Just ordered Max2, taking everything into consideration I believe it is a good fit for my needs.
I am a little disappointed that Note won't have hdmi and I don't expect anything better to show in the next 12 months or so. Booxtor mentioned that next-gen Max will start mass production around summer if everything goes well, but I don't expect big improvements. Probably bigger storage, maybe frontlight or bezeless screen, but the main hardware platform will most likely stay the same. Same as with Max and Max Carta.
I hope that Onyx will finally provide reliable software support and valuable updates. I am happy that they release so much great hardware lately but without proper software support it is wortless. Max2 issues thread is growing quite aggressively...
I am aware that Max2 is far from perfect but it is the best out there now. RP1 is severely limited with pdf handling only, Dasung's provides only monitor function, Remarkable is just good for notes.. And Max2 is comparable(if not better) with either of them in terms of pdf handling, monitor sharing, notes..
There is nothing on the horizon that can compete with Max2 on this niche market.
