Remarkably expensive: - reMarkable 2: $299 - Marker Plus: $129 (or Marker for $79) - Keyboard Folio: $199 (or Book Folio for $169) - Total: $627 + Sales Tax. Note that for $299 you do not get a pen, of any kind. You also need a Connection subscription, which is included for the first year, then $2.99/month ($36/year). I am sure this is an amazing device, but the cost is simply too high for most people. Accessories should be optional, but these ones certainly don't feel that way. It just feels like a way to keep the device price low, and then "ladder" you up to the full price.
yea unfortunately it's a small company and they need to price their products high Amazon will devour their market share with the scribe for cheaper than $200 (during sales)
the fact that the device is designed as a digital notebook to take notes in and it does not even come with the pencil is hilarious. Ditch the keyboard folio and the price is about $430, meanwhile an iPad 10th gen with Apple Pencil is $530 its a no brainer for people who are not into blowing money on nothing.
A little hack. Buy the remarkable for $299 and then the STAEDTLER Noris digital jumbo 180J 22 stylus for $35 - works the same. The case is debatable if needed. I'm loving it so far and see it worth the initial cost. Also 1 year of the Connection subscription is fine to figure out if you use it or not!
The Remarkable 2 came out 3 years ago (not new). It seems everything you pump out this days are ads. What happened to the fun light hearted vlogs and HONEST tech videos?
@@Ty921 Marques is bigger than she will ever be, has a whole team yet he doesn’t sell his opinion. When he does a review he is objective. iJustine is amused by anything with a screen and an on/off button.
I bought one a while back. Absolutely loved it. Chose it over buying an iPad. The build quality and writing feel…top notch. HOWEVER, I lost data due to the syncing on multiple occasions. I thought I had done something wrong the first time it happened. I so very badly wanted this device to work. I work in IT for a living and have a good understanding of how all this works. But when it erased some of my client notes that was the end of it. I returned it after 45 days. If they ever get that part resolved I’ll buy another one. I bought a 4th gen iPad instead. For writing I very much liked the RM2 better.
Get a Paperlike screen protector, it makes it feel like you are writing on paper. I have one on my iPad because I draw on it. Makes a world of difference.
I LOVE MINE! It is the best tablet I’ve ever bought, hands down. My only complaint is that ALL books seem to have DRM and you can’t read them on the tablet. I really hate DRM. It encourages more piracy than it prevents. One of the things you can do with it too is screenshare it to your computer. So you can see actual colors and stuff. You can markup pdfs and everything. LOVE it! hahaha.
@@nicekitI read books on iPad and iPhone for years until I found myself in a situation where I was having major eye strain related migraines (during a pandemic while in grad school), that made it impossible to look at regular computer monitors or my iPad. At this point, I ordered a kindle, and have never regretted it. My understanding of this product, is that it uses the same kind of screen (e-ink). I just bought a kindle for my daughter who wanted to read specific books but isn’t allowed to have her phone out for most of the day at school, but is allowed to use a kindle.
@@Wingnut353 That's not the real cost of the Remarkable either. For 300.00 you can't actually use it since that doesn't include the pen. Adding that brings to cost to roughly 400.00, depending upon which one you choose (a little more or a little less). Now, you are within striking distance of a much more capable iPad. Having owned both, I will tell you that the writing experience on a remarkable is much different. I would still not recommend it because of the product support, which is abysmal. I described that in other posts here, so I will not in this one. We had two remarkable 2, but now have none. I also purchased a Kindle Scribe about a year or so ago, which isn't as good of an e-tablet, but very close and much better at e-reading and overall a much better value. I do prefer writing on the Scribe to an iPad, but if I was concerned about costs, I would opt for the iPad since it is more versatile in the long run.
3:04 It's nice that they now have the toolbar option for lefties, this used to be a huge issue and annoyance for them. Great Video Justine! The reMarkable line really changed my organizational skills, and allowed me to create a very organized system for my UA-cam channel. It really does make you very focused and organized and doesn't feel "digital".
Love you Justine I think you have the most uplifting personality but I feel like the constant commercials are getting tiring. Can we get more gaming videos or just normal tech videos?
