How is this an improvement over just using your iPad pencil and any of the current apps which are much less expensive than purchasing this tablet

@Ruby I can appreciate the lack of distrations, but unless I throw my phone out a window they still exist :) A matte screen cover and notability or good notes does will accomplish the same goals. $450-500 for a limited use tablet seems steep.

@Ruby It does seem amazing. I’m not sure that I can justify another piece of electronics especially at that price point. I am hoping when he does the full review Francesco can include his thoughts on the cost value.

@Ruby I am not faulting their pricing. I am just wondering if the added value to someone with a tablet is worth the cost. I am a small business as well.

Bottomline Up Front: A second hand Surface Pro is the same price as this, can do everything this does(better), and can do everything a tablet or a laptop can do....WHY would ANY every spend $450 on this when there are alot better options available. Im a person with ADHD; work in a very high OPTEMPO environment with alot of deadlines, meetings, personnel and equipment to manage, and more tasks than time. Several years ago, I went looking for a way to keep all of the meeting notes, spreadsheets, documents, personnel information, contact rosters, and never ending power point slide decks somewhat organized and easier accessible. I looked at the Remarkable, Android tablets, Windows tablets, and even contemplated an IOS device, but I needed something that I could do hand writing, MS Office docs, and easily send and receive anything from another device; immediately killing any IOS device. Some where in my search, I discovered the MS Surface devices....bought one for less than what any Remarkable costs. Allows me to have a very portable work laptop, and entertainment device. While also tackling hand written notes better than this device.

My wife loves it, the greatest gift I have ever given her. Yes, even better than giving her myself if you ask her

Just got mines today ! So excited

what's your exeperience after one year of using it, if you still have it?

I've dropped a lot of my apps. I continue to use Evernote to archive notes. Otherwise, I returned to either paper notebooks or my own ReMarkable 2. The ReMarkable is especially handy for the multiple notes I take in different meetings. I don't have to carry multiple notebooks.

Why? OneNote will do everything this does and allows for other Office related files to be imported into it. OneNotes OCR even allows for and support searching of Hand written notes. If this device was $200 cheaper, than maybe this would be a good alternative to an actual tablet. But it isn't and tablets with just as good of pens and note apps exist. Only a fool would part with $450 for this device.

I paid my data bill today just to watch this.

Aha, best comment aha!

If you need to track tasks for yourself and all the people you have meetings with over the week, and those accumulate into many tasks for many stakeholders across multiple meetings and projects keeping track becomes very time-consuming and creates a high cognitive load. I am doing it on my device right now trying to use tags and find the right notepad format to use. I haven't found a good one yet. For smaller projects it is fine, with increased complexity and scale it becomes something different I can not identify yet.

I just ordered mine!!!

Thanks for notifying me of this. I feel the Remarkable2 is priced too high especially with all the additions (pen and folder) the kobo comes with all of this. I didn't even know it existed. It's priced under the cost of an ipad too, which makes sense. Looking reviews up now. I bought a kobo e-reader 5 years ago and it's been brilliant, so exciting to learn what they can do on the e-tablet.

@@oworthington me too. A few more reviews is honestly all that's holding me back from getting one

remarkable or other note apps/devices should have apps/links to smart phones like the galaxy note, its super handy to easily make notes on the fly.

As a person with ADHD, I find using digital tools distracting, when a message pops up to remind you to do something in 15 min (or similar). So, I am trying to get rid of all reminders on the app I am using. I prefer paper for my time blocking, distraction notes, and accountability blocks (this is where I write what I was doing in 15 min blocks for 4 to six hours a day). If I push my executive function ability longer than that then the next day I will be wasted.

Thanks for the review, although I don't think this product would work for my needs.

A simple Rocketbook gives me more flexibility for a lot less money. I'll fill the Rocketbook over the the course of a week or two then upload the pages to Evernote during a weekly review. I spend almost no time in Evernote unless I need to review it again later and that rarely happens.

