The price is insane. Especially when you consider some of the technical issues with it like ghosting and lag. But apart from that I love it. Taking notes or drawing anatomy is just like on paper. And like other people are saying, the point with it is to get you away from distractions. It is supposed to be free of all that social media/app nonsense. I for one am a person who wants to get more and more away from the constant distractions that follow with technology. Much of the reason the price is so high is because they face no competition in their field. Once companies like Amazon start pumping out similar products the price will go down.
Yeah .. really cool ... but I suppose I’ll finish all my studies until these ecome even remotely reasonably priced I would love going to class and taking notes of one of these ... but for 640€, I can buy 2 laser printers, 10kg of toner from China, and literally with no exageration, enough paper to basically level any and all amazonian rainforests
God, almost $900 here in Canada. All I want is something comparable to the Paperwhite but with a larger display that isn't 5x the price. I wish Amazon would release an XL version of the Paperwhite for $50 or so more.
@@Poonam-ih5gc I like it. Geez, let me do that again....it allows me to take notes actually in my books for school & it allows me to take notes for class. It's really a good benefit to me.
@@Poonam-ih5gc sorry brother, that first reply was confusing. I was replying to you from my phone. I edited what I said making the answer to your question more concise.
@@Poonam-ih5gc the words are as big as on a paper page. There isn't much of a difference between a paper page & the remarkable in how it looks. It wouldn't be preferred for regular reading because you can only use PDF documents. If you want e-reading, a preferred reading is on the Kindle or a nook.
I Bought it when it was at the 379$ I believe price tag. I got to say I absolutely love it! I hope they can reduce the price down the road.Im a business analyst and this is essential for note taking. Love it!
A lot of people have been wanting a full review of this device and I'm impressed with what they've got so far. Although it seems a little pricey. I'm sure the second or third generation device will be much more robust😀
I've got mine, and I am so excited about it. I have worked with my reMarkable for almost a week, the only problem of tablet is that the battery life is not good and you can see obviously that your battery is decreasing, and you cannot work with reMarkable for more that 4 hours(best-case scenario) :(
sql-lover yes I have seen the sony's digital paper as well, reMarkable has more functionality, and you have more options for working on pdfs and especially drawing, on top of all of that sony device is so expensive, That's wgy I chose reMarkable, and am hopeful that in the OS updates they solve this problem :)
I got it for $400 and some change when it was still in development. Was worth the price plus came with a nice case made of wool. Thanks for the review!
I wish they added coloured pens like red, green and blue - but mostly add highlighters in color (like traditional highlighters). I hope they'll add that soon then I'd buy it in a heartbeat seems perfect for college
So many people that have absolutely no clue what this device is for... "Oh, it's too expensive, I can get an iPad Pro for that much" This is designed primarily for taking notes, if you can't justify the price then it's up to you. I do like it and I don't consider it to be too expensive. One trip to a good restaurant for 2 people costs that much. You want email? Get an iPad. You want to read ebooks? Get a Kindle. This device has a very specific purpose, it mainly does only one thing and instead of being Jack of all trades it is a master of one.
Very interesting... not surprising that it is sooo expensive as it has been developed in Norway. Given relatively low functionality, as it is essentially replacing a note book and a kindle, price is definitely high. Also, would be great if it was available through stores as I personally like to test drive... touch, feel, see in my hands helps to convince whether it is right for me. I gather you have a lot of other folk -my age- who will wait to see it in shops...
Do people not realize that this is NOT supposed to compete with tablets such as iPad etc? It’s in a completely different category. The point is to NOT have notifications and web browsing and apps. It’s not supposed to distract you with those things, it’s just supposed to be digital paper. Yes, it’s quite expensive. It’s first generation. It will get cheaper and it will improve.
Billy Bob I think there could be a huge market for this. As a student, I burned through 750 pages of notebook in one trimester. Now, this product is not an ideal end goal yet that I would consider worth buying, but if it were improved all around I would very highly consider it for its storage space not being paper and weight/space saving plus the writing to text/sharing feature.
