Hahaha. I would consider buying it for 200€. I mean it doesn't have cameras, high pixel density screen, top of the line processor(doesn't need it). What's the reason for costing so much???
Exactly what I was thinking. It’s nothing more than a guy reading corporate bs in front of a camera at his point. Absolutely no value in this video, just a waste of time.
@@ankshiousdoes it though. Imagine every note you take is preserved. For ever. It’s worth it for me. But it should have had a fingerprint sensor to allow protection. Also some form of find my to allow it to be tracked. Still half baked. Needs these. If you are aiming to keep your notebooks forever it’s amazing. But - what’s the point if it’s lost and accessed.
Bro these are legit. Picked one up my junior year of college & it’s a huge help. I don’t take anything w/ me but this to class. Have all of my classes in separate folders and can label notes & see them very easy (finding what I need). Maybe it’s a tool for the right person, but I have throughly enjoyed the experience. I was going to buy an iPad but this forsure allows me to focus more than that would. Writing experience is A1 too. Just a real review from a real guy that had some experience w this gadget lol.
They also cut between each touch of the pen on the screen for some reason. Threes some thing really amiss with this video, like the product is really laggy but they've cut it out...
Wild tech these days. The blinking and flashing of the lines would drive me nuts. And the operating system looks laggy, like my grandma's desktop computer from 2003 that takes 11 minutes to boot up.
My husband received one of the older versions as a gift from work and he LOVES it - he is an engineer and is able to annotate, load PDF images and sketches. I wanted one so bad. However, at this price point I just couldn't. Bought a Rocket Book instead for $20. If I am going to spend that kind of money I would rather buy a high end tablet that can handle more processing.
As well as go online to do research or homework on a project find out what something means or actual rhetorical prices for materials. I can see where this tech would be more suited for just not the every day guy/gal.
Power user here. I have been using the R2 x 3yrs in hospital setting. Working 12h shifts. The device is very useful for me. No distractions at all. Battery life is impressive. Able to save so far more than 2 thousand notebooks, PDF files, etc. suuuuper lightweight. Easy to take notes on the go. Every other eeek someone will approach me and be exited ( more than an ipad lol)
Some of these comments are why these devices should be sent to eink influencers rather than general tech. If you can’t see the benefits of using eink over an iPad for writing and reading, then don’t bother watching a video on an eink device.
the problem is the price. obviously it has functional uses, it’s just way too expensive to justify using it over a cheaper tablet, or even just a plain notebook. just because something has benefits does not mean those benefits are worth it to everyone. if it’s worth it to you, cool, spend the $650, but don’t act like the people with criticisms of the product are dumb and simply “cant see the benefits”.
Your computer, phone, and laptop all have modes in which you can set so you don't receive any notifications to stop distracting you. So if you can't focus that way then you won't keep your phone in your pocket while using this device. I understand not everyone is the same but that's just my personal opinion.

Man, I totally get the hype around tech gadgets like the Remarkable Pro. They look sleek and give you that temporary boost of excitement, like you just unlocked a productivity cheat code. But let’s be real, it’s just another form of procrastination. We tell ourselves this new tool will make us more productive, but after a month, it’s just another thing we get used to-classic hedonic treadmill. At the end of the day, it’s not the $600 device that’s going to do the work for us, it’s just putting in the time. Gotta resist the mental trap!
Same here! Remarkable 2 has been awesome! I use it all the time. An endless supply of paper as well as the ability to file in folders. Great use for college. The ability to store in Google docs for offline backup as well to share. I also telework so it saves on the amount of paper I have to use. Great to use for Adobe files where I need to complete forms. No longer need to print forms.
Seems to me it's just an unboxing...NOT a proper "review". And...perhaps the use case was so simple that the guy didn't feel a further in-depth was necessary. Maybe.
My significant other gifted me this and at first I was like meh. But after giving it some time, I was truly amazed at what it could do! No other device out there could match the comfort and use cases I had for it. This device was very versatile as I could use it as a chopping board for my onions, book end for my cabinet, and to help prop up my ipad pro when in use.
I hate that I have to one without color. sign and the reading light would help. THis already seems like a true upgrade and we are one minute in the video.
They cut out a lot of the actual problems I was looking for in regards to the new edition being the response time for things apart from writing. Obviously I wanted color implemented in the tablet, but there still seems to be a disparity within text problems and button delays (You can see this cut at 6:14). I was also hoping for shape making tools such as making perfect circles, rectangles, squares, dashed lines etc for better note taking. The update seems to only be about color over all and to me seems not worth the $600 for a new edition, let alone an extra $200 atop the previous installment. I was waiting for a new tablet, but hoping for much more
I bought the remarkable original and it broke on me twice. I use my iPad to write. Simply bought a matte screen protector to get the writing feel. It’s the best decision I’ve made to date.
