The Boox Note Air 3 has better hardware like bigger RAM, CPU and battery but it also uses Android which uses more resources while the Remarkable 2 is a simple device that you can use mainly to reading and note-taking and sketching. Hence it doesn’t use that much energy and power to function smoothly.
