Hello,

I have seen that Onyx have released Onyx Boox Max 2 Pro (4 GB RAM) in black. I have the Max 2 Pro with 4 GB RAM in white.

I need a second screen (one running via monitor mode and the other running natively or connected to another laptop). I am curious if I would be able to run 2 of the Max 2 Pros via monitor mode (laptop with 2 hdmi ports). I tried Nova as a companion screen, it overheats and freezes a lot. So I am thinking about returning it and getting another Max 2 Pro (white, 4 GB RAM) after selling my old laptops.

However, I was wondering if Onyx will release a new upgraded version of Onyx Boox Max 2 Pro in 2020. Any predictions on the RAM size, Android version...? The worst scenario would be if the upgraded version has no change in the RAM size and the addition of a frontlight. I absolutely don't want front light, so I was thinking about getting a second Max 2 Pro. Not sure if I should hold on to my funds until 2020 or get another Max 2 Pro (without frontlight, 4 GB RAM). I did ask Onyx but they are not saying anything, nor were they ruling out that the next version would have front light.

Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions!!