I had the R2 and returned it. There were just a few too many things that I didn’t like about it. The writing experience is definitely satisfying. The price point, even for the 2, is just absolutely ridiculous. It was $475 for the 2 with the marker plus. I also didn’t like the way PDF files uploaded to the tablet. I’m in nursing school and there are multiple packets of information for exams that we need to know. Uploading them to the tablet #1 is not the easiest experience. You have to have a separate device to go into your remarkable account on a browser, then download the file in an e-reader format, and then upload it on the website. When you do get it uploaded, it just doesn’t look right. Some of the pages are fine and then out of nowhere, you will come across a page that only has like one word on it. I’m not sure if there is a work around to this to make it stop, but it’s just things like that that bug me. With the Remarkable Paper Pro, it looks good on advertisements and watching people use them on videos and all that, but I don’t think that adding color is something that would make me, personally, want to pay the extra $300 difference between it and the 2. I would rather just find me a really nice writing pen and a notebook of paper to take notes on for school. If you have the money to waste on this, it might be worth giving a try, however. Maybe you’re someone that likes things like this. I thought I would like it but it ended up having a lot of drawbacks that I wasn’t really willing to compromise on. The price point being the biggest. If you are on a budget, but think that something like this would help you and you’re willing to break your budget for it, the good news is that almost anywhere you purchase it from will let you return it for a full refund, usually within 14 days of purchase. That’s what I done. I bought it, used it for about a week and a half, which was plenty of time for me to decide if it was something I would use long term every day. It wasn’t, so I returned it. Hope this helps anyone that is wanting one but is undecided.
Just ordered mine the other day. I've always hated writing on my iPad with the Paperlike screen protector. In no way does it feel like paper IMO. But one of my classmates had one of these and the second I started writing it felt 5-10x better than my iPad. Probably going to get rid of the iPad and buy the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 so I'll have a full functioning laptop replacement / tablet. I feel like that setup with the Remarkable Paper Pro is the best setup for students. But I know all the Apple users will stick with MacBooks and iPads.
I've owned and used a Remarkable 2 for about 3 years after buying one used on eBay. It's somehow become one of my all time favorite tech purchases, so now that the battery isn't working as well I went out and bought the RM Pro. It's a great device just like it's predecessor even though it's definitely a bit overpriced. It's not for everyone, but I love e-Ink notepads.
I’ve had my remarkable 2 for a week now and despite of me feeling guilty having paid that much money I am truly impressed by this thing. I love the simple, elegant design and the impressive technology. It motivates me to keep sketching, organising and planning my days and weeks. I use it as diary as well and it allows me to send a page by email if I want to share something. Plus I can synchronise it over the app on my iphone and macbook which is cool. I wouldn‘t buy the folio type though because the RM2 just isn‘t made yet to really give a benefit with the use of a keyboard. Not for that price 😅
This product is not designed to be for everyone Not an iPad replacement, not for budget students This is niche for heavy note takers that would benefit from having their notes centralized. I have an R2 and ordered a paper pro. I used to have stacks of legal sized notepads and go through them at a one pad/week rate. For someone like me that uses this everyday for work and expressing ideas with clients, it pays for itself in productivity. I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone if the benefits do not outweigh the cost
@@sleepnaught Everyone has different preferences to work, i had an ipad but found the option of always being 1 swipe away from socials and other apps too distracting. Yes, i could get something to block those apps but then id just be fighting the urge to unblock. Having a device which literally gives me no option to do anything other than work with the centralised convenience of a digital device is worth the money for me, for someone with a better ability to focus - probably not.
ipads are horrible for note taking. i have the 13 inch ipad pro and a remarkable 2. after getting the remarkable, the ipad lives in a drawer but the remarkable is used every day.

As a techie I am always interested in new gear and new ideas and glad they did this. For me personally I like paper and pen. The price point does seem a bit much and while I understand making a profit, I also feel like this is a bit more expensive than it needs to be.
I bought a writing tablet a couple years ago and really like the concept. There is one huge issue that all of these companies keep ignoring, which is the reason I don't still use mine. I am in sales and often times will have copies of either handouts or reports for my accounts. I like to only have my padfolio with me when possible, and remarkable or any of their competitors don't make a compatible padfolio with pockets of other documents. So, I would be making calls with my old padfolio and an addition tablet. Completely defeated the purpose. If they would creat a padfolio for this new remarkable, I will buy myself one for christmass.
I tested the original model. The software was simply too slow for the price point. The biggest error I made was not double-checking to see if there were any DHL Service Points in my area where I could return it. I ended up traveling 166 miles (267 km) north the nearest service station; there are none in my entire county.
