The Boox Note Air 5C is praised for its excellent handwriting experience, fast performance, and versatile Android-based functionality, making it a powerful e-ink tablet for note-taking, reading, and productivity. However, users consistently criticize the poor pen attachment design, which often causes the stylus to fall off or get lost, and some note that the battery life is only moderate under heavy use. The screen quality is generally good, though a few mention ghosting and a dimmer color display compared to expectations.
