This man is a detective
And I don't blame him. He's scrutinising the cutting edge of paper realistic computers. This is the direction in which a lot of people in the future may be prompted to go due to its applications in business, industry and education, if it turns out to be reliable, like Macs are preferred in many office environments today because they don't cater to gamers. What other e-paper tablets do is indeed fascinating. But it's hard to ignore the significance of achieving a 21ms input delay in terms of making a tool that is actually comfortably useful and reliable. And I'm a sucker for ebook/PDF readers, but it's been done before. It works, and is a software optimisation issue. I think reMarkable is trying to lead a revolution in pushing the envelope. So much so that, even though colour e-paper displays are being rolled out now, I imagine that reMarkable are gonna pull an Apple stunt, and not upgrade their devices to colour unless they can achieve a comparable improvement to their pen input, preserving the relatability with physical paper. Even if 90% of their other reader and navigation functionality continue to be crap, they will deserve recognition for their bold ambition, that seems to be casually ignored for similar all-rounder products. Say, even if they went bankrupt in a few months, I think it's safe to say they would be remembered with sadness for the quality they delivered and goal they tried to achieve.
They gotta hire someone to fix that poor excuse for reader already, though. Gosh.
This is just basic testing. There's even more stuff he didn't do that I would do.
I totally agree and I would support them ignoring the color aspect until it can replicate the 21ms latency. However I think the ball is now completely in the software development department court and it really depends how they handle it.
They have the potential to knock it out of the park with the rM2, but software side of things has to be taken way more seriously.
@@MyDeepGuide Afaik a source told me they got a computing wiz to do algorithms and a custom pen driver on xochitl, the main system. Whether or not that is true, it is one arguably small thing that they really got working. But unless there's something I'm missing, they don't get interface design at all, and have no idea what they're doing with the readers.
@@Nekotaku_TV I prefer the way he did it over the way you didn't do it.
Absolutely best reviewer on TH-cam. Many so called "Reviewers" on YT, just play with an electronics device few hours at most and they give their opinions. But unless, you really use it for a bit and do actual work with the device that you start seeing the difference.
And you are one of those few reviewers who actually do your homework. It is incredibly detailed analysis. I wish you can do similar reviews for other products as well.
I hope the reMarkable software team watches this video in full and takes notes.
I guess they never tested or experienced their own software in any way similar. even the developers.
I hope they will also read the comments here)
@@Romanaerl I doubt that. They have no reader capability 🤣
I just got the RM2 - i dont think they did. I went back to my number 1 until a software update is released, and am even thinking about selling it.
Ordered RM1 as I was not interested in waiting around for three months. Love the device it saves me so much time in terms of nkte taking for business meetings.
so much effort you have put into this comparison. The best so far ! Thank you, sir !
The best reviewer!! Thanks brother!
Awesome comparison. Thank you so much for the in-depth review, I can't wait until mine gets here. Hurry up batch two!
Thank you for this video. I trust your review over others and indeed your reviews are the most thorough!!
Awesome review! I love how in depth you go.
Thanks for the detailed review! Appreciate the attention to detail and the 1 hr test on each device! Happy to hear that writing near the edges is much better than on the RM1.
Thank you so much for this. Happily keeping my Rm1 after watching this comparison. I honestly really felt like going for the 2 because of the eraser... I love that the one is actually thicker... because it feels like a real paper notebook... and I love the click on the Rm1 pen... it helps with my anxiety... I don't write for an hour non stop... I write songs and the click on the back of the rm1 is super soothing like a clicker box... either way... good job! Thanks for this.
Nice. Awaiting this comparison. Loved the rM2 review series. Please continue that format. :)
Patreon! 😄 Need to send appreciation for your massively valuable work.
Seconded!
patreon is up :)
Link?
@@tedmanasa907 it's in the bottom of the description! Hidden away hehe
@@tedmanasa907 looks like you got a shoutout in his latest video 😁😂
The reMarkable 2 is connected to the cloud, the reMarkable 1 is not. Maybe this is the reason for the different boot times. And thanks for your wonderful reviews! :)
I'll test and see if that makes a difference :)
Wow, the speed difference really surprised me! I really hope that it's due to the rM2 being a pre production unit, would love some follow-up once you receive your batch-2 device!
No promises, but usually on an ARM device, there are always a lot of issues with software and driver optimization that can slow down an early-release unit, which *COULD* get faster with software updates.
