    "Who should buy" 100%. Nailed it. You are exactly who they designed this for. Comparing it to paper is the *only* comparison that makes sense. It was the design center, according to their pre-success papers. Then again, you are a designer, so you know all about that

    One thing about R2 is that it literally is a digital pen and paper…no distractions with TH-cam , Facebook, X, emails etc etc. It is a tool that assists focus. …not take it way with trivia that we are all addicted too.

    I bought the reMarkable 2 and the Supernote AX5 because I couldn’t decide which I would like better. So, after a year of using both I have to say that I love the reMarkable 2. It’s simple, uncomplicated, easy to navigate with a writing surface that feels just like paper. The Supernote, not so much. While it has a lot features, so does my iPad. I wanted something to just replace all my sticky notes and one place to keep my daily journal, plus my sketches. The reMarkable is a winner at sketching. I don’t care about color as my iPad has that in spades, so if that’s the only reason for an upgrade count me out. I do use the Supernote in my music room and have dedicated it to keeping notes and information strictly involving music. That’s my take on it. I’m sure a lot of people would love the Supernote and would find the reMarkable 2 to be restrictive, but that’s what I love about.

    The thing I love about the Remarkable is that it really feels like an extension of my laptop rather than being a separate device. The chrome extension and desktop app sync almost instantly. I've had so many devices that's sync function was unreliable. The Remarkable is so reliable that it's quicker and better than printing a document. I've now side loaded my ebooks to it and I am using it as my primary reading device. I love that I can actually annotate the books rather than just writing on little post it notes. (I also own the Scribe). I know others rave about the Boox devices but I've owned many Android tablets and the number of apps that let you use a stylus and are designed for a large screen are minimal. The only major complaint I have against the remarkable is that you can't search for handwriting. We're paying for a cloud subscription, and this should be included in the price.

    I recently got an RM2, after having the RM1 since they released in 2017. I'm still not convinced that I needed the upgrade: even the RM1 holds up quite well, although the support for a pen with an eraser is pretty neat. All round it's a great device, and I love it for taking notes, reading books, and in particular articles/papers where I want to annotate / highlight stuff.
    Also, worthy of note: it gets a lot of approving 'oohs' and 'aahs' in meeting rooms and at conferences. People tell me that I look more engaged and present than people taking notes on a laptop, who are "hidden" behind the folded up screen and could be anywhere between fully present and just zoned out and into whatever they're doing on their laptop instead. I wouldn't buy it just because it makes you look professional, but it certainly does help. Screen-sharing to a Teams meeting to show notes and draft things is also very nice.

    Brandon, great video. Totally agree..I spent a year with the A5X and even purchased the A6X2. I love the Supernote and still do. But it was missing two things for me. Better synchronization and no color pens or highlights. I still have them but will probably sell the A6X2. I then tried the Boox Air 3c and found it was taking a lot of steps to do a few simple things I needed to do while writing, plus I could never get the Kindle App on mine to work. Yes it has the color pens and highlights but there were just too many distractions for me to concentrate on writing. I have a phone and android tablet for all that. I sent the Boox back. Then I heard the remarkable had color pens and highlights and I remember watching a bunch of your discussions on the remarkable. I just ordered it and received it a couple of weeks ago and I have found my sweet spot of a tablet. You are correct when you discuss use case. That's what everyone has to decide. Sorry for the long post, but bottom line my use case is that I teach, and for me to teach it helps me to write in different colors and highlights, plus it helps to move my writing around because while writing thoughts don't always come in the perfect sequence. So when I have everything the way I like it, I preview it on my computer, (which is almost instantaneous and in color) and if everything is the way I like it, I then print it out in color and teach from paper. After I teach, I throw the paper away but I always have a copy on my remarkable. The only thing that might make me change would be if they come out with the bigger color version of remarkable, then I wouldn't need to print to paper. Thanks for all you do on this channel.

