I am a rM2 user for four years and I ordered the rMPP the same day it was announced. The 11.8" screen and the colour options are the main factors for the upgrade since these are the improvements I always ask for during my four-year use of rM2. When I wrote on the daily planner templates on my rM2, I always wish the screen would be 1-2 inch larger and the colour option will greatly expand my ways to utilise my templates which take the tablet to next level. The front reading light is the icing on the cake and will definitely improve my user experience at night when the wife is sleeping.
Two things appealed to me about it: the larger screen size and the colour options. When I’m editing my writing the fact that the highlight colour on remarkable 2 only comes out as variations of grey isn’t ideal. It doesn’t really stand out. Switch to the Paper Pro and the colour options means those highlights should really pop. Will I be getting one? Probably not at the moment. The remarkable 2 fits well at the moment, plus I was an early adopter, so I’ve got free access to all of the subscription benefits. Good video and I’ll be interested to see what you think when you receive your Paper Pro. 🤞
Even if the storage increase is not needed in terms of storage, but it actually improves the performance of the pad, as the more you fill a storage in percentage, the more it will slow down the system as storing and so on will get more taxing, probably also affecting the battery time due to needing more work to do a task, so it's a win win.
At this point, it's probably harder and harder to get storage that's only 8gb or they foresee it being harder/more expensive to get compared to 64gb over the expected lifespan of the device. Like imagine trying to get parts for 250mg storage these days. Does anyone even make that anymore? It's probabaly more expensive to get a manufacturer to make a 250mb card than it is for something larger that is widely used across all different genres of devices. We might be at a point where that's happening to 8gb of storage.
Good on you for being wise to the dim front light. Got my Paper Pro 2 days ago, and it‘s packaged for returning today due to that overly dim front light, which does not allow me to comfortably read or write anything in very dim/nighttime/no-ambient-light settings, where I like to read and write at the end of a day (without the distraction and radiation caused by other devices). Another drawback: The colors don‘t pop enough for my taste, and while writing in black is fantastically responsive, writing in any other color is very sluggish, which appears to be due to the technology used, so not likely to just be a firmware issue. I‘m very sad to send it back, since I otherwise loved the design, the UI and everything else about it. Going back to my Kindle Scribe.
@@scottbecker3485 Interesting! Is the light really that bad? I am aware it is much dimmer than the kindle scribe but I watched a video of it in a dark room yesterday and it looked more than sufficient. Or is it the lack of a warmth adjustment?
Scribe is great and does more, really. Remarkable Pro is so barebones it’s unbelievable. Compare its functionality to Boox tablets and weep. I do luv their pursuit of an ideal though, kinda.
@@davidrutledge6215 Yep. And actually, „barebones“ would have been fine with me, but only if the execution of it had been excellent in all respects. Pursuing an ideal means first figuring out whether that ideal is truly attainable, and if not, then admitting that to oneself and moving on. The Paper Pro seems to have been born in the spirit of innovation, but even when the ideal turned out to be unobtainable, the marketing department‘s intentions keep the project trudging on to its inevitably less-than-satisfying outcome. Very of for this company, in particular, which is known for dedication to perfecting details. I really wanted to love the PP, but am now happily using my Scribe and rejoicing in its multifunctionality, form factor and fantastic light.
I got one too. As soon as it went on sale. They are great pieces of tech. Had to sign exchange docs for my house the other day and I couldn’t find a pen in the house. I got the keyboard… but unsure if I’ll keep it but it was only $50 extra over the leather.
@@philliplhunter Hi Phil, I also noticed the price difference between the leather and type folios was minimal. I didn’t go for either in the end as both seemed excessive, I might try pick up a second hand type folio later down the road.
good idea. Carrying for work - and to and from work - want to keep it safe as they last forever. Excited to get it - the colour is key. Esp since I keep it all on the remarkable.
I am keeping my rm2 as they let you have 3 devices on your account and I plan to use one for reference documents and one for daily notes (color pop is important for my brain when note taking).
I think main reason that would motivate me to buy it is around latency or lag. If everything happened faster that would be high consideration for me. Backlight means less focus maybe bit subtlety as you kind of get set up to use remarkable -and that means business, other than open all hours .. Maybe, not sure . When Remarkable pro ultra 3 comes out in 2036 and I can watch TH-cam cat videos in E-ink, then we know they went the wrong way. Looks great product very tempted 😊
@@scampydog2318 I too am looking forward to seeing if I can notice the latency and any lag improvements. The rM2 was quite slow when navigating around pages.

@@oblivionnokk3531 Agreed! Hopefully moving between pages etc is quicker than the rM2 as it is pretty slow compared to its rivals.
@@OrganisedByJoe By the looks of it, it will in many ways be so, but doubt it will be as fast as digital pads like ipads and samsung pads.

@@jovanireyes8093 A few commenters in the space are guessing the mini is next. Christmas time or early next year, let’s see!
here is the hierarchy of awseomeness from least good to most good

- a sheet of paper

Like you, I've ordered it to try it out; mainly because of the colour screen and the light.
@@yellit1975 Exciting, have you had any emails regarding delivery estimates?

@@OrganisedByJoe thank you, I will be watching your videos with interest.
@@andrewfuller999 Thanks for the feedback! It has arrived and have given some initial thoughts on my newest video.
Do uou have affliliate link?
I don’t sorry
Can you read books on it?
@@frozengamer3030 You can, it is not as easy to get them loaded as a kindle though.
in fact, you have to buy the pro pen once 2years because of battery.
@@SatomiTanaka495 I sincerely hope it lasts longer than two years!
But it charges when docked,,,,, so it’s rechargeable. Surely they wouldn’t have used a naff battery with such a short lifespan for this day and age.
Not worth the money, it's all hype
@@MarcelloBranca for some people I agree it isn’t. Will do a full review on it in due course. It isn’t however all hype, there are some big improvements.