Once you have one of these, it’s over. I’ve had one for 10 months and it’s all I use. And for people who suggest an iPad, writing on an iPad is terrible. This is legit the best writing experience you’ll ever have. And the storage, accessbility on your phone, etc., is amazing. Throw down the cash and get one.
I want to check if you are a bot or a payed comment. What are you, with no activity in your account since 2011, but commenting on videos about an expensive e-ink tablet?
Since you've had one for ten months, could you please tell me whether it's easy to change the tip of the marker plus with only one hand since I suffer from left hemiparesis? I like the product, though, but it's way too expensive. I like taking notes instead of writing because of my left hemiparesis. Hence, I might skip the type folio and if it's hard to replace the tip marker one-handed, I might skip the marker plus, too.
@@anriamaldiridwan2600 all you need to do is spend like $10 and buy a metal tip…you never need to replace it! I’ve had the same one for months. You’ll love it!
This device isn't for someone like me but it looks super useful and cool! Looks like it would be great for artists or therapists that take a ton of notes. Great review!!
I agree this is a luxury product. Like many things, you are paying for convenience with this product. I have had the reMarkable 2 for almost 2 years now, and I use it fairly often. It has amazing battery life and it really does remove distractions and replaces my paper note-taking needs, but the biggest plus for me is how available my notes are to me now. When I actually needed some paper note before, I wouldnt always find it, and just storing papers, notebooks and binders in general is a pain.
I have one question: In my opinion, the primary (and perhaps only) advantage of devices like the Remarkable over actual paper is their searchability. I currently use the Boox Note Air, but I find searching through handwritten notes to be excruciatingly slow, especially when there are a lot of notes. It seems the device doesn’t create a searchable index in the background, nor does it save the index generated after a previous search. How is the search functionality on the Remarkable?
The fact the marker still sticks on the outside past the case is mind blowing. And the fact they still don’t have the ability to put books on them easily is so mind numbing it frustrating. Love my remarkable but for the price they need to make some improvements
While the writing experience on the Remarkable Paper Pro truly mimics the feel of writing on real paper, and its battery life is outstanding, the device is unfortunately unreliable for serious, long-term use. I’ve encountered issues where entire notebooks became unreadable, rendering important notes for my exams completely inaccessible. Even worse, the customer support has been highly unresponsive and unhelpful in addressing these critical failures. In short, you risk losing your notes permanently, making this tablet unsuitable for anyone who relies on it for important work or studies.
A very expensive product indeed. For a non-paid-for oppinion, my dad has one of the OG remarkable 2. He's had that since pre-release, so 4 years now. He's had a great experience so far. As an architect and a home salesman, he used to have a bajillion notebooks storing all gis client notes, house notes, pricing, not to mention all the contracts, minutes, etc. Now he has everything in a slim as hell tablet that still feels like paper to write in (and it does really feel like paper, I'll give them props for that every day). So it's a good product if you have a good use for it!
I’m a warehouse manager and shipping manager. I bought the remarkable 2 about a year ago because I always lose notes in my notebook. With it I can look up a word and it will bring up anything with that word or phrase. I can wait to buy this, it helps me so much! If you hate tech. stop watching tech reviews!
I haven't watched this channel in a while cause i wasn't a fan of editing they started doing at one point with weird text on the screen and almost mrbeast-ish editing style, but this video was like a breath of fresh air, i'm glad they went back to the way it used to be, back when u fell in love with this channel
I think this would be really sick if they made one equal to the size of the 6th generation iPad Mini. A Remarkable Paper Pro "Mini" would be an instant buy for me personally.
He’s clearly not into this, if I was remarkable I’d want my money back. These paid reviews are so bad I wonder if they do more harm than good. Most don’t actually “get” the product and nothing rings true. Better to send them out to impartial reviewers that are actually interested in eink devices, looking forward to the first round of real reviews for this.
I agree, BUT you cant sign pdfs, you can’t export, you have tons of journals flying around your home, lots of pencils, no organization etc. It’s a shit ton of money for sure for a limited device. People who use that kind of devices want that and they don’t want to travel around with a laptop, plus iPad plus their journals and pencils. And writing on iPad is just horrendous when comparing it to „paper“ even with the paperlike. Plus all the apps and notifications. No businessman or student or whoever uses those devices wants to turn off the notifications or turn on dnd first and THEN start working. They wanna go right ahead and don’t want to get distracted. PERIOD
@@dennisk8733 ipad has business and home profiles so that shouldn't be a problem when it comes to notifications Also if you already have a laptop or ipad, I feel like I'd rather carry that and my papers since I'm not spending any extra money for the convenience If I had NOTHING, sure, the product sounds interesting. But most consumers more than likely have a computer or a tablet or a phone, so this wouldn't be worth the 600+
I think this is really useful for school and music such as band using tablets for digital music and such and you can type or write notes down also read books and what not
2000s we want smaller cell phones 2010 we want bigger cell phones 2023 we want full size tv and computer to fit in my pocket 2024 we want a device that does absolutely nothing but write. 2025 we want ink pens and paper 2027 we want smaller cell phones lol
If you are in a field where note taking and annotations of pdf and word are extremely valuable I would say go for it. As an example if you're in education everything is now digital so this device is worth it 100%.