    I absolutely love my RM2. It’s exactly what you say. A great replacement for my paper journals. I use it everyday at work. I love the tactile feeling of writing and it sits next to my keyboard while I work. I grab it for all my meetings and just share my notes when done. I wavered about the price, but after buying it I would get another if I accidentally broke it. The google drive integration ticked the final box for me and ease of importing docs to sign and email.

    I have been using the Remarkable 2 for years. I do not recommend it for 2024; it is outdated for current needs. Yes, it is a note-taking device, but it is necessary to add color to the notes, and RM2 does not allow this. The RM2 software is easy to use, yes, but it is so simple that many necessary options are missing, and the software does not implement them.
    Also, it must be mentioned that to have certain document storage functionalities on the company's servers, a monthly subscription is necessary. How? Yes, if you do not pay every month, all your documents that you have not used in the last 50 days will be deleted from the cloud.
    The best thing about the RM2 is the writing feel, which is very good, but the very basic software, the lack of color, and the need to subscribe for certain functionalities, make it an outdated device.

      Yes, and actually the thing that keeps me from buying any of them is that I don't think the technology is there yet in general. Now for people who write all the time and journal and basically organize their whole life writing I can see this being a game changer and worth it now or later. For someone like me who wants to use it for some very specific note taking and that's it, as well as being super picky with responsiveness, resolution, and seamless features, I think I'll keep waiting. I want to not be able to notice I'm using e-ink instead of a sheet of paper, as well as full synchronization with google docs (without downloading), a screen the size of an A4 sheet of paper, and snappy streamlined responsiveness to taking notes, organizing them, and finding them. I have a strong feeling I will be disappointed still in various ways. Maybe the remarkable 3 will do it, maybe not. We'll see.

    I keep watching reviews but I keep going back to the remarkable 2. Even though It doesn't have a backlight, I want to buy a device for the sole purpose of replacing my notebooks for school/work, to have it next to me for note taking while reading physical books, and to make to do notes for myself. It is also important for me to keep the paper grippy feel, as I hate the feeling of writing on glass and would just go back to paper, also it need to be thin and light enough to fit on my computer bag or briefcase without adding much bulk to it with a long battery because I forget to charge my phone, much less an e-ink! I think it will be hard for me to find anything else other than the remarkable, I just wish they came out with the remarkable 3 already.

    I've been using a remarkable 2 for a year and a half for university, and it's almost perfect. I bought the keyboard case 3 months ago and it's even better than before.
    However, I find they're too slow to update the tablet, the last few updates were pretty useless to be honest (today's beta update which makes files prettier for example is the last thing I wanted to have as an update....).
    I've been asking the development team for months to add circles, which are absolutely essential for students like me.
    I've been asking for months to be able to change PDF note page templates which would take maximum 10 minutes to code for them, move pages in imported PDFs, copy and paste images (I know it can be difficult to code, but it can be done).
    Also, adding a green pen isn't unfeasible, and would be really cool.

From my understanding (and by watching your own other videos) "Note Air 3C" is targeting the different use case, rather than "Note Air 3 (B&W)", as well as "Remarkable 2", hence, it does not logical to me to use it (3C) for this comparison.

    what would be the best device to review and markup pdf / word A4 legal documents? Contracts, essentially. Has to sync with some cloud. that would be to avoid printing.
    Kudos if i can use it to read ebooks too. I have a kindle paperwhite w 300p resolution and i ve used lower resolution ones, i think the difference is stark, so i really question the remarkable and its low resolution.
    I'd need crisp text where i can see 1 A4 page in one go.