As a minimalist, remote worker, digital nomad, I cant see this replacing my ipad, and cant see myself carrying around both devices...Ipad can do all this just get paperlike screen saver, turn on focus mode and eliminate distractons. But for someone wanting a simplified writing device without an ipad I guess it could work.
Remarkable ads have been following me around the web lately and I've been super intrigued about how it actually works. But this is more compelling than the ads, now I think I actually want this... except I don't think it can replace my iPad for work purposes because I am a web developer and I need to pull up web pages in meetings all the time.
I had my Remarkable 2 for school and loved it. 3-4 labs a semester. It was so much easier to carry BINDERS of work on one device. Yes I have an iPad but the Remarkable has a much longer battery life. It’s great if you want want the distractions that come with iPad apps.
As someone who is also left-handed, this could be great for left-handed people. Left-handed people hate spiral notebooks and most write at a slant. Don't even get me started about white boards.
That looks like a USB-C to USB-A cable. I guess reMarkable 2 doesn't support PD charging then. I wish it was USB-C to USB-C. The era of USB-A ended literaly years ago. I understand that there are some people still using USB-A, but adapters can be used if necessary.
Bought mine 2,5 years ago knowing a lot of notes would be made during 3 years at university. Man, it’s as good and the FW has been updated instantly. To write notes on top of pdfs made learning Technical subjects efficient. Everything is digital, you will find every file in the app on your Mac, PC, phone and iPad if you wish and remember to sync the reMarakable 2 over wifi. Environment friendly as I’ve spared the earth of a pile of unnessesary files there is no way I would have found back to my notes. You just type in a word or two on the RM2, and you’ll find the file in no time. Best tech investment I’ve done, even better than my latest MacBook
been watching Justine for decades. NEVER knew she's left handed. Because me too!!! Must've missed it in one Ask iJ epi 😆 The reMarkable notebook is so slick btw, loveee
Definitely a wonderful device. I have not used this device but I have tried few others… honestly after a while (long lecture session) your palm starts to pain a lot… never can any device completely replace a notebook.
We have two of these in my house. One just quit charging about 8 months ago. Trying to get Remarkable to support it has been a nightmare. They were horrible to work with and eventually we just gave up and threw it away, vowing to never buy from them again. I had already purchased the Kindle Scribe, which is not quite as featured as the Remarkable, but works just fine and has the advantage of being a very capable e-reader on top of a digital notebook (The remarkable sucks as an e-reader and really isn't one). I think the features will come to the Kindle scribe with software updates. Anyway, that is what my wife uses now.
I want to get one. Can it make normal files that I can import into my Mac Laptop to do further editing? I am an author and want to write with this unit.
Well last night during the automatic software update my Remarkable 2 just stuck endless restart cycle. Last night, i plugged in charge and wait 12 hours nothing is changed. it hasn't got a hard reset button, so i'm very disapponted now
return policy tells if that item is solid or not. reMarkable page says 100 days to decide. 100 days are more than any other manufacturer to get money back. I believe very few units may be shipping back.
This device has really made me so much more productive. Many ask why not just buy an iPad? This is a distraction free device and it feels and writes like pen and paper. A stylus on glass just isn't the same experience and constant pop up notifications will only interrupt your thought process. Spend a week with it and I promise you you'll see it's value. Organizing your notes is so easy. The ability to import PDFs and write on or highlight text and then export with ease is extremely handy and useful. I would personally recommend just buying the device alone and buying a compatible pen.
Is this a new model? I've had mine for a while and love it, but I'm wondering since the title and video description talk about a "new reMarkable 2". Did they release a new version? The reMarkable 2 came out in May 2022, so it wouldn't be surprising given how fast tech moves these days.
I've tried all the Tablets for a paper replacement and the Remarkable 2 has been the only one worth keeping. I still enjoy my ipad for nightly reading and surfing, but the remarkable is what I use all day at work and just throughout personal life. It is the only tablet that actually feels like real paper. The fact that it has no other apps over than writing is a feature, not a bug. It keeps you from getting distracted and focus just on writing and storing thoughts. There are no notifications, beeps, or sounds. Pure focus. The organization is simple but effective and the battery needs charging about 2.5 times a month for me with HEAVY use (many hours per day). I've had it for ~8 months and it has become a core part of my life and routine.