Load a calendar PDF and you're good to go. I use a calendar planner daily with my remarkable. You can even get a linkable calendar pdf (hotlinks) with tab buttons, that you can tap on to jump to a particular section of the calendar.
I wish they had a smaller version....tablet mini size so I can put in pocket. I really don't see the point of a keyboard, spoils it's uniqueness. I am not gonna talk about price, but great product
Would have liked to hear what capabilities were included, as far as, saving as *.pdf or word files, importing and editing pdf and word files, sending documents to printer, sending as an email attachment, how do I share documents with someone that doesn't have this program, etc.. Thanks for the video, please keep them coming.. :)
My samsung galaxy note or now called the S24 ultra has a note feature built in that I can take notes on it already with all those features and it fits in my pocket
I’ve taken up the wonderful, soothing hobby of fountain pens and stationary. Got a bunch of pens, including a few nice Sailors, a Visconti and a couple of Watermans. Got a nice set of Pilot Iroshizuku inks. And nice notebooks from Rhodia, Midori and Hobonichi. And stickers and stamps. Everything cost me half of this gadget, I’m enjoying the real thing a lot.
Got one in a raffle. It's really nice but hard to recommend. It's aiming at a very small target. Works well for journaling/notes/ sketches. If you do a lot of processing writing/sketching on paper. Keeps everything organized and available in one place. No more piles of old papers and notebooks. Despite having everything you would want out of a great ebook reader this thing doesn't access any of that in a convenient way. Which is a bummer.
These are awesome….. I just think the price point is way out of line.. it’s the same price as an iPad… (I get it E-INC) great…. But in the 200-300$ range
E-ink wins over paper with better ability to edit and make changes, saving more space, ease of transporting multiple notebooks, and easier integration with other documents. Paper wins on cost, a more tactile feeling, and not having to worry about device battery drain. iPad wins over Remarkable with better integration of apps and files, and faster response time when moving between files and pages. Remarkable wins over iPad by having a screen that doesn't wear on your eyes (blue light filters aren't enough of a solution), much longer battery life, and a more satisfying writing experience.
at this price tag, and they still make the inside part fold to the outside so you pick up whatever dust and garbage from a surface which ends up on your screen everytime you take the folio out and use it. . pen and paper, problem solved.
For everyone complaining in the comments, this product is not for you. Normal pen and paper, iPad, rocket books - nothing worked for me perfectly. I absolutely love my RM1 & RM2, and they have both made a dramatic improvement with my focus while working. I am very excited to get the Pro - I was looking into the Boox Note but have been hesitant. The price is absurd - yes, but I see it as an investment in myself and career.
This company is clearly a fan of how apple is doing business. Half the budget goes into marketing and then into the product's price. It make sense that many people don't appreciate this kind of doing business. It's not that the product is not for them. It's a good product. Just heavily, stupidly overpriced and marketed as a luxury one, when the main functionality is of taking notes. Something that is obviously the main thing that students do, but the company don't give a shit to those cheap losers. So, there you have it. Complaints.
Buying a drawing pad, drawing program like paint tool SAI or an older Photoshop and a lifetime subscription to Office would be WAAAAAAY cheaper tbh. Around 500 at most compared to a grand plus subscription fees
Sounds great except the glitch with every interaction throws me off :/ sticking to my iPad Pro with a paper feel screen protector and all distractions xD
I wish they could make an A6 size one of these so I could use it while out and about working as an engineer. This would be like having to carry yet another laptop rather than a useful notepad.
I thought about buying the R2 for my girlfriend, I discovered the product a few months ago. She’s had several iPads, and use to take notes on them for work. She’s 90% remote, since she doesn’t have an iPad anymore, thought this note taking product would fill that void on her desk. But otherwise she’s probably just typing stuff up on the desktop anyways.
700$ it truly a remarkable price

then you still didnt figure it out that, this kind of device is helping you to take care of your eyes and still being digitally productive.
Same here! Remarkable 2 has been awesome! I use it all the time. An endless supply of paper as well as the ability to file in folders. Great use for college. The ability to store in Google docs for offline backup as well to share. I also telework so it saves on the amount of paper I have to use. Great to use for Adobe files where I need to complete forms. No longer need to print forms.
@arzelzon1137 a 1$ notebook from Walmart does the same thing. For about 699 less dollars.
