There are also other shortcuts, intuitive configurable gestures, and overlays sprinkled throughout the UI. Most of the toolbars can be shrunken or even fully collapsed to a small handle at the edge of the screen. You can really tell that the UI/UX developers put a lot of thought into ensuring that users could quickly access various features and functions without having to give up a ton of screen real estate for those controls.
The power-efficient e-ink display means the battery lasts f o r e v e r. I've been using this thing every day, and basically only charging it once a week. And I could probably stretch that even further if I needed to. I also really appreciate that there isn't a battery in the stylus that I need to worry about, and that also means the stylus feels much more like a nice pen rather than a heavy electronic doodad.
And I'm very impressed with the overall hardware design, too. I think the tablet is a perfect size: large enough to offer sufficient writing/drawing surface, while being small enough to remain highly portable. It's thin but feels sturdy and substantial, and I love that it has a bit of a wider bezel on the left-hand size which makes it easy to hold without touching the screen. The included folio case uses ~magic~ magnets to attach to the rear of the tablet, and it wraps around to cover the front and offer plenty of protection for the screen. The included stylus uses more magic to snap securely to the right-hand edge of the device, and the folio also provides a flap to hold the stylus securely in place while on the go. There's even a slim fingerprint reader hidden on the tablet's power button to make it easy to unlock the device (and encourage using a secure lock screen for a form factor which might otherwise be left unlocked). Nice touch! I think my only hardware complaint is that the single USB-C charging port is on the tablet's left edge, and thus can't be used to charge the tablet while the folio case is closed around it.
I could keep going on for a while about all of the other little things I like about this tablet, but I'll just wrap up here by saying the BOOX Air3 C has absolutely lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I'm already seeing how much more effective I am when taking notes by hand rather than tap-tap-tapping at a keyboard.
