There is no SD card, but there is 64GB of storage, which is some of the largest we have ever seen. The speaker positioning is on the back, rather than on the very bottom. The bezels are not very larger, compared to the MAX 2 or MAX Pro 2. There is a home button/fingerprint reader right below the screen on the bottom. The industrial design of the Lumi is black with some gradients along the sides. Bluetooth also allows you to use wireless accessories, such as mice, keyboards, foot pedals or virtually any other type of product. Onyx has always incorporated a solid audio experience in their flagship products. Alternatively, since it has Bluetooth 5, you can simply plug in a pair of wireless headphones or earbuds and the sound quality improves. There are stereo speakers and the audio clarity is superb, the highs and mids are great, but there is room for improvement with bass. ![]() If you want to take a break from reading ebooks, editing PDF files or freehand drawing, you can listen to an audiobook, music or podcasts.

I honestly think this lighting system destroys all of the 10.3 inch e-notes/e-readers too. Even when you tilt the screen on an angle, the light is great and the screen is readable.