It will get cheaper and better if they sucker enough to pay $$$ for this substandard product. Investing into a sinking ship is not good business practice.
The writing aspects are for me all I care about. My sister is a student she has about a gigabyte of pdfs. Academic excerpts and such. She needs to be able to write notes and highlight. What I'mcurious about is how the pdfs are effected. Can you export the annotated pdfs?
Are there any rumors of Amazon working on a similar device? I really want this, but I'm going to wait for at least one more generation/iteration. It doesn't have far to go before it'll be amazing essential.
Yes a little pricey. There is a way to get it way cheaper (see my other comment) I love it so far. I just got it a week ago. The new updates with the writing to text feature is very good even with my bad handwriting. It's surprisingly accurate. It takes time to get used to some quirks (pencil/pen defaults when you go to a new notebook or folder). Once I got used to the way to organize with folders, move files, and the menu options, it's quite good. It's not for everyone, but I think it helps me in being organized and productive.
Emilio Trenzado thanks for your review. I have a question. All I wish to do is write. Maybe a novel. Is it possible to convert the text to an editable file like word or PDF?
Courtney D while I think the writing to text is good. I think it would be a nightmare for editing unless you have someone going over the conversion on a regular basis. You will be able to send it to pdf no problem but for many pages there will probably be a lot of errors. For a page or 2 of notes at a time it’s fine.
Emilio Trenzado mmmm. Thanks. This may not be the best for me then. Lol. I'm essentially looking for a digital journal. I just want to write and send it to an editable file, a PDF. Guess I need to keep looking.
Courtney D you never know. You have 30 days to try. I think the writing to text is good but after hundreds of pages of converted text you might need to have a lot of editing. If you do want to try, remember to use a referral code. I have one if you can't find it but I think I posted it on this video in the comments. Good luck on the book.
If you make sketches, how are they saved? How do you transfer the files - with USB I guess. No wifi/bluetooth? The sketches - what fileformat are they saved as? SVG or an Pixelformat?
I remember when some of the very first LCDs came out in the 80's for clunktops. In every way I can see that eInk tech will take a forefront in future display purposes. Once all latency issues are solved and the color variants become implemented it will be a serious game changer for countless applications. And because the display isn't using power once the page is 'painted' we will see devices with crazy battery life. This device on its own is a huge leap for the industry. I can't wait to see what will be around the corner, but now the cost to market is still too much for the average enthusiast. I've been watching this new product for a while now - SO THANKS A BUNCH FOR THE REVIEW. In the same way that LCD to MOLED has evolved, we can expect the same at even a faster rate for this as well. When you can watch 60 frames a second in color - oh wow I can't wait. And just think what that will look like on smart phones, watches, car dashboards, etc...
There's a company called ClearInk which uses a slightly different technology and they are about to release a color version which can also display animations. There technology also solves the price problem. The panels can be manufactured in standard LCD producing factory with little modification. There is also no need of the backlight so it should be even cheaper - but the manufacturer said either the same price or cheaper. Also it wont be difficult for them to produce different sizes. There will be some products on the market next year
On Smartphones and so I think they would be best suited as a secondary display as opposed to a primary one. Just nothing is going to beat current modern OLED displays for colour, response times and contrast ratio. Though for most use we don't need such an amazing display. What they will be useful for is replacing the useless always-on-display feature that's really just a battery sucking and device lifetime shortening feature that'll be useful only to people that leave their phones lying around and that don't own a simple wrist watch. The usefulness comes in for hikers or when you have to go to any area where a charger isn't available and then your battery could last week's if the software is properly implemented. Which it is not, Android is a damn wasteful mess at the moment.
you can crop pdf in your laptop, you can get two 10 inches (3/4) pdf pages on the sony in landscape orientation, no contest here, for 100$ less than a sony, i believe that a sony is a better value, thanks for the excellent videos
I am an iPad fan and Mac user for ages. The quick response to this is, that I can use different Writing Apps on a mini iPad, or full iPad,of which I can find myriads of examples to choose from with different features and choices of complexity....with an IPad you can always write with your finger if you wish. I’m not sure it is addressed here, but the software would be static. I could use one, but my price for it to be a challenger for an iPad would be $150. Not $500 or $400 as I saw thins month, June 2019. I wonder if it can accept a BT Keyboard. I liked that it has a USB interface, but is it to charge or to transfer the documents. No word on how to transfer to document and to where. PDF is not the write tool if you want to sketch and then transfer the sketches to another application, say to a. IPad...very interested on this new gadget to sketch and write, but not at current price.