When he was doing the speed test the rm2 was syncing in the back ground of he had turned off the sync during the test it would have been much faster
So much better than the Good E Reader video. Thank you for putting all the work in regarding videos of this device!
rM2 is so much better for comfort. The edges you described, the no buttons, the extra space on the left. Only the weight is worse.
I think rM2 sounded harder and rM1 sounded softer.
I would like to know if rM2 is more like a ballpoint pen than rM1. Could you tell me please?
WTH, how the hell is rM1 faster than 2 in booting?! Has the same OS and rM2 has higher specs...
And moving the cutout is straight up broken...
Wanted to see the speed of picking all the tools, that I think is faster on rM2. But hard to test.
Damn, screen is worse in the sun too... But like you said, hopefully it's fixable with software updates too. But then again... they are slow with that.
Seems that the nibs will wear down slower on rM2, that's good. Looking forward to another video after you'e used it for longer.
Yes, their “review” feels like an ad.
@@jamerican347 Yeah, that guys videos are all useless and devoid of substance.
@@ioioio13 It's not all bad though, their sheer worthlessness is what led me here, ages ago, before it was my deep guide even. Also, goodereaders' sony vs remarkable 2 "review" laughable. Especially after they have shown bias in an earlier video. Can't give it any credence at all.
Probably the software isnt optimized yet for rm2
Ludix147 I hope but I doubt it.
Love your idea for the two buttons on the marker instead of the eraser. Just bought mine a week ago! Happy to find this vid
Love your videos! You made the best reviews for e-readers. Thank you!
Thank you, Mr. Voja!
Really, it is a deep and objective comparison as we are always used to.
Thank you as always Voja.
Excellent review, I love that you even share what writing on each sounds like and really give a full review, it's amazing for products that people might hesitate to buy without being able to touch/test it in person. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your very detailed reviews and comments. I went ahead and ordered.
Very informative and detail, thanks so much ! this clip is really really helpful !
I hardly ever subscribe to channels. Made an exception here because I found myself checking regularly for new videos. This is amazingly informative. Great job, thank you so much.
Thank you very much for the support and for watching :)
Oh my goodness, this is a great review. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this review! So detailed and accurate😍I want to buy one as gift for a special person and you were really helpful!
I am impressed by your review, I hope you have all the success you deserve. Great job!
Thank you very much! :)
Probably the first video over 15 min I ever watched
you are incredibly thorough ! thank you
Many thanks for all your efforts creating these reviews. You have helped me hugely! The writing experience is always going to be inferior to my fountain pens, so I'm more interested in the additional features a digital device offers, which, sadly with reMarkable aren't good enough right now. I'm going to wait and see if RM get their act together software wise, and am very much looking forward to your future Supernote A6X review which may tip me towards the A5X when it is released. Good job, keep it up, and you deserve funding!
The video I have been waiting for :).
Wow! Another excellent, informative video. Your reviews and comparisons are second to none. When I receive my rM2 sometime later this year, it will be the first reMarkable device that I will have ever used. I will not notice any speed differences compared to rM1. The device will be the device and the speed will be the speed. Still a software update is sorely needed fix some worrisome issues that your comparison exposed in the rM2.
Amazing detailed review!
Kids are back at school but I’m still WFH. A cup of tea and an hour of Voija. How lovely :)
I was going to buy a 1 but watched your video and just got a 2 today, thank you Voya 👍🏼
I love the sound of the pen snapping into place on the rm2 @18:47
Awesome comparison review, very professional, without bias.
I think I will keep going on my RM1 for sometimes ... to me, it look as though the pros of RM2 which are mainly on the confort side do not justify the investment.
Thanks for your very comprehensive videos on eInk devices.
Erick
Another amazing review. I have had the RM1 for about 6 months and think it’s great. But I have ordered the RM2 now. In your reviews that the RM2 looks to have a better contrast with the black looking to be more blacker. Although I was shocked at how much slower the RM2 was. That’s a bit of a worry. I’m hoping that now they have released an amazing bit of hardware that they will now focus on the software.
Ive been following you since before you changed to “My Deep Guide” and I still get amazed at your videos. You should 7m subscribers!!!
Thank you!
Another great comparison. I think all your points need to be sent to rM - and my hope is that they take it to heart and make corrections asap - else, a lot of returns; major business loos and a brand-name degradation.
Other thing I have to comment on is your English. For a non native speaker - you are unbelievable! The social nuances that you are able to express makes you that much more relatable and effective. Congratulations !