Same here. I looked at the ReMarkable after a workmate had one in a meeting. Just couldn't justify the price. Ended up going for a Rocketbook which is a pretty decent compromise for the cost. I used to upload loads of pages to Google Drive, but barely referenced them so now just fill the Rocketbook up then wipe clean every couple of weeks

Very good pronunciation

I've been interested in the ReMarkable from the very start, it's just that the asking price is more than twice of what it's worth.. You can easily get a basic Chromebook or Windows convertible that has way more functionality for 400 bucks..

As a chef, would you like a swiss army knife or just one cooking knife? Would you pay hundreds of dollars for just one knife? Yes, if that is the tool that makes your life easier... Of course an iPad or portable is good multifunctional tools, but if you want to WRITE why bother with everything else? Why not only the simple task at hand? There is great value in no distraction nowadays....

Some people actually work better with physically separate devices.

Very interesting review, I am finding myself somewhere in the middle of both camps. I love the grab and go aspect of paper or a device like this I also love the scope for pictures, notations mind maps etc. But to lose the date contexts and the ability to catalog and search my notes is a big drawback. There is onenote on android, but the writing experience is nothing like the remarkable or paper. If someone designed something like the remarkable2 with OCR and that worked natively with a ToDo list and calendar, with smart templates that let you pull in data with context, they would have one heck of an application and a customer for life in me

Look into a Surface Pro or Surface Go, both can be had for about the same price, depending on spec, or can be hand for less through FB Marketplace or Ebay. And would give you alot more bang for the buck. This device is the epitome of a fool and their money.

@@SgtSeth I have a surface go first gen and I have been incredibly underwhelmed. The writing experience is unnatural and it doesn't have the always on and ready to go factor that an Android device has. Not that I have been pleased with my Tab S6 either. Nothing feels like a proper work flow and the writing experience is infinitely worse than paper.

@@Christooable nothing is ever going to be like paper and I dont have an issue with waiting a few seconds to get my SP open. It takes no longer than getting a pad open, find an empty page and to start writing. If anything, it maybe faster as I typically always have OneNote open while at work. Or, I know when a meeting is, so I prepare for the meeting by having a new page open and prepared. But, I guess thats another difference in generations. Preparation and patience.

Curious to know how do you handle projects on something that has no connection across documents. Basically your task list and weekly planner are 2 lists that are totally independent; you cannot make a task on one list and tie it to a date for example; which is why digital organizer/todo application exist in the end. If the purpose of the list is remind yourself what you need to do; and you just need to look at the weekly view to remember and get things done, then you are set; but if you rely on some sort of organizer to get your tasks to completion, and each task is not a done/not done type of task, then you will probably encounter issues with this device

$450?! More expensive than an entry-level iPad and pencil or a stack of nice paper notebooks. The market for this seems very small.

I have an iPad Pro, writing this on it now. My reMarkable 2 is what I use for notes, more and more. I have lots of devices, phones, computers, tablets etc etc. The reMarkable is like a good $400 chefs knife instead of a $40 swiss army knife. If I am going to chop things all day long every day of the year, I demand a quality knife, nothing more. The reMarkable is a one task thingy, and it performs it pretty good. Every task planning app has failed for me, every one, but bullet journaling has not. Keep it manual and simple.

@@alessm2206 Completely understand the price tag issue. Thats why I went the 2nd hand route first, to make sure it was what I wanted. As for Lenovo Yoga 6 or other 2-in-1s, unless the keyboard is detachable it just wasnt what I was looking for. I like the laptop/tablet capability and how light and compact the SP is.

400 too much.

Was about to purchase the Remarkable/2 (despite the fact that there are no local distributors). Then I checked the vendor Warranty. Unfortunately, it's "limited" and only for *one year!* Almost all the viable alternatives offer 2-3 year options. And in some instances, this includes accidental damage etc. Excessively short Guarantees like this are troubling. In my experience, this indicates that the manufacturer has no confidence in the reliability of their product. Yes, it seems like an innovative & useful device, especially for some specific use-cases. But it's expensive - and I've no interest in purchasing a new one each & every year! Pass.