I've seen one and tried writing on it. I'd like to have one, as I enjoy writing by hand, and it seems very practical, but the price needs to drop at least 50% before I can afford it.
I was quite surprised to find that you cannot move pages around in one notebook.. also the copy feature is really not working for me: I press the plus sign after selecting but then no way of copying what I selected
so much negativity here. i actually own one. after the usual phase of getting used to the device i really like it. yes it is basically a really expensive note taking device. no backlight... just like a block of paper. for years i wrote down all my ideas on several blocks of paper. now i have one. and done. no more looking for the right block to find a particular idea. do not buy this if you want anything else but that. for everything else there are cheaper versions.
Yeah I own it too and while it seems very counterintuitive to buy something that's more expensive than an iPad or something but does less I'm way more productive and way more organized due to the lack of internet -- plus, it feels like I'm actually writing ON PAPER -- important for a luddite like me
I just got the mine, I was part of the first batch. First impression are quite incredible - it does exactly what they claim it would do, and I'm already content. Any extra features and updates will just be bonus.
Can this use kindle books and download from the kindle store? Does it have e ink , and no backlighting and no front lighting ? Completely natural reading as off of paper? Can it increase font size?
Thank you for the video!! I ordered remarkable in February however I discovered just on Saturday that the tips erase very quickly and on remarkable website this was not explained.... I would like to know if there is a stylus pen which can be used with remarkable and that does not have this problem and, if so, where it can be bought. In addition could you please make a video where you explain the differences between active pen and stylus passive pen for e-ink displays? thanks in advance
Might consider a second or third generation when theyve ironed out the problems. I would really like to see it write, mark and draw in real time. Is it asking too much?
this might be a stupid question, but does it always have to be connected to the internet in order to save things that you work on, like a chromebook? or a cloud . Or can you choose when to upload and where to save it.
I'm considering buying this for my father who writes in farsi (and arabic). Can he transform his handwriting to farsi text like shown with english in the video?
First of all, this is incredibly useful! thank you for all the time you put into it! I am looking at this for use as a student. I want to view PDFs and textbooks as well as take notes and such. I am wondering whether the remarkable will be able to connect to my wifi network at school. It is a campus wide network that is called edu roam. It requires more than just a password to sign in for the first time. Do you know if remarkable would work with it? Second, if I mark a PDF will it keep the notes and highlights i made on the remarkable on the PDF? I've seen that it does when using live mode but will update otherwise? Thank you so much!!
This is mainly for PDFs and textbooks. Reading those on eink is much better than on a tablet, not to mention you won't need a charger in weeks, some cases a month; good luck getting two full days of battery on an iPad if you take notes and read a lot
It's all about tradeoffs, and you're trading video, browsing, email, a ton of app support, camera, audio notes, colour, for e-ink and a longer battery life??? With an iPad pro, you can take a picture of a document and start annotating it in seconds, or open an email, and sign a document and send it off. You'd be able to copy and paste text and diagrams from the internet and annotated them. Don't get me wrong I think that it's cool, but e-ink is still new tech. It's absolute lunacy to suggest that it's good utility for money. Right now you're paying to be an early adopter. This isn't a representation on the company, it's just the way new tech goes
I like how you've sidestepped most of what I've said and focused on the most irrelevant part of my post.... you're really hitting the heart of the issue. It's because you know, the tradeoffs are not worth it. I'll address your pedantic nitpick and maintain my point. e-ink is NEWER than LED display. Touchscreen e-ink is a later innovation compared normal touchscreen. You will get a lot less functionality for your money if you get e-ink touchscreen tech because you're paying to be an early adopter. Right now, you're trading video, browsing, email, a ton of app support, camera, audio notes, colour, for e-ink and a longer battery life???

