  • For months, I searched TH-cam trying to figure out which device would be better for my needs. I quickly discovered that there wasn't a winner. The WIN was adding both of the devices to my workflow. Surprisingly, it's been a game-changer for me.

    So glad to find someone else that uses the iPad and rM2 together. I felt kind of guilty running the two side by side, but to see someone else do the same is validating ;)

      Update: I sold my RM2 since I made this video. When I got the new iPad Pro M4, I decided I no longer need the RM2.

    Thank you. Really very helpful. The way you layout your use case. Recognising that there is another way to see it. Not just either, or. But also. The most compelling I’ve heard for the remarkable.

    Can you use your iPad/Apple Pencil to add to a Remarkable note on the Remarkable iPad app?

      No. Typing only on external devices. It’s annoying, I agree.

    Scott I started to watch you when you where just begging your journey. I'm polish but grown up in Ireland. Before COVID I was engaged doing videos and then everything changed. I'm working as a Hotel Manager in the city centre of Dublin. I'm going to be honest. I didn't watch you for a long time because you were moving forward and I was going back, but now I found something weird agreement with myself that I understood and need to move forward. You are a smart guy, thank you for the wedding behind the scenes 😅 helped me a lot even I did it once by myself. It went great even though the prist locked my cameras in the church 😂 always need to improvise like you. I didn't touch computer at home and camera for years but then yesterday I remembered about you. Let see what happens 😅 thank you man. It's probably my first comment on you tube 😂 I hope you read it 😎 Cheers!

    Thank you for this video. I have an iPad Pro and ordered a Remarkable Paper Pro as an additional device for patient notes. I was feeling guilty until watching your video 😊 I really like the idea of keeping it on and next to my iPad. Thanks again!

    My Remarkable has saved many trees. Love how I can import files from Onedrive but the drawback is you can only import PDF's. I would love to see WORD docs to be added. Not sure why this isn't feasible. I love the feel, the different "pens" you can buy and how this little device has actually made me more organized. It's a notebook. That's it and I love not having sticky notes all over as well as wasting paper.

  • @Justin_Cowley

    I would have to 100% agree with you. Wrughting somthing down it’s more efficient than typing it down, I believe it's a good way to remember things and help you stay on track. But I'm the one to talk, I don't write things down as I should all the time.

    The ReMarkable 2 does actually connect to the internet. You can send emails, but you can't receive them. Also, you can turn writing into text and you can connect all nptes and PDFs via their Connect service and access OneDrive & Google Drive and you can see all the notes you take on ReMarkable onto an iPad...so you missed a whole lot in a good review otherwise.

    • @scottmckenna

    Thanks Scott! Great Video! Do you still use the Remarkable for quick note taking? Do you ever export your notes for long term storage (like meeting notes) perhaps as a pdf to Notion or some other PKM? I loved the Remarkable and have even tried the Boox, but at the end of the day the writing feel is great on either E-ink device, and it fits perfectly JUST for quick notes - replacing Paper…. THANX

    Man, it doesn’t write smooth! That’s the point of reMarkable that there’s a friction which you can simulate on smooth iPad screen as well with Paperlike 😂 Ever wondered why your tips wear off? Precisely because it’s not a smooth surface 😂 You should really prepare better ❤

    So basically you bought reMarkable, because you didn’t realize you won’t need keyboard with iPad and you didn’t know that there’s Paperlike screen protector for iPad that will give you the same feel for few bucks 😂 Very clever and brave to share this with us 😂

      Since you’re clearly new to my channel, I’ll help clarify. I’m a huge iPad user, and I’ve been using the iPad (with a paper like screen protector) for many years. It’s my main device. The Remarkable absolutely has a better writing experience, and with the new model they came out with, it just got even better. I still like my iPad more, and I use it far more, but the remarkable is a great tool for many people.

      Actually, the Remarkable team keeps improving the software on a consistent basis for everyone who has bought the hardware instead of just trying to sell new hardware in a cash grab. The current device works great, doesn’t need an upgrade. I’d call that a win.

      @@davesnow I agree with you for the most part. I wouldn't mind a backlight that is available to turn on when needed because there have been a few times where I wanted to use my reMarkable at night and with my normal evening room lighting it was a little hard to see. Other than that I do think they really nailed the hardware and I hope they don't stray too far from the design in the next version. The higher DPI white paper screen (300 dpi on the Kindle) would also be a great bonus.