@@xjood805 No, it really doesn't. Obviously the product is not for you.
academicreviewpro AI fixes this. ke paper, but better - reMarkable.
You can tell it's a paid review by not finding a single negative in the product
Seems to me it's just an unboxing...NOT a proper "review". And...perhaps the use case was so simple that the guy didn't feel a further in-depth was necessary. Maybe.
It's not a review it's an unboxing showcase
It was a paid review when he had to cut to the next part because the screen loading time was too long lol 🤣
My significant other gifted me this and at first I was like meh. But after giving it some time, I was truly amazed at what it could do! No other device out there could match the comfort and use cases I had for it. This device was very versatile as I could use it as a chopping board for my onions, book end for my cabinet, and to help prop up my ipad pro when in use.
I hate that I have to one without color. sign and the reading light would help. THis already seems like a true upgrade and we are one minute in the video.
They cut out a lot of the actual problems I was looking for in regards to the new edition being the response time for things apart from writing. Obviously I wanted color implemented in the tablet, but there still seems to be a disparity within text problems and button delays (You can see this cut at 6:14). I was also hoping for shape making tools such as making perfect circles, rectangles, squares, dashed lines etc for better note taking. The update seems to only be about color over all and to me seems not worth the $600 for a new edition, let alone an extra $200 atop the previous installment. I was waiting for a new tablet, but hoping for much more
Came to look for the lag/delay in writing as well. Looks like it's still got a lag.
Important point to note: you can tag notes with keywords and search them using tags later.
Cannot do that on Regular paper.
A single use device like this costing $700 is absolutely WILD! HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
I wouldn’t pay over $99 for this, WITH keyboard case and pen.
I bought the remarkable original and it broke on me twice. I use my iPad to write. Simply bought a matte screen protector to get the writing feel. It’s the best decision I’ve made to date.
I had the R2 and returned it. There were just a few too many things that I didn’t like about it. The writing experience is definitely satisfying. The price point, even for the 2, is just absolutely ridiculous. It was $475 for the 2 with the marker plus. I also didn’t like the way PDF files uploaded to the tablet. I’m in nursing school and there are multiple packets of information for exams that we need to know. Uploading them to the tablet #1 is not the easiest experience. You have to have a separate device to go into your remarkable account on a browser, then download the file in an e-reader format, and then upload it on the website. When you do get it uploaded, it just doesn’t look right. Some of the pages are fine and then out of nowhere, you will come across a page that only has like one word on it. I’m not sure if there is a work around to this to make it stop, but it’s just things like that that bug me. With the Remarkable Paper Pro, it looks good on advertisements and watching people use them on videos and all that, but I don’t think that adding color is something that would make me, personally, want to pay the extra $300 difference between it and the 2. I would rather just find me a really nice writing pen and a notebook of paper to take notes on for school. If you have the money to waste on this, it might be worth giving a try, however. Maybe you’re someone that likes things like this. I thought I would like it but it ended up having a lot of drawbacks that I wasn’t really willing to compromise on. The price point being the biggest. If you are on a budget, but think that something like this would help you and you’re willing to break your budget for it, the good news is that almost anywhere you purchase it from will let you return it for a full refund, usually within 14 days of purchase. That’s what I done. I bought it, used it for about a week and a half, which was plenty of time for me to decide if it was something I would use long term every day. It wasn’t, so I returned it. Hope this helps anyone that is wanting one but is undecided.
That helps, thanks.
Just ordered mine the other day. I've always hated writing on my iPad with the Paperlike screen protector. In no way does it feel like paper IMO. But one of my classmates had one of these and the second I started writing it felt 5-10x better than my iPad. Probably going to get rid of the iPad and buy the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 so I'll have a full functioning laptop replacement / tablet. I feel like that setup with the Remarkable Paper Pro is the best setup for students. But I know all the Apple users will stick with MacBooks and iPads.
I've owned and used a Remarkable 2 for about 3 years after buying one used on eBay. It's somehow become one of my all time favorite tech purchases, so now that the battery isn't working as well I went out and bought the RM Pro. It's a great device just like it's predecessor even though it's definitely a bit overpriced. It's not for everyone, but I love e-Ink notepads.
I’ve had my remarkable 2 for a week now and despite of me feeling guilty having paid that much money I am truly impressed by this thing. I love the simple, elegant design and the impressive technology. It motivates me to keep sketching, organising and planning my days and weeks. I use it as diary as well and it allows me to send a page by email if I want to share something. Plus I can synchronise it over the app on my iphone and macbook which is cool. I wouldn‘t buy the folio type though because the RM2 just isn‘t made yet to really give a benefit with the use of a keyboard. Not for that price 😅
This product is not designed to be for everyone
Not an iPad replacement, not for budget students
This is niche for heavy note takers that would benefit from having their notes centralized.