Great, well balanced review. Thanks for making it. I would like to have known how the stylus feels on the screen. On their website, one of the selling points is that they claim that it "feels" like writing on paper. Is that true?
Can you tell me if it will just sit in the ON position until you need it? I would like it to be on my desk ready to be written on all the time. People tend to just stick their heads in my office and start listing off stuff they need and I don't want to fiddle with trying to get it awake and missing something.
Thank you for the video. I have a question about the marking in .epub : how is it possible to mark and do comments in an epub book, when you can change the size of the font there. What happens for example when you draw lines in an .epub and then change the font size. Does it remove the lines? Greetings from Germany!
Good question! Currently it just leaves the notes on the screen the same size you added no matter what the font size is, so they only line up if you have the same font size selected as when you added them.
I think the price of this is just absurd. When I saw this I thought, oh that would be a nice drawing pad for maybe $300 - MAYBE - even tho its missing a light which is absurd in 2017. Come to find out its almost $900.... No thanks. I'll just get an iPad Pro and get a much more capable tablet in literally every way.
Did you mention the weight? I might have missed it. $650 is way too much. I like the format, way better to read technical books, but I will stick with my Kindle, since for novels is better, it has a backlight and it's super cheap.
Price aside, since I'm not going to buy this. I like how responsive the pencil is, but if I wanted to buy this, it should be at least 300 ppi. Also where are the color e-ink screens that were suppose to be cheaper than the black and white ones.
By testimonials it seems that this gadget, besides being deathly expensive, is a prototype that needs at least one more iteration to be worth buying it. I will continue to wait for a large screen e-ink reader with free-hand natural-like annotation functionality and pdf edition.
great video, thank you Question though I'm reading a book, and find a passage I want to keep, can I highlight, copy it, and paste it in to a note pad app etc?
This thing's gotta' come down to about $150. I can do very similar things on my $90 Fire tablet. Admittedly, it's not as responsive but $500 annoyingly expensive.
Thank you for the review. One question can you surf the web with this kind of tablets? I just need something e-ink for newspapers cause with normal tablets I have eye strain problems headaches. I have a kobo glo hd but can't read newspapers there. Can you suggest something ? Thanks
You can't do that right now, but I believe they are planning to add that feature. It certainly has the power and capability to do it, they just haven't added the feature yet.
Mythricia In current marketing, they've stated the device is specially to avoid distractions. It's clearly aimed as being for productivity, "no other tablet has less features than reMarkable." 😄
Oh god... I love the paper feel of writing on it. But goddamn, it's gonna take forever writing notes on this with a bunch of highlighting. And so expensive.
I bought one on ebay, used about 9 months and suddenly it stoped to charge. I contact reMarkable and the answer was - because it was bought from ebay and I open the back lid they cant help me. I asked what about post warranty service but didn't get any answer. As gadget it is pretty good, but no service at all. I managed to fix it by my self, but think twice buying it.
Disassemble, made different tests and found out that capacitor that supposed to work as fuse was burned. so I could substitute it (if I would have it), but I just solder it off.
0:52 He says hardly any noticeable delay, as we clearly see the delay in the pen writing. :52 seconds in, and I already think this is a paid ad. This looks like another device I will buy used for shits and giggles for $50 in 3-4 years.
It's really good for such a device There will always be a minimal delay, but it becomes smaller and smaller over the years. Writing on an iPad Pro which has a way higher delay (double as big as this) is also still very smooth, so you won't notice. It's like with monitors: I have a 240hz monitor on my pc at home (which is sooo butter smooth). Then bought a MacBook with a 60hz built-in monitor for coding while I am in the boarding school. So it is 4 times less smooth but still useable. You just have to get used to it. I do not even notice any more So writing on real paper would be the 240hz monitor and the remarkable 1 60hz. The second generation might be 90-120hz if we compare it that way. And the iPad 30hz
Stay away from Remarkable! I emailed them to return the item for the following reasons and they DO NOT respond! 1. The battery does not last more than a day with WiFi off and light use. 2. The pen keeps stop working and should keep removing and putting back the tip. 3. Refresh rate is terrible. 4. Mobile app is completely useless (check the ratings in google play) 5. When you try to export a 10 page note to desktop you'll end up having 400+ MB of a PDF. 6. The screen is very dark and hard to read books, you'll end up preferring your PC screen. 7. Pages turn very slowly and with delays since the processor is cheap.