Hi, could you please let me know if it has the feature to write in colors, I’m looking for something very simple to draw ✍️ some sketches ideas to be used in real resin art. I appreciate it
You're all probably gonna think I'm crazy but I bought a Tab s8 a while back and I put a specific paperfeel screen protector on it. I've been using it to take notes for quite some time now and I got used to it and now I really like it. I can turn on either focus mode or do not disturb mode but to be honest I don't always need to be in distraction free mode. The note app I use almost replicates the Remarkable experience perfectly with nearly every feature. But I do like that I can add color or color highlights to my notes on my tab s8. But to be fair I gave the Remarkable a shot. To be honest I just didn't feel like I was using it any differently than my Tab s8. It just seemed like I was carrying another device around but doing the same thing and spending another $350. So I ended up sending it back. I see the appeal for some but it just not needed for my use case.
I have had one for 5 months already, and pretty sure that Remarkable company is like Apple in the phone world but in Paper-like tablets. I have also a Kindle for reading books, but on Remarkable it's even easier to read (I think it's because there is no backlight, which is cool). Love this device and am happy that found out about it. Synch with Mac and iPhone apps is seamless.
I have used my reMarkable 2 for the past two years and I must say that the writing experience itself is incredible. At first I used it in school and it was fine for copying things from the blackboard and such but now I use it for my notes at the university and I really miss certain features (like making drawn shapes perfect etc.). On top of that the synchronization and export process is horrible regarding quality and speed. We are allowed to use handwritten (digitally or manual) cheatsheets which simply works for my colleagues who use iPads and for me its a whole process as I have to edit the exported files again in order to be able to print them out nicely. On top of that there are occasional bugs and huge lags which destroy my workflow on a weekly basis. So if you just work on the reMarkable itself it is pretty great but once you want to actually use your handwritten files somewhere else I would recommend an iPad or Samsung tablet instead.
Hey, please present in your next video the brand new IBM PC-XT. It is supposed to have a harddisk. The RM is just old, outdated and has no real development.
It brings us back to real, with tech, this is the future, we are in the process now after years of tech pushing us into tech, now we can see where we as a humanity should be, not taken away with tech but meeting tech in the middle, this tech shows us that and it’s nice.
I have one of these and I absolutely love it; I highly recommend it. However if you lose your stylus, there are some decent aftermarket ones available. Statdler has a stylus that looks like a pencil that works really well.
Hi, thanks for the review! I am concerned about sharing docs and scribbled messages with my mac. I guess the files come through as downloads? So then does the file open in MS Word or Open Office? What about numbers and calculations? How does it handle those?
does it really flicker from white to black to white whenever you do something that affects the whole page - a bug or is it really intended? product looks neat but that part would definitely annoy me.
Great device but i need to ask you how comfortable it is to take and put back the pen to the side of the device because since i am also left handed i am afraid that this would be a daily issue to use it. I have thoughts to replace my Supernote in order to feel this type of writing , but i am concern of that. Thank you
I want 4 screen pages on it, like a folder! For reading cartoons and magazines: front is front cover of current active magazine. Then open it and see 2 pages at once. Flip to next 2 pages with a finger swipe: 👉📖 Backside on the back is whatever the magazine publisher wants to add there. I need this like for years now. 😤
This was one of the best gadgets i have ever bought. Having ADHD, a ton of distractions from mail, DM's etc, is not a good thing. I don't like paper notebooks as they get all curled up in my bag. This thing is nice 🙂
Honestly for the price I feel like I can justify using a real pencil and real paper. If i dont want to be distracted by my phone i can turn it off. People dont need more things. We need more discernment.
I want to have one for years. I worked at a financial institution. We have notebooks, printouts, files… But, it’s expensive. I wasn’t sure if it worths to try…
Wow! loved your review! I've been a viewer for several years, since 2016 at least! As a university student who is just starting classes again, this feels like a must have to save for prior to starting my more complex univeristy classes. I'm a recording arts and music engineering major and I feel like adopting something like this into my workflow could be super valuable for projects and classes as I move forward in my degree program! Thank you for the review! I'm going to hold onto this!