I have an R2 and ordered a paper pro. I used to have stacks of legal sized notepads and go through them at a one pad/week rate.
For someone like me that uses this everyday for work and expressing ideas with clients, it pays for itself in productivity.
I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone if the benefits do not outweigh the cost
Why not just get an iPad? You can't even cloud save your notes with the device without a monthly subscription. No collaborative options either.
@@sleepnaught Everyone has different preferences to work, i had an ipad but found the option of always being 1 swipe away from socials and other apps too distracting. Yes, i could get something to block those apps but then id just be fighting the urge to unblock. Having a device which literally gives me no option to do anything other than work with the centralised convenience of a digital device is worth the money for me, for someone with a better ability to focus - probably not.
ipads are horrible for note taking. i have the 13 inch ipad pro and a remarkable 2. after getting the remarkable, the ipad lives in a drawer but the remarkable is used every day.

As a techie I am always interested in new gear and new ideas and glad they did this. For me personally I like paper and pen. The price point does seem a bit much and while I understand making a profit, I also feel like this is a bit more expensive than it needs to be.
Ive had my RM2 for 3 years and love it along with the pen and keyboard. use it every day. Ill def get this once that one runs its life.
I bought a writing tablet a couple years ago and really like the concept. There is one huge issue that all of these companies keep ignoring, which is the reason I don't still use mine. I am in sales and often times will have copies of either handouts or reports for my accounts. I like to only have my padfolio with me when possible, and remarkable or any of their competitors don't make a compatible padfolio with pockets of other documents. So, I would be making calls with my old padfolio and an addition tablet. Completely defeated the purpose. If they would creat a padfolio for this new remarkable, I will buy myself one for christmass.
There are some custom ones on etsy, not for this device specifically - at least yet. Or you can order some customized one elsewhere.
I tested the original model. The software was simply too slow for the price point. The biggest error I made was not double-checking to see if there were any DHL Service Points in my area where I could return it. I ended up traveling 166 miles (267 km) north the nearest service station; there are none in my entire county.
I use my remarkable 2 almost everyday. I was looking at this one because of the color feature so you convinced me to get it 😂
Once you have one of these, it’s over. I’ve had one for 10 months and it’s all I use. And for people who suggest an iPad, writing on an iPad is terrible. This is legit the best writing experience you’ll ever have. And the storage, accessbility on your phone, etc., is amazing. Throw down the cash and get one.
I want to check if you are a bot or a payed comment. What are you, with no activity in your account since 2011, but commenting on videos about an expensive e-ink tablet?
Since you've had one for ten months, could you please tell me whether it's easy to change the tip of the marker plus with only one hand since I suffer from left hemiparesis? I like the product, though, but it's way too expensive. I like taking notes instead of writing because of my left hemiparesis. Hence, I might skip the type folio and if it's hard to replace the tip marker one-handed, I might skip the marker plus, too.
@@anriamaldiridwan2600 all you need to do is spend like $10 and buy a metal tip…you never need to replace it! I’ve had the same one for months. You’ll love it!
@@oiko2k4 Not a bot…just a very happy Remarkable user!
@@NewpsBeach22typical bot answer.
£50 - take my money

This device isn't for someone like me but it looks super useful and cool! Looks like it would be great for artists or therapists that take a ton of notes.
Great review!!
I agree this is a luxury product. Like many things, you are paying for convenience with this product. I have had the reMarkable 2 for almost 2 years now, and I use it fairly often. It has amazing battery life and it really does remove distractions and replaces my paper note-taking needs, but the biggest plus for me is how available my notes are to me now. When I actually needed some paper note before, I wouldnt always find it, and just storing papers, notebooks and binders in general is a pain.
700$ for a laggy notebook is a bit too much, this should cost around 50$ max.
😂
another hit from Advert Therapy
😂
I have one question: In my opinion, the primary (and perhaps only) advantage of devices like the Remarkable over actual paper is their searchability.
I currently use the Boox Note Air, but I find searching through handwritten notes to be excruciatingly slow, especially when there are a lot of notes. It seems the device doesn’t create a searchable index in the background, nor does it save the index generated after a previous search.
How is the search functionality on the Remarkable?
It’s possible on the laptop app
The fact the marker still sticks on the outside past the case is mind blowing. And the fact they still don’t have the ability to put books on them easily is so mind numbing it frustrating. Love my remarkable but for the price they need to make some improvements
Books!
While the writing experience on the Remarkable Paper Pro truly mimics the feel of writing on real paper, and its battery life is outstanding, the device is unfortunately unreliable for serious, long-term use. I’ve encountered issues where entire notebooks became unreadable, rendering important notes for my exams completely inaccessible. Even worse, the customer support has been highly unresponsive and unhelpful in addressing these critical failures. In short, you risk losing your notes permanently, making this tablet unsuitable for anyone who relies on it for important work or studies.
