I've wanted one of those ever since seeing a professor use it... but their price point is intimidating. I'm also not a fan of being limited to certain cloud services (I use neither Google Drive nor Dropbox).

Still, it's a pretty nifty device, and the pen capabilities seem the best of all of them.

Good news!

Boox will run any cloud sync that has a recent Android app available. It's just an Android tablet, at heart, and it's already unlocked.

In particular, the local NAS sync client for Synology runs like a dream.

Edit: Oops. I missed that we switched from Boox to reMarkable, there.

I guess I'll leave this since Boox sells eInk tablets that are feature matched to reMarkable, anyway.

I have been looking at Boox, yes. Though their price range is seemingly not much better than reMarkable... I'm still waiting for a decent used market to develop around some of these newer models. I'm okay with being patient on e-ink tech.

There are other integrations, those were the two I used so I could remember them.

Certainly wasn't cheap, but I do need to take quite a few notes during meetings with my engineering team, clients, shareholders etc., and being able to sketch something out real quick and project it over onto the screen in our meeting room with two clicks is pretty awesome.

My company even offered to pay for it, but I wanted it to be mine.

Didn't know that was a feature, that's pretty cool.
