Someone on Reddit said they talked to RM support and said the noise is on all of them, and nothing they can do about it. Others say it doesn't do it while writing notes, just pdf refresh. Thank you for your thoughts on this. Will check out your RM community and just subscribed as well.
Thank you for sharing your honest and descriptive review. To me, the backlight alone is enough to migrate to this model. The colors are nice to have, though hopefully, software updates will help make them more vibrant. Enjoy your new machine!
It shouldn’t be normal, it is a design flaw that they haven’t noticed probably during the process. It can be mitigated by software, i don’t think they can still do much on the hardware at this stage.
Noticed the same noise when flipping Pages in my pro as well. The screen though is more grey with no backlight on imho. The pen as you say is better, an order of magnitude better than RM2.
I've seen reports on the Reddit RM thread of the high pitch electronic sound. Would be interested to hear what RM says about it. I'm usually working in an environment where there is some humming/white noise/fans so I don't think it would bother me. I have my RMPP on order and looking forward to getting it. Got tired of waiting for the A5 version of the new Supernote. Love my Supernote, but the RMPP took me by surprise when it was announced and drew me towards it instead of waiting for Supernote's larger offering. I will miss the notes linking function if I stick with the RMPP instead of Supernote. Appreciate you showing your first impressions. Yes, I am looking for some post-purchase affirmation but I guess it will really be up to personal preference once I get it. Had the Boox Tab Ultra C Pro and the Kaleido screen just wasn't for me and I really do need a less-distracting device. Please report back what you hear from RM regarding the noise. From what I see in your video, the color refresh flashing really isn't that bad. Just watched Kit Betts-Masters' first impression video and he doesn't like the refresh and says its distracting. Guess it's a personal opinion on what everybody tolerates. Either way, I'm pretty excited about my purchase and hope it works out. The bigger screen is definitely my big want.
@@ktvideoproductions I think you will like it. It’s a nice device overall! rM got back to me about the noise and said it is to be expected. So nothing to worry about I suppose! Will do more of an update in due course.
@@OrganisedByJoeOdd, I saw no one else reporting that noise! It's so weird yet fascinating that it makes a noise, it kinda reminds me of analog tech haha
Thank you for the review! The new pen being charged via the tablet is a massive drawback for me. I really enjoy having a pen that's always ready to go with my remarkable 2. Good to know that I won't feel the need to upgrade anytime soon.
If it is massive issue, where do you store you pen, when you don't use the device? So far I can see, you never have to think about charging. In my case it will stay at the side of the device, when not in using it.
Congratulations on the new device. Can you also please show how a pic from a book would look? Did you pay the monthly/yearly fee on your rem2? I was grandfathered into it so I did not have to pay. I would get the Pro, but if I have to pay, I will just keep my rem2.
@@Ace_Of_Bace I don’t actually have any books on it, I’m sure you can find someone on TH-cam showing that. I don’t pay the fee yet, you get it free for a year!
Nice first view. It looks a bit disturbing seeing the device on the table. It looks like a very grey screen border and grey background of the display. But when you put it next to the window, I was happy that it shows an almost white screen and borders. It is not as white as the Remarkable 2, but close enough for my taste.
@@StashiaMass It should be at the top of the description box! I will add a link here too. The chess is part of an activity book, I recommend having a quick watch of the TH-cam tutorial on the activity book which is on my channel for a full overview 😊 organisedbyjoe.etsy.com/listing/1778852927
Moving away from Wacom is a big issue for me and no Android support is not a device I can use for the nearly $1K USD expense. Thats if you want all the bells and whistles.
Oof ok...I got my remarkable 2 the day before the announcement of the pro....and now i'm sitting here wondering if my brand new less than a week old product needs to be returned? I don't really care about color portion of the tablet as I just use this for note taking/casual writing and the occasional document creation away from my primary pc. Is it worth moving on from the remarkable 2 for this?
@@christophermartinez9883 Hi, thanks for your question. I will be doing a video on this soon, but in short I do not believe the rM2 is now redundant. They are quite different devices and I still like my rM2. Only swap it if you really want the pro, the rM2 has plenty of life left in it.
@@ulkigmeme2703 It is a darker screen that the remarkable 2, due to the colour eink. However when it isn’t against a white background it feel quite white overall.
Cancelled the order purely over the high pitched sound on a friend's new unit. If your hearing is normal, it will drive you up the wall. It is not an enjoyable experience to say the least. And once you notice it, it's impossible to un-hear it. Just my 2 cents.
@@NishitNath23 I seem to only get the noise when using more sizeable documents but I agree, if I was hearing it more regularly that would be it for me.
@@OrganisedByJoe So it seems like the noise is momentarily there when there's a complete page refresh. But as someone who uses the RM2 for editing PDFs for work, tyou obviously go through tonnes of pages a day. It's just not my cup of tea I guess.
Battery pen and no button, USB-C to C is annoying, glad it's thicker and has a bucket design since rM2 is so fragile, but I don't want it bigger, it's missing the bar on the left which was good for holding, still glass screen though and I don't trust them with the paper feel. Darker/grayer screen is another minus then. Damn, if that noise is supposed to be there then it goes against their distraction free thing. But colors is nice, not something I cared much about and it's annoying how it's gotta refresh. The light I like, looks very nice on camera. Price is insane though so f that.
@@Nekotaku_TV I agree, having used it a little more, I am starting to prefer the rM2 size for portability. The screen is not as white but I don’t really notice that personally. The light is probably my favourite feature so far!
@@theitalianghost I have never used the bigme galy unfortunately, but the screen is light enough for me. You only notice the grey tinge when you put it next to a bright white colour to compare.
That planner looks amazing. Definitely going to check it out when mine gets here.
@@Tmill2905 Thanks! The colours have come a little washed out on the rMPP so I am updating it a little in the coming days 😊

Yeah, I heard the same noise in another video review too. I think it's just the technology.
@@AmbientClassical Heard? You are using it isn't it?
This is so awesome. Great video. I have been using RM2 and now with the Pro and colors in it, it would definitely my to go one.
Thank you, glad you found it useful!

@@gailrauner7960 Thanks for the feedback! The backlight is very impressive I must admit.
I’ve ordered mine and waiting it to be shipped. Hearing that sound annoyed me without me experiencing it by myself! Sad!
@@ereninhoyaseras842 reMarkable support said it is to be expected so not a fault but a bit annoying nonetheless.
@@OrganisedByJoe 😭 are you planning to have colorful templates for pp?

Please update us on the noise. That would deter me from upgrading.
@@shrtblondie1 No problem, it seems to only occur for me within PDFs but it is bothersome nonetheless.
Nice.
And that templates may work in a Meebook M103?
@@editorenbici Thanks! If it supports standard PDFs with hyperlinks then it should, however I do not have this device to test it.
How long did you wait from it from the moment you ordered it?
@@malcolmportelli4150 I purchased it on Wednesday after the announcement!
