My upgrade from rM2 to the pro is out for delivery 🎉 Really exited, hope to receive it tomorrow. The color display and backlight were the main reasons to immediately jump on the bandwagon and order it right away. The increased size was secondary. Still love the rM2, but hope to love this upgrade even more 😀
How exciting! Same reasons for me … and the fact that reviewing things like this has helped this channel grow 😆 Enjoy and let us know what you think of it after you’ve had a play 🤩
I have had the RM2 for two year's and I absolutely love it. I just learned of the new RM Pro yesterday and despite its high price I could not throw my money at them fast enough! I got my order in but I am looking at almost a month before it ships. I bought my RM2 because I am a big note taker and I just wanted one device to replace all my different notebooks going forward. The RM2 has been a gamecahnger for me and I am convinced that there is no one better in the digital notebook space then RM. Cant wait for the Pro, it has all of the upgrades I wanted for my RM2 and more!
Love it and can’t wait to get it in a few weeks. I had my rM2 as a pre-order from 2020 and love it. I have the Supernote A5X and A6X2 nomad and i still find myself longing for my rM2. I was using both devices, A5X fro work (waiting on the A5X2) and my rM2 for school. The pro just got me excited to go back to my rM2 as my main device coupled with my nomad for on the go.
When I watched the announcement I was expecting Tim Cook to step out. It took so many leads from Apple’s playbook for announcements. It looks great but agree the price is starting to creep up towards the high side. Time will tell if this is a factor or not in sales.
Regards presentation, I thought that too! From the comments I’ve read so far it seems to be a 50/50 split that either it’s too expensive or “quick, take my money!” 😆
This device MUST be bought with its marker. I find irritating their selling strategy of separating the prices of tablet and pen to make it seem cheaper when it's absolutely insanely expensive. I HATE when I read a price, then in the basket it's bigger because of items that are mandatory to be able to use that thing. This is the same reason why I never bought a remarkable.
@@mark_kelly No, it isn't! @enzomasci5218: At Remarkable's website it states directly and quite clearly "Marker included". So, nothing to hold you back perhaps? It is still €700 so still not all that cheap....
I'm excited by this device. I've had the RM2 since soon after they came out. But I'm going to make myself wait at least a month to look at buying this. I want to see what people think and let that excitement wear off.
I have two Onyx Devices. I don’t understand the “web of menus” and “customization over customization”. I haven’t seen any option for customization. Since I got my devices I just installed the Kindle app, O’Reilly, Google Play Books and that’s it And the notes app they include is fantastic So the main compelling point for me it would be the new screen technology that Remarkable has and that they enforce a minimal approach. Not sure if that values the premium tag. Kinda feels like paying more and do less
There are so many menus and options to change and play around with, to me it feels too much! Just my honest impression. Don’t get me wrong, they are great devices and if you stick to just using a few apps like you it works a treat. And totally agree that the Notes app is very good (I recorded a video recently where I look into that a bit more). I come from the simplicity of the Scribe and so I don’t need or want the myriad of choices the Android based Onyx Boox devices bring. But for those who like that, then brilliant go for it!
I own a few different devices for note taking, including the RM2. I like the way the software has been updated over the past couple of years, except for the Type folio, which I would prefer be expanded into a more full fledged text editor. Anyway, the Pro sounds like they listened to their customers and then added a few surprises of their own, so I have paid the price of giving it a go. Sounds like you felt the same. Great review by the way.
At work I have more than 50 people asking me about the R2, most people don't know anything about this device. Imagine next week when I bring the R pro😁.
I had a reMarkable 1 and immediately signed up for a reMarkable 2 when it was released, I even bought the folio keyboard. However as much as I love my reMarkable 2 I can't bring myself to buy one. I think reMarkale have some really amazing technology, it's just I don't have the needt that they are pitching it at. But, I have to say the new one looks amazing. If I didn't already have a reMarkable 2 I would be torn between which one to buy now.
I never think about battery life when it comes to an E Ink device as they tend to go on for weeks depending, of course, on how much you use them and whether you have wireless connections enabled and use the backlight. To answer your question more succinctly, reMarkable is suggesting up to 2 weeks (5,030 mAh battery) - remarkable.com/store/remarkable-paper/pro/details/compare
Really disappointed that there’s no rebate or discount available for anyone that purchased the remarkable in the last 90 days. I literally just bought one not long ago and now this comes out. 3 days after I got my RM2, I accidentally dropped the pen and the eraser broke off.I emailed remarkable support and I didn’t even get the courtesy of a reply email to acknowledge my correspondence. I’m always getting emails about how wonderful the company is and promotional material to buy more products/services. I expected this non response based on the reviews I read about the eraser easily breaking and the company not responding- which in my view is a design fault of the pen. They have an amazing product, but unfortunately I think it’s overpriced - not because the quality overall is not there, but mainly because the support is poor, the communications/information is not transparent (surely they knew the rm3 was about to be launched) and the lack of support for existing customers is non existent (now and historically). They’re happy to take your money, but you’re on your own after that. I’ll be giving it a miss too.
It sounds like you’ve had a tough experience with customer support and communication from the company, and that’s not okay. It’s fair to expect better, especially when you’ve invested in what should be a premium product. The fact that they didn’t even acknowledge your email is disappointing, to say the least.
@@mark_kelly Thanks Mark. I may have spoken too soon. I’m in the process of returning the Rm2 and that was easy enough. It turns out I’m well within the 100 day satisfaction guarantee period (51 days in). I definitely will consider the pro - mostly because it has a backlight and colour - the 2 most important things that in my view were dealbreakers when I started using it. They also include a strap in the folio now to hold your pen in so it doesn’t drop and fall out, which was one of the most (if not all) ways the eraser pen would break according to the reviews and forums. If I do eventually get the RM pro, I’ll certainly be extra careful with the eraser pen. I’ll keep you posted. 😊
Love it and can’t wait to get it in a few weeks. I had my rM2 as a pre-order from 2020 and love it. I have the Supernote A5X and A6X2 nomad and i still find myself longing for my rM2.