Great comparison. Thank you for the effort you put in. RM2 seems more ergonomical but the software needs to be addressed immediately.
Thank you so much for the video，it helps me a lot
Sir.... YOUR REVIEWS ARE MIND-BLOWING! I am a brand-new subscriber.
Thank you very much and welcome to the channel :)
thank you for the amazing work!! Keep up with it ;))
That was an awesome review and so much detailed as usual.
Whereas Good ereader has been taking these reviews so for-granted.
They must have sent that unit to Morning Coach instead.
It's very common that pre-production units are slower. Performance are typically the last thing focused on (functionality is usually first). It should be better when released, but they should have prepared for this for review units (and they may have, there may be other reasons for it being a bit slow I guess).
Yupps, that's why I kept stressing it in the video, because it's not a production unit, so hopefully some of the issues have been ironed out :)
Thank you for submitting the ticket, and talking about the sun spots. I wouldn't have known that was a software issue. Also, I live in Texas... There's always sun here.
thanks for the in deep comparison
First: Congrats for the reviews. Very well done!. Although just seems a little viased to rM2, which I may understand when somebody has a lot of expectation to a very good looking device for long time ;-)
Second: After these magnific reviews, I really hope rM team contact with you to clarify all the extrange things that happen with rM2 specially in the ones which is worse than rM1 (shall be none!!). And after that, contact with all people that are waiting for months to get the device to calm us down by promissing a new SW that solves the issues, and avoid us cancelling the order.
I still chose the 1 over 2 because of the price difference - 299 for the bundle VS 448 for the 2. Also the availability - next stock for 2 is available only in Jan 2021. Great Video :)
Sterling review, as always 👍. Very surprised at some of the results, but as you said, let’s see if the actual production units are the same. As per another comment from Ted Manasa, you should definitely consider Patreon. You put so much time and effort in all the reviews for the many devices, Patreon (we) can help support your work.
Thanks for all your thoughtful reviews. Hoping you can soon get your hands on an Supernote A6X to compare with RM2.
this was a great comparison thank you. Best eink reviewer ever :D
Well said.
So basically, rM1&2 are like two notebooks with different kinds of paper.
rM1 awkwardly framed hardcover sketchbook with rougher paper and protruding edges that sometimes curl when you move your arm around.
rM2 glue bound slim note with thin, finer grit paper that quickly absorbs your ink (also you're allowed to bring a mechanical pencil with an eraser).
Somehow opening and moving stuff around is more efficient on the rough papered rM1, but it may be because the manufacturers of rM2 haven't quite gotten used to pressing out fine grit paper yet.
thank you and i laughed a lot when you tested for the software performance!! it is a huge prob yet it is not since it is just a software. hope they fix and launch.
your reviews are extremely thourough and thus very interesting
Thank you :)
I read it again... Sorry if it bothered you the first time ! I appreciate the passion you put in your reviews so as you said you could expect the same from your viewers :-) ! Safe travel for the geese !
Not at all :))))
excellent!!! thank you!
I've just ordered a supernote. Originally I was tempted by RM2 and considered RM1. However, while I think these are great devices and many will prefer them, it's the size and future updates that the A6x offer that suits my needs better.
One of the other things that persuaded me (apart from all your reviews, Voja, which are extremely helpful) is how quickly and honestly SN seem to respond to queries, whereas, ReMarkable don't appear to be addressing customers requests or concerns or even keep them in the loop about current issues and/or future improvements. Still it looks like an amazing device and I hope anyone who has either will get lots of use and enjoyment out of them
I was set on ordering the RM2 but my ended up ordering the Supernote A6X. RM seems to have focused on the hardware and left the software behind. Supernote emailed me back quickly when I asked a question, I see them on the chat boards working with users, and it integrates with Dropbox. For me, it seemed like better bang for buck plus the form factor works for me personally. RM2 is a beautiful product there is no doubt about that fact but they could focus a bit more on software. None of them are breaking barriers at this point but Supernote just edges out RM to me - right now!
What size is the supernote? Is it available in the UK?
Mark Lennard here is the URL:
supernote.com/
@@MarkLennard there are two sizes. The newer model A6X is 7.8". Yes, I ordered from their website and it ships from China. Please be careful as there are extra fees and VAT to take into account when comparing prices
Super super explainer. Thank you.