  • @GorkaJon

    Thank you for your video. It helped me to narrow my expectations. Mostly because I only use my eink tablet for writing and creativity. But it's true that I miss a lot the colour option. Before my eink device, I wrote and used notebooks regularly, and I always carry a pack of colour pens (I still do carry them with me and a notebook).
    But using a e-ink tablet is so cool and nice feeling, knowing that everything is in there and reachable...
    So, if you are a creative that is extremely happy with the remarkable like experience... But you need colour to develop your work... Where should I be looking for? I really don't need all that connectivity and computer/phone apps... But I need at least some size for my notes to write and design on. Is the Tab Ultra C the only option? Would the Nova AirC be ok today? Could I use the Kobo Libra Colour?
    Thank you in advance for your time and help! Have a very nice week!

It has to be able to send/recieve files to/from other android tablets and my windows pc and have bluetooth. A color display would be a nice extra for marking stuff in the notes but not necessary. Also a backmight would be good because we also play at night sometimes wich might be problematic without one. It needs to be about A4 sized altho a little bit smaller isnt bad. Just not _too_ small to read A4 sheets. Wich one do you think would be good?

    Thank you! This hit right on a hesitation for me. I want to replace physical notebooks, esp with something that can take my notes and save them digitally where they should be, whether it's for work or personal matters. And make it easier for me to turn them into something I can use on my computer. I was hesitant to go with reMarkable 2 because no one likes spending a lot of money only for the new model to come out shortly after. It makes the already short life span of tech become a ticking time bomb.

    Price is a factor worth noting. I just recently bought a Kindle Scribe after spending some time shopping all of the options including the Remarkable 2. My final decision came down to those two devices, and price probably was the single biggest deciding factor. I got the Scribe for $239, and the Remarkable 2 right now is listed at $399. That's a big difference. The Remarkable software might be better, but whatever advantages it had weren't worth the extra $160 to me.

    Brandon - for me the big attraction is if I can write and write and write in my handwriting on a ReMarkable 2 and then after the meeting press a button and what I have written magically turns into type written text that I can then convert into a wordprocessed document or a PowerPoint-type document. Such a feature, if quick and accurate, would be 100% ideal for me. I am told the ReMarkable 2 has a feature that allows the user to convert their handwriting into typed text, but I have never seen a review or a video that shows me this feature being used. Is this because it is not a very good feature? Is it because it is very inaccurate? Or it is a paid extra? Or it is not possible to do this?

  • @MrKlawUK
    @MrKlawUK 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    the struggle I have is recollection and search. I think the Remarkable 2 still doesn’t allow for easy search of handwritten notes? Does it allow for search on the mobile app or desktop app (is there a desktop app/web app?) - if so that may be good enough, using the tablet mainly for the immediate notes.

    • @bgosl
      @bgosl 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Anything that's handwritten and has stayed handwritten - i.e., you haven't converted to text - isn't searchable, no. You'd have to convert it all to text to be able to search, or potentially make headers with typed text to let you search through those (you still wouldn't be able to search the text body, though).

      @bgosl 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just because of how e-ink refresh rates work, you would never get as smooth zooming in and out as with for instance an iPad. If your main workflow is drawing, zooming out to see an overview and in to draw details, then the RM isn't for you. If that's not your main task, I don't think you would be bothered much by zooming and panning speed. Panning down to extend a page can certainly be a bit choppy, but personally I just prefer making new pages anyways since that keeps a regular paper aspect size should I want to print later.

Do you think the Boox NA3 is a viable upgrade primarily for custom template support, and better shape drawing tools over the RM2? And the fact I can access my calendar and contacts from it.

Easy.

    of course, I‘d buy it again, because there is no such a device available from an another vendor. Others do have e-Ink tablet, yes, and they‘re great devices. The reMarkable is not (just) an e-Ink device, it is the perfect digital piece of paper in front of you. Just try other devices, than you realize how good (easy to use, seamless work of desktop and mobile Apps) and precise the RM2 is! Important: there is no difference when using notebooks, PDFs and eBooks - you can store them within the same folder, same toolset and accessable from the Apps, too! Ever tried to take a look into an eBook while on the road and your table is at home? no issue at all using the reMarkable App!