Being a Scribe, this is useful for notes: it can save many trees. However, a scribe will always be a Scribe. 🕯️📜✍🏼
I'm using the #1 daily. Still great battery life. Didn't care about the #2 but I'll get the #3.
A very expensive product indeed. For a non-paid-for oppinion, my dad has one of the OG remarkable 2. He's had that since pre-release, so 4 years now. He's had a great experience so far. As an architect and a home salesman, he used to have a bajillion notebooks storing all gis client notes, house notes, pricing, not to mention all the contracts, minutes, etc. Now he has everything in a slim as hell tablet that still feels like paper to write in (and it does really feel like paper, I'll give them props for that every day). So it's a good product if you have a good use for it!
I appreciate you helping me decide to save my money.
I’m a warehouse manager and shipping manager. I bought the remarkable 2 about a year ago because I always lose notes in my notebook. With it I can look up a word and it will bring up anything with that word or phrase.
I can wait to buy this, it helps me so much!
If you hate tech. stop watching tech reviews!
I haven't watched this channel in a while cause i wasn't a fan of editing they started doing at one point with weird text on the screen and almost mrbeast-ish editing style, but this video was like a breath of fresh air, i'm glad they went back to the way it used to be, back when u fell in love with this channel
He was really excited for this product 😂😂😂😂
Looks incredible. But I did notice a laggy interface when navigating and clicking/selecting the various items.
I think this would be really sick if they made one equal to the size of the 6th generation iPad Mini. A Remarkable Paper Pro "Mini" would be an instant buy for me personally.
He’s clearly not into this, if I was remarkable I’d want my money back. These paid reviews are so bad I wonder if they do more harm than good. Most don’t actually “get” the product and nothing rings true. Better to send them out to impartial reviewers that are actually interested in eink devices, looking forward to the first round of real reviews for this.
Can I open a size E sheet PDF, zoom into an area and then mark up the PDF?
Yes you can do that
A journal with pencils cost just 5 bucks
I agree, BUT you cant sign pdfs, you can’t export, you have tons of journals flying around your home, lots of pencils, no organization etc. It’s a shit ton of money for sure for a limited device. People who use that kind of devices want that and they don’t want to travel around with a laptop, plus iPad plus their journals and pencils. And writing on iPad is just horrendous when comparing it to „paper“ even with the paperlike. Plus all the apps and notifications. No businessman or student or whoever uses those devices wants to turn off the notifications or turn on dnd first and THEN start working. They wanna go right ahead and don’t want to get distracted. PERIOD
@@dennisk8733 ipad has business and home profiles so that shouldn't be a problem when it comes to notifications
Also if you already have a laptop or ipad, I feel like I'd rather carry that and my papers since I'm not spending any extra money for the convenience
If I had NOTHING, sure, the product sounds interesting. But most consumers more than likely have a computer or a tablet or a phone, so this wouldn't be worth the 600+
You're poor?
@@2.5k_ping56 no I'm just not someone that spends hundreds on redundant products
Don’t need wifi or software update either
I like the fact that its very responsive!
I think this is really useful for school and music such as band using tablets for digital music and such and you can type or write notes down also read books and what not
2000s we want smaller cell phones
2010 we want bigger cell phones
2023 we want full size tv and computer to fit in my pocket
2024 we want a device that does absolutely nothing but write.
2025 we want ink pens and paper
2027 we want smaller cell phones lol
Lol we have come full circle 😂😂😂
2027 is here bro
Fickle bitches, the lot of us!
If you are in a field where note taking and annotations of pdf and word are extremely valuable I would say go for it. As an example if you're in education everything is now digital so this device is worth it 100%.
I have the remarkable since few months a MUST HAVE 🎉😍
I remember when you could like, trust this channel as an actual source of tech info
I would buy this if it had a Calendar feature. Wouldn't that be a great feature to have.
Load a calendar PDF and you're good to go. I use a calendar planner daily with my remarkable. You can even get a linkable calendar pdf (hotlinks) with tab buttons, that you can tap on to jump to a particular section of the calendar.
I have a calendar on my R2, there are several places where you can buy calendars for it, but i used this site to create a calendar.
I wish they had a smaller version....tablet mini size so I can put in pocket.
I really don't see the point of a keyboard, spoils it's uniqueness.
I am not gonna talk about price, but great product
I’m still seeing stuff that my iPad Air 4th Generation does. I have a screen protector that simulates a paper-like feel when I write. Same thing.
Would have liked to hear what capabilities were included, as far as, saving as *.pdf or word files, importing and editing pdf and word files, sending documents to printer, sending as an email attachment, how do I share documents with someone that doesn't have this program, etc..
