The BOOX Note Mini C is a newly announced compact, 8.52-inch color E Ink tablet. It launched alongside the larger Note Air6 C and the phone-sized Palma 3 and Picco. It is designed for professionals and students who need a portable, one-handed digital notebook for working on the go.

The BOOX Note Mini C features an 8.52-inch Kaleido 3 color E Ink display that delivers 4,096 vibrant colors with a crisp 300 ppi resolution for black-and-white text. This compact screen is covered by flat glass and includes a dual-tone front light for comfortable reading in any environment. Designed for effortless one-handed use and on-the-go work, the highly portable device measures just 6mm thick and weighs a mere 300g.

Under the hood, the tablet runs on an octa-core 2.9 GHz processor, paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of built-in storage. For those needing extra space, it includes a microSD slot that supports memory expansion up to 2TB. It runs on Android 16 and includes full Google Play Store integration out of the box, so you can run standard enterprise, messaging, and reading apps seamlessly.

For productivity, the tablet includes the BOOX InkSight magnetic active stylus, which has a functional side button and comes with an eye-catching orange magnetic folio case. A 3,150mAh battery powers the system, supported by smooth BOOX Super Refresh (BSR) technology to eliminate E Ink ghosting during scrolling. Rounding out its premium hardware features are Bluetooth 6.0, dual speakers, and a convenient fingerprint-enabled power button for swift biometrics.

The Note Mini C is a bit on the expensive side, but it might be worth it for people who need a smaller productivity device on the go. This might be worth it for those who think the Remarkable is a bit too limiting. You can order it today for $549 from the BOOX Store.