@@Allen-cm2pe probs should have read about eink before buying then... most of the symptons are just what eink is about. But the battery is indeed an issue.
How long it takes you to get it after you placed your order online? I just ordered it 24 hrs ago and they still didn’t send me any shipping info... ( I live in the US )

its 150 PPI tho which I would consider low.

The usefulness comes in for hikers or when you have to go to any area where a charger isn't available and then your battery could last week's if the software is properly implemented. Which it is not, Android is a damn wasteful mess at the moment.
you can crop pdf in your laptop, you can get two 10 inches (3/4) pdf pages on the sony in landscape orientation, no contest here,
for 100$ less than a sony, i believe that a sony is a better value, thanks for the excellent videos
I am an iPad fan and Mac user for ages. The quick response to this is, that I can use different Writing Apps on a mini iPad, or full iPad,of which I can find myriads of examples to choose from with different features and choices of complexity....with an IPad you can always write with your finger if you wish. I’m not sure it is addressed here, but the software would be static. I could use one, but my price for it to be a challenger for an iPad would be $150. Not $500 or $400 as I saw thins month, June 2019. I wonder if it can accept a BT Keyboard. I liked that it has a USB interface, but is it to charge or to transfer the documents. No word on how to transfer to document and to where. PDF is not the write tool if you want to sketch and then transfer the sketches to another application, say to a. IPad...very interested on this new gadget to sketch and write, but not at current price.
What if I am left handed? Can you change the position of that menu? Talking about UX....
They have a lefty mode. I asked them on instagram haha
I've seen one and tried writing on it. I'd like to have one, as I enjoy writing by hand, and it seems very practical, but the price needs to drop at least 50% before I can afford it.
It now comes with case, marker and tablet for $299 with free express shipping :)
Can you erase an e-ink display if you don't have power? Maybe using a magnet!?
A supply of tips for your stylus. Funny how things come back. Fountain pens required tip replacements, too.
I was quite surprised to find that you cannot move pages around in one notebook.. also the copy feature is really not working for me: I press the plus sign after selecting but then no way of copying what I selected
so much negativity here. i actually own one. after the usual phase of getting used to the device i really like it. yes it is basically a really expensive note taking device. no backlight... just like a block of paper. for years i wrote down all my ideas on several blocks of paper. now i have one. and done. no more looking for the right block to find a particular idea. do not buy this if you want anything else but that. for everything else there are cheaper versions.
Yeah I own it too and while it seems very counterintuitive to buy something that's more expensive than an iPad or something but does less I'm way more productive and way more organized due to the lack of internet -- plus, it feels like I'm actually writing ON PAPER -- important for a luddite like me
Moey Rojas are you able to transfer what you've written into an editable file like word or PDF file for editing?
Still waiting for them to ship the second batch... hopefully in the next few days.
Tianyi Zhang hahaha same for me .... this delay is shitty I was so sad when I got the mail announcing the 4 week delay ...
I'm still waiting and I was in the first batch.
I was first batch, got mine today (Norway). First impressions are great.
Me too, still waiting although from the first batch, please tell us if got yours
I just got the mine, I was part of the first batch. First impression are quite incredible - it does exactly what they claim it would do, and I'm already content. Any extra features and updates will just be bonus.
I just checked the specs on the website, I think it only has 1000 levels of pressure, not over 2000 like you said
Remarkable review too! Thanks for this almost complete job Sir. It's instructive, exciting and terribly helpful.
Can this use kindle books and download from the kindle store?