Thanks for the video, please keep them coming.. :)
i still have my remarkable 1 and genuinely love the device
I have just ordered mine.
I know one person with one. She’s a well paid teacher. But she really does seem to love it.
My samsung galaxy note or now called the S24 ultra has a note feature built in that I can take notes on it already with all those features and it fits in my pocket
600 for an A53. It's priced better than the other companies but a little more and I get the new Red Magic tablet with high end specs.
At least he's not selling infringed phone cases or a water condenser, folks.
If o could do math calculation and notation on this, I would definitely get it. Ipad is ahead of them with that for math notes
A piece of paper that I have to charge
I’ve taken up the wonderful, soothing hobby of fountain pens and stationary. Got a bunch of pens, including a few nice Sailors, a Visconti and a couple of Watermans. Got a nice set of Pilot Iroshizuku inks. And nice notebooks from Rhodia, Midori and Hobonichi. And stickers and stamps. Everything cost me half of this gadget, I’m enjoying the real thing a lot.
Thats crayz you office is that deep man!
Paper like..so satisfying 😌
Got one in a raffle. It's really nice but hard to recommend. It's aiming at a very small target. Works well for journaling/notes/ sketches. If you do a lot of processing writing/sketching on paper. Keeps everything organized and available in one place. No more piles of old papers and notebooks.
Despite having everything you would want out of a great ebook reader this thing doesn't access any of that in a convenient way. Which is a bummer.
good for ADHD too, but the Ui is verrrry slow and the highlighter is kinda glitchy
These are awesome….. I just think the price point is way out of line.. it’s the same price as an iPad… (I get it E-INC) great…. But in the 200-300$ range
I LOVE having to charge my paper 😂
E-ink wins over paper with better ability to edit and make changes, saving more space, ease of transporting multiple notebooks, and easier integration with other documents.
Paper wins on cost, a more tactile feeling, and not having to worry about device battery drain.
iPad wins over Remarkable with better integration of apps and files, and faster response time when moving between files and pages.
Remarkable wins over iPad by having a screen that doesn't wear on your eyes (blue light filters aren't enough of a solution), much longer battery life, and a more satisfying writing experience.
2:42 Who else hears the sounds before the movement? I notice that for quite a while in Unbox Therapy videos.
I do NOT undrestand this product, removing Features from tablets and calling it "removing distractions".
It's a really great product...only if the price could have been less
You can import templates such as calendars.
@@harryarriola6143 you can but calendars with note pages for like 3$ at walmart
It would probably be worth it at half the cost. No reason to get this over an iPad
at this price tag, and they still make the inside part fold to the outside so you pick up whatever dust and garbage from a surface which ends up on your screen everytime you take the folio out and use it. . pen and paper, problem solved.
One button "Focus mode" is enough 😢
i love your videos bro i even have some saved in media wallet so i could revisit it again
For everyone complaining in the comments, this product is not for you. Normal pen and paper, iPad, rocket books - nothing worked for me perfectly. I absolutely love my RM1 & RM2, and they have both made a dramatic improvement with my focus while working. I am very excited to get the Pro - I was looking into the Boox Note but have been hesitant. The price is absurd - yes, but I see it as an investment in myself and career.
This company is clearly a fan of how apple is doing business. Half the budget goes into marketing and then into the product's price. It make sense that many people don't appreciate this kind of doing business. It's not that the product is not for them. It's a good product. Just heavily, stupidly overpriced and marketed as a luxury one, when the main functionality is of taking notes. Something that is obviously the main thing that students do, but the company don't give a shit to those cheap losers. So, there you have it. Complaints.
5:29 First boot
I like the product, but that price is beyond unreasonable
This would be useful in schools if can make the layouts
i have the kindle scribe and it works well. inlike the nomad 6x 2 . more portable
Buying a drawing pad, drawing program like paint tool SAI or an older Photoshop and a lifetime subscription to Office would be WAAAAAAY cheaper tbh. Around 500 at most compared to a grand plus subscription fees
Leave us alone mate with your remarkable
I miss the old show brother.
i want this but i'm horrible at art and i would never use it
Sounds great except the glitch with every interaction throws me off :/ sticking to my iPad Pro with a paper feel screen protector and all distractions xD
I wish they could make an A6 size one of these so I could use it while out and about working as an engineer. This would be like having to carry yet another laptop rather than a useful notepad.
Better still, one that fits on the back of my iPhone - Magsafe A7.
I thought about buying the R2 for my girlfriend, I discovered the product a few months ago. She’s had several iPads, and use to take notes on them for work. She’s 90% remote, since she doesn’t have an iPad anymore, thought this note taking product would fill that void on her desk. But otherwise she’s probably just typing stuff up on the desktop anyways.
Lew will you be covering the keynote tmw?
do you know if they are coming out with a remarkable3 this year?
