The Boox Tab XC and Remarkable Paper Pro are two very different devices and you can’t really differentiate them based on specs. You’d have to test both of them in a store or at least look at Youtube videos of them side by side. They use different screen technology (XC uses Kaleido 3 while RMPP has an Eink Gallery 3 screen), have different operating systems and software that are tailored for different needs. The RMPP is great but the software is limiting so if you want a more open ecosystem where you can do more than just write and draw then the Boox Tab XC is your best bet. It is also a lot bigger so it’s great if you are going to read a lot of PDFs.