Does it have e ink , and no backlighting and no front lighting ? Completely natural reading as off of paper?
Can it increase font size?
Abc 123 on their FAQ they say they can't use kindle books
Thank you for the video!!
I ordered remarkable in February however I discovered just on Saturday that the tips erase very quickly and on remarkable website this was not explained.... I would like to know if there is a stylus pen which can be used with remarkable and that does not have this problem and, if so, where it can be bought. In addition could you please make a video where you explain the differences between active pen and stylus passive pen for e-ink displays?
thanks in advance
PIANOFORTEFLAUTOTRAV on the site, it tells you what you get in the box. For the tips, the give 10 replacements. Hope that helps.
Off topic, but I like your handwriting
I like the idea for college but i feel they will need to add some more before i buy one. Sd card is a must for me on all platforms.
I'd just like an e-notebook on which I can handwrite ... is there a cheaper option than this?
Might consider a second or third generation when theyve ironed out the problems. I would really like to see it write, mark and draw in real time. Is it asking too much?
this might be a stupid question, but does it always have to be connected to the internet in order to save things that you work on, like a chromebook? or a cloud . Or can you choose when to upload and where to save it.
I'm considering buying this for my father who writes in farsi (and arabic). Can he transform his handwriting to farsi text like shown with english in the video?
YESSSSSSSS BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!! THANK YOU!!!
First of all, this is incredibly useful! thank you for all the time you put into it!
I am looking at this for use as a student. I want to view PDFs and textbooks as well as take notes and such. I am wondering whether the remarkable will be able to connect to my wifi network at school. It is a campus wide network that is called edu roam. It requires more than just a password to sign in for the first time. Do you know if remarkable would work with it?
Second, if I mark a PDF will it keep the notes and highlights i made on the remarkable on the PDF? I've seen that it does when using live mode but will update otherwise?
Thank you so much!!
Gabe Lobet check the Sony Dpts1. I think it's better for PDFs and textbooks.
sql-lover yeah I looked at it but looks like it doesn't take as good notes? Idk maybe not
Gabe Lobet it does, I own one. Have over of 100 IT related books with notes
Can you put the interface to the right? Im lefthandet
For $599, I'll just get an ipad pro
And iPad is remarkable truly!
This is mainly for PDFs and textbooks. Reading those on eink is much better than on a tablet, not to mention you won't need a charger in weeks, some cases a month; good luck getting two full days of battery on an iPad if you take notes and read a lot
It's all about tradeoffs, and you're trading video, browsing, email, a ton of app support, camera, audio notes, colour, for e-ink and a longer battery life??? With an iPad pro, you can take a picture of a document and start annotating it in seconds, or open an email, and sign a document and send it off. You'd be able to copy and paste text and diagrams from the internet and annotated them. Don't get me wrong I think that it's cool, but e-ink is still new tech. It's absolute lunacy to suggest that it's good utility for money. Right now you're paying to be an early adopter. This isn't a representation on the company, it's just the way new tech goes
maxwell flitton eink is NOT new tech and Amazon has been making millions with it for 10 years now
I like how you've sidestepped most of what I've said and focused on the most irrelevant part of my post.... you're really hitting the heart of the issue. It's because you know, the tradeoffs are not worth it. I'll address your pedantic nitpick and maintain my point. e-ink is NEWER than LED display. Touchscreen e-ink is a later innovation compared normal touchscreen. You will get a lot less functionality for your money if you get e-ink touchscreen tech because you're paying to be an early adopter. Right now, you're trading video, browsing, email, a ton of app support, camera, audio notes, colour, for e-ink and a longer battery life??? With an iPad pro, you can take a picture of a document and start annotating it in seconds, or open an email, and sign a document and send it off. You'd be able to copy and paste text and diagrams from the internet and annotated them.
Great, well balanced review. Thanks for making it. I would like to have known how the stylus feels on the screen. On their website, one of the selling points is that they claim that it "feels" like writing on paper. Is that true?
Kind of but it has more of a slick feel than paper. To me the Sony DPT-RP1 feels more like writing on paper because the screen has more texture to it.
