Likebook Mars got it today from Amazon. I expected to be rather slow or throttled after seeing those performance charts discussed on this thread. But surprisingly its a decent device for the price. So far very impressed plays youtube videos (good enough for me) and mostly everything. The audio plays too via the headphone jack. Managed to install many 3rd party apps.
I dont have Onyx Boox Nova but I have to say I was impressed with the speed, I have an Onyx Boox Max 2 Pro (4Gb RAM). I would say that the browsing experience was comparable. Very happy with both devices. I am intending to use my Likebook Mars during the night with its backlight and my Onyx Boox Max 2 as my primary device. I will test if I can type on Likebook Mars with my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. Overall, a lovely device, nice and crisp screen for the price.
The only disadvantage I have seen so far is the battery it drained really rapidly with the wifi turned on. But thats not a big issue for me as I can easily plug it in and charge it. But maybe this side needs to considered.