Appreciate the in depth comparison. You might want to do the OS response comparison while measuring the battery utilization. I have a strong suspension some of the add latency of RM2 is due to the manufacturer's power management implementation using multiple processors, which actually cut the power usage in 1/2 in your writing test.
Good looking out on the sunspot thing. Hopefully the team takes your service ticket seriously and it becomes a non-issue for new users receiving their units.
I noticed on your speed test at ~33:00, the RM2 was still doing a sync in the background. I know my RM1 is slower while the sync is going on. Turn off the syncing before doing the test again.
Great review. Just one comment: when copying notebooks, the size of the file should be related to the number of strokes rather than number of pages. On the RM2 you had a much tighter writing, so, probably, many more strokes per page, and a much larger file.
I like his voice
Great detailed comparison. Although the very fast writing/response time experience of RM2 seduced me a lot, the overall product still gives that prototype feel… (had that feeling with RM1 as well but it was OK for a totally new concept/device)… following this review, I decided to upgrade my RM1 when RM3 is out :) thank you.
The overall speed-difference can also come from the differences of data amount. As the rm2 has more pressure Levels it also have to load/Copy/Switch more Data than rm1
that's astonishing! well gonna check prices on the RM 1 now I guess. Because one thing you forgot to mention: you have a delivery on the RM 1 without "further delays because of the pandemic situation".
Hi, love the channel. A quick question for remarkable owners (preferably for the reviewer of remarkable 2 here): if you write on the tablet and have the desktop app open on your laptop, do you see pdf changes / edits in realtime with the cloud service? How long is the delay?
Batch 8. Great review/comparison. Hope they fix the software issues.
I see a bunch of guitars.
Have you tested this with sheet music? Is the page flip fast enough?
They have music related templates and side flip is rather fast. Search for other RM1 or RM 2 videos to see this in more detail.
Thanks so much for the review. I am wondering what you mean by “latency is imperceptible” though on the screen wise it is clearly showing the latency. Is it the matter of recorded video fps that’s kinda tweaking what it actually looks? Thanks so much, been waiting for this device for months!
Wow another amazing detailed video.
By the looks of it Remarkable decided to initially focus most of their resources on the hardware and completely neglected the software, since the weaker hardware on RM1 is outperforming the RM2 which is suppose to be at least twice as powerful. This most definitely means that little to optimization was done on the software to utilize the RM2 new hardware.
Remarkable probably hoped that people would buy their device and in the coming months/years they can focus on the software and fix the issues raised.
Kind of disappointed they're shipping an unfinished product.
Is there any difference on how much the screens glare? I notice that on my RM1 glare sometimes is annoying if I have lamp on top of RM. Is this still like this on RM2?
great vids .. Nearly bought R1 when it came out, but just too many negs, R2 looks a lot better, but now there is colour E-Ink, I expect a R3 at some point .. that will be a killer as I read and review a lot of pdf material - so being able to comment on colour is rather more important
For future writing sound it would be great if you pause the music for this section. Great comparision, hope remakable sill listen software vise. My batch is late so I probably have until the end of the year to see if any updates arrive.
Now that you have your personal unit. Are the performnce issues still there, such as the zoom speed, and the issue with moving the text around in a notebook?
Because of your reviews of the RM2, I decided to cancel my order (batch 6) and order the Quirklogic Papyr. Remarkable has had 3 years to perfect their software and , in certain major areas according to you, they haven't. The hardware improvements are stellar as it is a great looking unit. The problem is, for me, looks are great, but, they are essentially irrelevent. I wasn't buying it for its looks, I was going to buy it for its software performance. Software can always be improved with updates. The problem is the software deficiencies that you detail should not have been there after 3 years of development. What I would have expected was a state of the art e-ink notetaker and reader with software updates in the future to further enhance the unit and not play catch up by fixing prior deficiencies that should have been corrected, but, were not. Combine that with the less than adequate customer service and delivery details and I felt that I needed an alternative. At this moment, I don't think anyone readlly knows if there will be another delay or not and even if it will be delivered this year or not. Personally, I found Quirklogic's customer service excellent and the Papyr product, which is still in its infancy, to be very promising. I wish the best for the RM2, but, they need to make large improvements to their sales and product production processes. Finally, I want to thank you for all of the time you put in on your RM2 reviews. They were extremely well done and, in my humble opinion, were the most informative and unbiased of all of the RM2 reviews I have seen.
I'm still deciding between one or both, leaning towards the RM2. Between the two, the feature set of the Papyr speaks to me more intellectually, the RM2 speaks to me more emotionally.