Can you tell me if it will just sit in the ON position until you need it? I would like it to be on my desk ready to be written on all the time. People tend to just stick their heads in my office and start listing off stuff they need and I don't want to fiddle with trying to get it awake and missing something.
No, it doesn't have a way to disable sleep, but the Onyx N96 does. See review here: th-cam.com/video/rM3hTzA65NU/w-d-xo.html
The backround looks pretty grey. How is the reading experience?
Thank you for the video. I have a question about the marking in .epub : how is it possible to mark and do comments in an epub book, when you can change the size of the font there. What happens for example when you draw lines in an .epub and then change the font size. Does it remove the lines? Greetings from Germany!
Good question! Currently it just leaves the notes on the screen the same size you added no matter what the font size is, so they only line up if you have the same font size selected as when you added them.
Would it fully substitute a notebook?
I think the price of this is just absurd. When I saw this I thought, oh that would be a nice drawing pad for maybe $300 - MAYBE - even tho its missing a light which is absurd in 2017. Come to find out its almost $900.... No thanks. I'll just get an iPad Pro and get a much more capable tablet in literally every way.
Where I can buy still remarkable 1s? On the remarkable homepage I see only 2!
The tips only last a few weeks?! How does that work? Do they break or...?
Did you mention the weight? I might have missed it. $650 is way too much. I like the format, way better to read technical books, but I will stick with my Kindle, since for novels is better, it has a backlight and it's super cheap.
black and white ONLY ??
If i receive an pdf file over email and want to write on it, how can i transfer it to the tablet? Sorry if i missed that in the video.
Does it work on black and white only? No color?
Great vid. what's the frequency of replacing marker tips ?
4-7 weeks
@@chasewilliams5628 you likin the device so far?
When there are upgrades, will they be loadable on the tablet I have or would you have to purchase a new one????
is there any colour like pink blue green ...
Price aside, since I'm not going to buy this. I like how responsive the pencil is, but if I wanted to buy this, it should be at least 300 ppi. Also where are the color e-ink screens that were suppose to be cheaper than the black and white ones.
By testimonials it seems that this gadget, besides being deathly expensive, is a prototype that needs at least one more iteration to be worth buying it. I will continue to wait for a large screen e-ink reader with free-hand natural-like annotation functionality and pdf edition.
Wish you had discussed file compatibility and transfer software... :-/
great video, thank you
Question though I'm reading a book, and find a passage I want to keep, can I highlight, copy it, and paste it in to a note pad app etc?
I think you can do that on the new device coming out in August (or already in the Software patch, idk)
I want to draw on the bottom but on top I need to insert a photo /picture from my files ... would I be able to do that ?
Does it update automatically? Or do you have to just buy a new one?
My main question: Can I write on it? Of course I can, but is it like actually writing on paper?
I would go for a paper tablet if they supported coloured note taking. Since they don't I'll go for a regular tablet at the expense of the paper feel.
joaofbravo there are matte screen covers for iPad that mimic the paper feel
This thing's gotta' come down to about $150. I can do very similar things on my $90 Fire tablet. Admittedly, it's not as responsive but $500 annoyingly expensive.
Does it copy a book or some books?
Is the screen illuminated? Like the Kindle paperwhite? Thanks
No light.
The eBook Reader thank u
Can we able to record screen or yake screenshot
And if possible to record screen is it possible to add audio?
Nice but... very dark background and very expensive. For when the color E Ink? 2100?
to sit neatly on a desk, wouldn't it be better to plug in from the top? 🤔
Do we get google services, like google note, Docs or drive?
just a last question: are bluetooth keyboards allowed inputs?
It does't have Bluetooth.
Thank you for the review. One question can you surf the web with this kind of tablets? I just need something e-ink for newspapers cause with normal tablets I have eye strain problems headaches. I have a kobo glo hd but can't read newspapers there. Can you suggest something ? Thanks
You can't do that right now, but I believe they are planning to add that feature. It certainly has the power and capability to do it, they just haven't added the feature yet.
