera, but I didn't see a major advantage to my Note Air to justify an upgrade. I would love an e-ink phone or at least a handheld but as long as there are these security issues with these niche products, I can only dream about it;-)

I truly appreciate that - being mentioned with one of the top e-ink review channels feels amazing. I watched a handful of his reviews on various devices before making my purchase decision and very much enjoyed them. I don't envision ALINE tech being 100% e-ink, though there's an obviously interested audience, but I will keep exploring the space, testing everything new that I can get my hands on, and helping folks find the best fit for their day-to-day lives; I am still hunting for that "perfect" e-ink device for myself. It never hurts to wait for the next-gen to upgrade, especially on early adopter (first edition) products such as this. I believe you have made a wise decision as that upgrade path doesn't seem 'worth' it enough unless you absolutely NEED color. I agree on the security flaws and do hope that Onyx takes the time to better refine their software and UI/UX experience before pushing a new wave of devices. I, too, would enjoy an e-ink phone; I was recently browsing around at all the different options that currently exist. Slim pickings!! Thank you for taking the time to watch + comment!

This is an amazing video; incredible to think it’s your first! It’s thorough and really useful and interesting. And I really enjoy your pace and style. But I think what I liked most was your understanding of different audiences - you explained why you hoped the device would help you for those of us who wanted to know, but made it easy to find just the product review too. Hope there will be lots more videos.

Thank you so much for this in-depth analysis. I was days away from pulling the trigger on a Tab Ultra C as an e-ink replacement for my iPad for calendar, note taking, annotating pdfs, and reading. However, your notes about the instability and pen input lag in third party applications was a deal breaker for me. I had really hoped we had something there, but this sounds like it’s just not ready yet. Massive security issues are also very concerning.

@aline.tech.reviews

10 ай бұрын

Thank you for taking the time to watch! Yea, I don't feel it can effectively "replace" an iPad for a majority of uses (though it's awesome for those cases you mentioned - note taking, annotating PDFs, and reading!!). The Tab Ultra C rather provides a supplemental way to continue working with your apps while you let your eyes rest from backlit screens.. AKA as substitute when your eyes are getting tired or you need to preserve your eye stamina for future work. There isn't a magic way that I've found to handwrite on a calendar and have it sync/share to other apps - the only viable way is to use OneNote with a calendar template OR a PDF calendar template that you annotate on and sync between your devices. Both of these options are clunky. It is, IMO, an "early adopter" product in that it feels not yet refined. Great concept, good build execution, and I think Onyx will end up making great strides if they focus more time into their software experience and testing. However, there's currently lots of UI/UX and software issues that need to be resolved to get it to a place where it can be seamlessly integrated without frustration. Compared to something like an iPad or Samsung Tab, the integration here feels "young" and "inexperienced".

Wow this is so well done and this is your first long form youtube video. You going far with this. Your video quality and depth provide such valuable information and analysis of the product. Really enjoy the editing. Well done.

All of the forum posts I've seen have been in regard to the color version. The screen issues I pointed out also don't exist there - as the darkness/subpixel graininess are caused by the color layer. It definitely gets frustrating. They kind of fade into the background once you get into a flow state/get used to using it for multiple hour sessions, but then you come back and just notice them all - I've even gotten angry at the thing which is not a good sign, haha.

Sure thing; thank you for taking the time to watch! I am way behind video schedule, but I have an updated review of the Tab Ultra C Pro releasing in ~1 week from today. It's very similar but has a lot of notable improvements.

Amazing review! You shed a light on this device from many perspectives and you did it thoroughly. Congratulations on such a great first video! Concerning the device: It looks promising. First impression of build quality is fine, though the rest leaves something to be desired. Especially looking at the premium price tag. Some of the hardware related things like the connectors or the issues with the screen might become unnerving to some in the long run while others can live with it. Some software related issues could be resolved through updates. However, I doubt it will all happen, speaking from experience with other companies. The adaptions to make better use of the color e-ink are nice and for me, the screen + pen input are the biggest selling points. But in the end, it all looks a bit unpolished and needs further development to make it really shine. Like you put it: It has its advantages and if you are in the market for such a device, it really depends on your use case. However for me, I will stay away from it. Too many compromises to be made. Still, I hope that devices like this pave the ground so other manufacturers also join in and develop new productivity focused devices. Once again, thanks for the review and saving me from buying a device I would not have been satisfied with 😅

I haven't tried them out yet but am debating giving it a shot to update the community. I too, hope that these companies are inspired, by comments like yours, to push e-ink and other technologies forward. It seems obvious there is a new wave of interest surging for e-ink and productivity tech.. so fingers crossed!