The pressure and angle sensitivity can contribute a lot to expressing nuance in writing, and so the RM2 is likely the device I would grab if I wanted to write down my dreams before it fades, or a journal entry or something.
The Papyr with its infinite canvas and ability to change templates each page sounds a lot better for planning and mind mapping and organizing and all that.
Both devices are servicable in any of those use cases, and I'd probably be fine with just one, but if I had both that's how I'd use them.
(I don't really draw or plan to use it much for reading PDFs or other books.)
My big fear of the Papyr and all the Sony DPT hardware devices is that the micro usb charging port is the very clear break point of the device. I've worn out too many of those in other phones and gadgets to be comfortable having that. And because it's not Quirklogic's hardware, there is no guarantee there will ever be a second revision. It is nice the software is cross platform so at least there's no chance of losing all your work and you can access it in other ways.
I'm new to learning about this category of device so please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the remarkable team has the hardware in their own control, and so now there's a 2, and if it does well there will be a 3. Will there ever be a Papyr 2? Is Sony developing another interation of the harware for other people to put their software on?
If not for the micro usb port I would have bought a Papyr already for sure. As it is, I still might get one. It does offer a lot. But I'm in no rush and am still going to think about it
@@gerrya2133 Dear Gerry - I was going to get a magnetic adapter to the port. In this way, if something is plugged in and pulled by accident while recharging, the cord will just come apart magnetically. No damage - Best regards, Rick
@@actuary32174 oh? I didn't know those exist. I will look that up. That may solve my biggest fear.
@@gerrya2133 I think that aliexpress has them pretty cheap.
Thank you very much for your kindness :)
Great work, love the detailed reviews! Do you know if it's possible to convert to text and then save that digital text in the same document as the hand written file? I thought it would be useful to be able to search by keyword through my notes.
Nope, unfortunately not possible at the moment.
@@MyDeepGuide Ah that's a shame, thanks for all your good work though.
Can the used storage have an impact on boot time? I noticed the RM2 had a lot more of its storage used, so maybe if they perform some operations on whatever is stored on them during boot may impact boot time?
No, the OS has it's own reserved portion of storage. That's why we don't get the full 8GB.
My rM2 arrived today! I will surely compare it to my rM1 and see if the speed differences still exist.
Edit:
Some tests. rM1 and rM2 both 100% charged; rM1 version 2.3.0.16 (latest version), rM2 version 2.3.1.27 (as delivered; latest version)
rM2 start-up was definitely slower.
Both have exactly the same files (synced through the cloud). rM1shows 0.67 GB of 6.53 GB used, but rM2 shows only 0.56 GB of 6.41 GB used. And yes, I checked the trashcan: empty on both systems. It seems rM2 is more frugal with its storage. Better file compression? Different filesystem?
Moving a selection was OK. I could not see a difference between rM1 and rM2, except that rM2 had no "ghosting" and the selection moved crisply and clearly. Definitely an improvement.
Building thumbnails: no difference in speed.
Page switching: no difference in speed.
Duplicating a large file: same speed.
Conclusion: Except for the start-up time, the speed is at least the same between rM1 and rM2. rM2 seems more frugal with its storage. The problems with the selection (select, move, copy, paste) have been solved.
Are you able to sync the two - using them interchangeably?
@@SusheePerumal no. I'm sure he means he terminated cloud sync on the RM 1, connected in cloud synced the rm2, and compared the storage. You absolutely cannot keep the two in automatic sync.
It is possible that the RM one has a series of temporary cache files, however, taking up the incremental space. Seems more likely than the unit moving to a new file system with a compression layer.
Thank You for complete review. Can it be possible that rM2 startup is slower because software is not yet well enough optimized for two cores? Edit - You already answered...
I'm guessing the Software is tuned for single core. Dual cores could then be an overhead and in fact be slower. The software needs tuning/rewriting for multiple cores, but of course that would mean problems, or a slow down for RM1.
what would you recommend for drawing remark 1 or second?
Thanks for the comparison! Really good info. I have a RM1 and am in batch 6 for RM2. Sounds like comfort, design, and writing win on RM2. Because I use RM for drawing and some writing, I’m hoping the RM2 is the winner. I’m also hoping the folks at ReMarkable will watch this video and jump on the software issues (slowness compared to RM1). Very puzzling why RM2 is slower in any way. General question: have you noticed a difference with the drawing tools, especially the sketch (software) tool?