Check out onyx boox though the browser is really basic.
Mythricia In current marketing, they've stated the device is specially to avoid distractions. It's clearly aimed as being for productivity, "no other tablet has less features than reMarkable." 😄
Can I screencast the live writings?
You know what, ill just get the ipad pro for christmas.
Oh god... I love the paper feel of writing on it. But goddamn, it's gonna take forever writing notes on this with a bunch of highlighting. And so expensive.
If it gets any cheaper I will probably buy it, until then I'll just gaze at it with hopeful eyes
I think there's a thing where its 499 for a while
Is there also a mode with plane sheets of paper with lines on it that you can write?
Yeah, there are a bunch of templates. Also, for those interested the Remarkable is on sale today only (11/17) for $419 at Amazon: amzn.to/2DH2gII
when using the stylus, does it have palm rejection?
Yes, of course. Just like any Wacom tablet. This is not like an android or iOS device - it is fundamentally more like a Wacom tablet.
Any music writing paper?
Yes. For both guitar and piano
Does the remarkable has like 3G or 4G connection. im thinkin about buying one and would really like to use it on the train.
no, but it connects to wifi
can you save your notes, and transfer them to the pc?
GnaReffotsirk yes you can to PDF/PNG
Best purchase ever
Can you switch the options to the other side, for left handed use?
Yes.
I bought one on ebay, used about 9 months and suddenly it stoped to charge. I contact reMarkable and the answer was - because it was bought from ebay and I open the back lid they cant help me. I asked what about post warranty service but didn't get any answer. As gadget it is pretty good, but no service at all. I managed to fix it by my self, but think twice buying it.
Disassemble, made different tests and found out that capacitor that supposed to work as fuse was burned. so I could substitute it (if I would have it), but I just solder it off.
Your voice sorumda like dream
0:52 He says hardly any noticeable delay, as we clearly see the delay in the pen writing. :52 seconds in, and I already think this is a paid ad. This looks like another device I will buy used for shits and giggles for $50 in 3-4 years.
It's really good for such a device
There will always be a minimal delay, but it becomes smaller and smaller over the years.
Writing on an iPad Pro which has a way higher delay (double as big as this) is also still very smooth, so you won't notice.
It's like with monitors: I have a 240hz monitor on my pc at home (which is sooo butter smooth). Then bought a MacBook with a 60hz built-in monitor for coding while I am in the boarding school. So it is 4 times less smooth but still useable. You just have to get used to it. I do not even notice any more
So writing on real paper would be the 240hz monitor and the remarkable 1 60hz. The second generation might be 90-120hz if we compare it that way. And the iPad 30hz
Stay away from Remarkable!
I emailed them to return the item for the following reasons and they DO NOT respond!
1. The battery does not last more than a day with WiFi off and light use.
2. The pen keeps stop working and should keep removing and putting back the tip.
3. Refresh rate is terrible.
4. Mobile app is completely useless (check the ratings in google play)
5. When you try to export a 10 page note to desktop you'll end up having 400+ MB of a PDF.
6. The screen is very dark and hard to read books, you'll end up preferring your PC screen.
7. Pages turn very slowly and with delays since the processor is cheap.
your writing has taken my attention but i have a offer :) i can buy it from you if you are ok :) just mail me abdullahcaldir@hotmail.com
Hi did you get any feedback from them and how long did it take ? I'm having problems myself with the delivery.
Yes they finally replied offering exchange or refund.
@@Allen-cm2pe probs should have read about eink before buying then... most of the symptons are just what eink is about. But the battery is indeed an issue.
Thank you for this review
How long it takes you to get it after you placed your order online? I just ordered it 24 hrs ago and they still didn’t send me any shipping info... ( I live in the US )
I can’t wait to try it by myself !!
Got mine last Friday. It works good!
Background is still too dark without light. E ink must improve even a lot.
what doesn't make sense is that the new ipad just went on sale for $250...
I would get this for uni, if it would around 400, and with at least some colors, scientific notes, graphs, needs color
No other colors?