Were you able to trade in your rM2 for the Pro and get a discount?

Enjoy! I hope it arrives sooner than expected for you 🤩
I've read that the Supernote has a way to search handwritten notes that the reMarkable does not have yet.

If you can resist the temptation for a ‘shiny new thing’ I think this is very wise. 👍🏻
Just ordered it as my first reMarkable. Sidegrading from Boox Max2.
I love your use of the word “sidegrading”! Enjoy ☺️
@@mark_kelly Well, it is what it is. :)

Looksintresting but i hate subscription services. Is there ni other way to share the data to other devices?
They integrate with dropbox, google drive, one drive. No subscription required! Easy to acces and nearly instant.
@@bjorndekoning1338 isn't the google drive integeration a paid subscription, or did they change that ?
Sounds like you’ve got an answer reading some of the replies to your post.

Thanks for your comment and I appreciate your kind words. I’d love to know what you think of the Paper Pro when you get your hands on it! 😁

Thanks for sharing!
Not only 2gb of RAM, but its DDR4 instead of DDR3 from the Remarkable 2, so its not just twice as fast, but even more so.
Thanks for the extra info! 👍🏻
You have just thoughts while some of us already have a device itself 😂
Happy for you!
Thank you but what about the battery life?
I never think about battery life when it comes to an E Ink device as they tend to go on for weeks depending, of course, on how much you use them and whether you have wireless connections enabled and use the backlight. To answer your question more succinctly, reMarkable is suggesting up to 2 weeks (5,030 mAh battery) - remarkable.com/store/remarkable-paper/pro/details/compare
They estimate 20 hrs of use (2hrs per day, 5 times a week for 2 weeks)
It would have been perfect at 600 max
Capitalism at play I guess 😆
The return rate will be high on this one.
Why do you think that?
@@mark_kellyBecause of the flashing in color mode. If it's a huge no go for me then it must be the same for a significant percentage of users

I did wonder about the 100 day return policy. Glad you got it sorted. 😁

?
The price and the non-wacom pen is a huge turn-off. I'll be giving it a miss.
Fair enough!
Genuinely asking: Why is the lack of Wacom pen a turnoff?
@@ky1emart Some have invested in a wide range of Wacom pens.
@@StashiaMassThe price of the Wacom pen is a huge turn-off
Sorry I didn’t wait for your opinion this time and already ordered 😂