It has been great for me so far. I have used to for 1 hour by taking random notes and solving integrals for fun (cause MY LIFE SUCKS). It is very great at that, and I found a way to get my notes online. The space that I'm gonna save in my place is gonna be significant.

This is great!! Such a good thoughtful video, calming, informative and well paced. I really really liked your points about the security of the device - makes it unusable for corporate/ confidential work. Well done.

Really appreciate that! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave such a thoughtful comment. I have the Mobiscribe WAVE and Kindle Scribe reviews in the works!

Good job on your first Vid. Best of luck in future. I bought the Tab Ultra C but now returning it. So glitchy and frustrating to use. Too many frustrations to mention. Buying a Remarkable 2, I am mostly note taking and planning, that should do the job. Also half the price if I get alternative pen and cover on Amazon.

Thank you!! I really appreciate that. Sorry to hear that the Tab Ultra C didn't work out for you, but agreed that sounds like the best decision on your part. I made a video about its flaws here as well. I've heard remarkable (lol) things about the Remarkable 2! I haven't tried it yet, but it's on the list. I'm currently testing other e-ink tablets like the Amazon Scribe and MobiScribe WAVE to see if they can function as cheaper alternatives to the TUC. Definitely let me know how you get along with the Remarkable 2 and whether your experience was any better!

Very good review with never heard before criticism. Very nice.

This is what I call the next game level of tech reviews. It was clear, clean cut and to the point for the matter on hand. Your amazing review helped me pass on purchasing Tab Ultra C. I decided a used Boox Note 2 Plus (B&W edition) was the sensible choice for me all around. Hopefully, I'll be happy with it.

Wow man! First video, and made so very professionally. Thank you very much for the information (although wished you worked more on the second screen and streaming tab to screen portions to show more capabilities of the device - nitpicky I know). Nonetheless, great job and wish you well. Keep up the good work.

@@aline.tech.reviews thank you for your reply and sorry for my late one. Just saw it. Yes, I researched the Boox tabs a lot lately prior to purchasing one. I went from note air 2 plus to tab mini C to tab ultra C in a couple of weeks. I kept the third one. It’s a brilliant product. Just don’t put anything with a magnet in it on top of the tablet while it is in standby mode. It will drain the entire battery in a matter of few hours! No one seems to be talking about this.

Excellent overall review highlighting both the strong points and compromises. I pre-ordered the device and so was one of the first to get it. For me it has been great. Not flawless, but the best, most flexible and powerful overall eInk device available. I don't use the frontlight much and instead rely mostly on external lighting, just as I would with pencil and paper. For anyone with eye sensitivity issues, I completely recommend it. For others, it's likely best to stick with LCD. Another option is the SunVision Display RLCD: a 32-inch reflective LCD monitor with the full color and the fast refresh rate of a standard LCD, though with some spec compromises. It has no frontlight, so external lighting is a must which can be challenging but possible. It has become my main monitor. It has a hefty price tag, but it is entirely worth it if you have eye sensitivity issues with standard LCDs.

@aline.tech.reviews

Truly appreciate that! And love to hear that you are getting along with the TUC. I am also using mine nearly daily.. it has even become my primary script-writing device for these KZread videos. I used it to write this script of this video and really fell in love with the process and the amount of eye relief it provided. I've had my eye on both the e-ink and reflective LCD monitor displays. You mentioned the lighting can be challenging for your RLCD; how much light is required for a good experience? Are you able to use it in a room with natural light during the day and your regular home lighting and night, or did you have to go out of your way to set up lightning specifically to use it? Agreed the price tag is insane on both.. I'm currently holding out through the e-ink tablets and by pacing myself with breaks to give my eyes a rest.. waiting for v2.0 of those technologies. Based on the current reviews I've seen, I'd really need to try one out for a month before dropping that much $ on one to not enjoy it.

