TheOnyx Boox Tab Xcontinues the line of ePaper tablet PC releases, focusing on size and power.

With this in mind, the accessory case provides a holder that keeps the Pen2 Pro snuggly secured.

You may also run into games not working or apps that run into unexpected errors.

While the Tab X does have access to the Play Store, it’s not officially supported.

However, you’ll usually want to keep a full-screen refresh option at the ready.

When gaming or streaming, the Tab X only features one USB-C port.

If you want to use any wired headphones, the USB-C port can be used with an adapter.

Otherwise, you’ll be relying on Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity.

So depending on how you want to utilize the 6300mAh battery, there’s plenty of room to explore.

Typically, during casual reading, HD mode provides a better display effect.

Comparatively, Balanced introduces more potential ghosting but works fine when thumbing through documents.

Regal mode reduces ghosting; you may experience some flickering on dark backgrounds compared to light-colored ones.

Regardless of the refresh mode picked, you’ll find they work best when tailored around your customizations.

But you’re free to minimize those visual disturbances with a little experimenting.

With the Tab X, Onyx has instead focused on a traditional three-fold case for protection.