I was thinking of getting of something like this instead of an iPad where you have so many distractions from all those pesky apps and notifications. At least with this I can concentrate on one task. Thank you for this review!
i actually pre ordered one when they first came out and i think it was less expensive then than it is now which just feels insane. Amazing product i love going to class and taking notes on it. hate taking notes on a computer and this is just that perfect device. Just so niche of a product still
So pleased you reviewed this. I’ve always loved a notebook and pen but went totally paperless throughout covid WFH. I use my MacBook for working and ipad/pencil with a paper like screen and use notability app for note taking. I’m currently suffering eye fatigue and it was like this review was written for me. However im worried i would be buying another piece of tech that i dont need, but then can you really have too much tech lol. Seriously will consider this now, BUT it is very expensive!
what i like about justine she was really excited, happy and being grateful when reviewing products.. some youtubers would rant over a slightly tilt sticker
I have seen a lot of reviews of the Remarkable. This is the only one where it is used like a tablet instead of like a piece of paper. Never even a rested wrist but always floating hand
So can your read epub books and pdfs on this thing? How does the screen responsiveness compare to a Kindle Paperwhite for example? My latest generation PW is truly awful!
Hated my RM2 and sold it. I much prefer my Ipad Pro - Remarkable you have to another monthly subscription, etc. I found I loved making notes on my Ipad - I love the color options for pens, highlighting, etc. The paperlike screen protector on my Ipad gives the same feeling as my RM2.
I loved my Remarkable, bought it in the kickstarter campaign, but I switched to an iPad due to the poor pricing strategy : the tablet is expensive, the stylus isn't included in the lowest price advertised and on top of that there is a subscription for a 15gb cloud backup. I hope they can figure out a better way and maybe release Remarkable 3 without those things.
The software is better with ReMarkable than the Kindle Scribe, but it will close that gap very soon. The Scribe is a much better integrated e-reader (even to the public library). The only things lacking from Scribe are the gestures and unlimited page size.

Hi
Hi you are beautiful ijustine
3rd
Nice
iJustine, Please, help me with $200 so that I can afford a meal with my family on Christmas. Otherwise, things are impossible for us.
Remarkably expensive:
- reMarkable 2: $299
- Marker Plus: $129 (or Marker for $79)
- Keyboard Folio: $199 (or Book Folio for $169)
- Total: $627 + Sales Tax.
Note that for $299 you do not get a pen, of any kind. You also need a Connection subscription, which is included for the first year, then $2.99/month ($36/year). I am sure this is an amazing device, but the cost is simply too high for most people.
Accessories should be optional, but these ones certainly don't feel that way. It just feels like a way to keep the device price low, and then "ladder" you up to the full price.
yea unfortunately it's a small company and they need to price their products high
Amazon will devour their market share with the scribe for cheaper than $200 (during sales)
the fact that the device is designed as a digital notebook to take notes in and it does not even come with the pencil is hilarious. Ditch the keyboard folio and the price is about $430, meanwhile an iPad 10th gen with Apple Pencil is $530 its a no brainer for people who are not into blowing money on nothing.
Thank you
There are alternatives for Marker do save some money for me. And also works fine.
A little hack. Buy the remarkable for $299 and then the STAEDTLER Noris digital jumbo 180J 22 stylus for $35 - works the same. The case is debatable if needed. I'm loving it so far and see it worth the initial cost. Also 1 year of the Connection subscription is fine to figure out if you use it or not!

At first I used it in school and it was fine for copying things from the blackboard and such but now I use it for my notes at the university and I really miss certain features (like making drawn shapes perfect etc.). On top of that the synchronization and export process is horrible regarding quality and speed. We are allowed to use handwritten (digitally or manual) cheatsheets which simply works for my colleagues who use iPads and for me its a whole process as I have to edit the exported files again in order to be able to print them out nicely. On top of that there are occasional bugs and huge lags which destroy my workflow on a weekly basis. So if you just work on the reMarkable itself it is pretty great but once you want to actually use your handwritten files somewhere else I would recommend an iPad or Samsung tablet instead.