I already cancel my pre-order last month because I can't keep waiting my RM2 and also I have my RM1, and right now I'm so thanks for this video , I don't regret cancel my pre-order for my RM2, because I think the RM1 is really enough to me , I'm really looking forward the next generation RM3 with better software update depend open operate system and better hardware with colorful eink display and UI design , there a lots of new Eink products release now , also there a lots of choice for Eink notebook .
First of all. Thank you for the AMAZING, detailed, non-biased, quite nerdy and humorous reviews you create. You rock!
As the recipient of one of this pre-production RM2 units. Do you have a faster communication channel with RM to address these questions? Booting on RM1 faster than RM2, ridiculous. The sunlight issue on the screen. Etccc
By the way, can't wait to get my hands on mine (batch 7)....
I don't have a direct line, but I have sent them some of my findings and am waiting for a response to know where to send issues related to the rM2, so yeah, I'm letting them know, but I also know that they watch my videos and are actually quite supportive of it, despite me being transparent, so I give them definitely kudos for that :)
@@MyDeepGuide cool deal. Once again. Congrats on the amazing work you deliver.
Great review! It feels like remarkable 2 should have been treated like an intermediate generation where you sacrifice some performance for writing experience and build.
Is there any updates about the software performance on the RM2? I'm looking into buying one and wonder if the much cheaper RM1 might be the better choice.
With the increased battery life that we see on the Remarkable 2 that does makes sense that processing could be slower even with improved hardware. If the processing engine in Remarkable 2 has been optimized for battery life then processing time could be compromised... just like a vehicle tuned for gas mileage won’t win races against a vehicle tuned for performance. Might have been an intentional compromise. If the unit is still usable without annoyance under normal circumstances, (not side by side comparison), then for many people that’s a worthwhile trade.
That’s totally just my own analysis of the speed differences, I could be wrong.
If that is the case it could be cool if Remarkable team offers different performance settings via os updates in the future for those who would prefer speed over battery.
Thank you for this fantastic comparison. For me the writing experience is so well, why bother about the speed difference in particularly. RM2 is a major step in digital writing. I would like to mention another positive aspect. The marker+ is the one you should use. Being able to erase with the pen is a huge advantage. (i make a lot of mistakes ;-) )
Great video as always. I would love to see your thoughts on a new e-ink device the QuirkLogic Papyr- it uses Sony Digital Paper hardware which is supposed to be good but the software looks better than anything else out here for writing notes and reading. There are a couple reviews but no one has done a deep dive like you do with devices, and that is so important since we can't try out these devices in stores! I heard they are shipping mostly in North America though (I can't recall if you've mentioned what part of the world you are based in) so I don't know if it's possible for you to get a review sample but if you can, I'd love to see your opinion!
Thanks! I have contacted them to see if there is a possibility of getting a review device on loan, so we'll see :)
Thanks again for this. Does the glassiness of rM2 make it feel similar to the tablets like Surface Pro or iPad?
I wouldn't characterize it as glassy at all, so no, not even close.
maybe the lower battery of the rm2 is a factor? If the latency is caused by the software, can be fixed with software udpdates?
I have the RM1 and while new pen interest me and sure rm2 looks nicer... I think I'm going to stay with RM1 and not rush to get rm2 till maybe another year.
Excellent review -After this review I am having second thoughts if I should cancel my order -second batch- Lack of imagination from the company - Making the hardware look good but lack of any any improvement on the software shows ignorance from the reMarkable team-what a shame!!
Does the touch buttons will be a problem with left hand ?
I'm consider buying this for notes taking. I am curious though if you can reference another note. Ideally a certain region in different document you may have written at a different time. Sort of like you do on Microsoft OneNote
Any official statement of the company concerning the ereader capabilities in the meantime?
12:25 Wouldn't the levels of sensitivity be a function of the device's digitizer, and not the pen itself?
excellent review ... good with the bad ... obviously they need better programmers to take advantage of the faster cpu ... more storage probably would not work due to the very slow access times to load and save ... i am not a fan of subscriptions and off device storage ... i have my doubts but will not withdraw my pre order ... remarkable is luck to have you reviewing their product, at least their customers can go in with our eyes open ...
Voya, could the low performance of the RM2 be linked to the fact you tested a pre-serie? Will you receive a real market RM2 to validate whether things have improved and received any comments from ReMarkable on your findings?