Wow, what a great, first, in-depth video lol! Who is this guy lol? This first vid is better than others who have been doing this for a while. You came out swinging sir!

This was brilliant. I was considering the device and wanted some sensible information that did not feel like an ad or clickbait, and this was perfect. Is this seriously your first video up here, or do you have a previous channel? If it really is the first, I am blown away. It seems the tech is not quite ready, but boy I hope it succeeds, so that more can be invested and we get to see more change in e-ink tech. Just imagine if they ever get e-ink to reasonable refresh rates, so that it can open the world of office work and gaming to e-ink devices. From hiding in the shadows of our nerdcaves, to being able to work and play videogames outdoors. Complete world-changer. Think of the fortune handheld consoles would make in that world.

I truly appreciate that!! That is quite literally my main objective with this channel, so it's reassuring to know it's received well. It's my first channel! I did spend 2-3 years learning about filming/audio/etc. (aka, procrastinating) and trying to convince myself to take the leap. =) And agreed there - it definitely doesn't feel quite "there", but I'm running into that problem with a lot of tech these days. I've since tested a handful of other e-ink devices, and can confidently say the Tab Ultra C seems to be one of the top contenders at the moment (if not the top) even with all its flaws. It doesn't feel like there's an offering above it, so to me it is the current ceiling. And LOL. Your vision of the potential future sounds lovely (except the going outside part!!). I'm wondering if e-ink will die out completely in lieu of another reflective technology. I can't imagine us refining what e-ink is to the degree it needs to be. It feels like there is a hard limit of what can be achieved based on the current pacing of the tech. I hope I'm wrong about that!

Thanks for the thorough review!

I really appreciate that, thank you! The Mini C could be a game changer for many! It's effectively the same device just shrunk down to be more compact/comfortable for holding; I presume the performance will be similar outside smaller changes like a different pen/larger bezels/etc. I am hoping for a larger screen version, like the Tab Ultra C X - as I don't have a large use case for a smaller, more portable version than the 10.3". I am debating on whether it's worth the purchase just to review it to keep this audience informed, and maybe give it away!

Thank you! Onyx has released a beta firmware that fixes the first stroke drawing issue, and they have claimed to be pushing forward on security updates. I won't consider either until they are in production and on my device. It does support screen-casting, but not through a USB/HDMI/etc. cable (I'm waiting on some additional attachments to doubly confirm that, but my first tests showed it does not work).. you can only do it via Wifi. There's a built-in screen casting method with Windows devices, or you can use a third-party app. If there's an app you have in mind, let me know and I will test it for you!

I would suggest that this is more of a workhorse solution and probably overkill for your use cases/scenario. If your main use case is reading/writing, I would check out the 7.8 versions like the Tab Mini C, or the Bigme Goyue v6. They have all the same features and functionalities outside the keyboard case at like half the price. The smaller versions are not only cheaper, but also easier to hold for reading. The larger 10.3 are not fun for holding and reading for long periods.

🙋‍♂I have seen many reviews regarding the Boox Ultra Tab C and have to say this is one of the best reviews I have come across thus far, concise and to the point. I am looking to buy the Boox Air 3C and after watching this, I have second thoughts since they are both similar and I assume they will both have the same security issues. Keep up the great work and will be looking forward to any updates you may provide. Kudos from NYC🗽.

@aline.tech.reviews

I truly appreciate that, and thank you for taking the time to watch. =) Boox devices effectively all run the same underlying OS/software, so yea most things are transient from one device to the next (while UI layouts/options/functions can be slightly different between them). The 3C is updated to Android 12, at least, which means we are available for security patches for ~1 year. I have the new TUC Pro now and most of these issues still exist - there are many ways to protect yourself by using a separate Google account, using a Guest Wifi network, or locking down the device with software. I cannot recommend putting sensitive data on these devices from your job or personal life.

Hell of a first video!