Hey, please present in your next video the brand new IBM PC-XT. It is supposed to have a harddisk. The RM is just old, outdated and has no real development.
My son got one and loves it. I'm considering one. He got his but with third party pen and folio, reducing the cost. I'd likely do the same.
It brings us back to real, with tech, this is the future, we are in the process now after years of tech pushing us into tech, now we can see where we as a humanity should be, not taken away with tech but meeting tech in the middle, this tech shows us that and it’s nice.
Glad to see the Remarkable 2 get more attention. I really like mine.
It is good technology but need more work because of lagging
@ijustine okay love the notebook think I need one for school buuuut I have to know where you got the beautiful pink knife/ box opener?.🧐🧐👀
I have one of these and I absolutely love it; I highly recommend it. However if you lose your stylus, there are some decent aftermarket ones available.
Statdler has a stylus that looks like a pencil that works really well.
I'm so tempted but my initial thought was that's an expensive notebook! Why do you think it's worth the price tag?
Can it be used for stuff like digital art?
Hi, thanks for the review! I am concerned about sharing docs and scribbled messages with my mac. I guess the files come through as downloads? So then does the file open in MS Word or Open Office? What about numbers and calculations? How does it handle those?
does it really flicker from white to black to white whenever you do something that affects the whole page - a bug or is it really intended? product looks neat but that part would definitely annoy me.
expensive + slow + old tech !!
ipad + Apple pencil win
unrelated but where is the tiger sweater with orange trim from??? i love it!!
Great device but i need to ask you how comfortable it is to take and put back the pen to the side of the device because since i am also left handed i am afraid that this would be a daily issue to use it.
I have thoughts to replace my Supernote in order to feel this type of writing , but i am concern of that.
Thank you
Can it work with Adobe Illustrator?
I want 4 screen pages on it, like a folder! For reading cartoons and magazines: front is front cover of current active magazine. Then open it and see 2 pages at once. Flip to next 2 pages with a finger swipe: 👉📖 Backside on the back is whatever the magazine publisher wants to add there. I need this like for years now. 😤
Are they on sale yet? The first generation was so expensive I need to thank the first people to buy them.
WOW THIS PAPER!
I’ve been so tempted to get one of these to help with work. I’ve got ADHD and I’ve found using my iPad too distracting. Might have to save up
This was one of the best gadgets i have ever bought. Having ADHD, a ton of distractions from mail, DM's etc, is not a good thing. I don't like paper notebooks as they get all curled up in my bag. This thing is nice 🙂
Where can I get one I’m in Scotland 🏴 thank you 🙏🏻 I’m disabled
@1.30 nice USB cable? what is so nice about it?
This doesn’t just include a paid promotion, it is entirely a promotion.
Honestly for the price I feel like I can justify using a real pencil and real paper. If i dont want to be distracted by my phone i can turn it off. People dont need more things. We need more discernment.
I want to have one for years. I worked at a financial institution. We have notebooks, printouts, files… But, it’s expensive. I wasn’t sure if it worths to try…
They have a 100 day trial. If you don't like it, return it.
Wow! loved your review! I've been a viewer for several years, since 2016 at least! As a university student who is just starting classes again, this feels like a must have to save for prior to starting my more complex univeristy classes. I'm a recording arts and music engineering major and I feel like adopting something like this into my workflow could be super valuable for projects and classes as I move forward in my degree program! Thank you for the review! I'm going to hold onto this!
I was thinking of getting of something like this instead of an iPad where you have so many distractions from all those pesky apps and notifications. At least with this I can concentrate on one task. Thank you for this review!
That’s why I got mine while in school. Also this type of screen (eInk) was easier on my eyes having to spend hours a day looking at different screens
I got the notebook where u whipe it with a cloth called rocketbook its deff neat as heck🔥🔥
what about output, you didn't cover print out for true old school copy.
i actually pre ordered one when they first came out and i think it was less expensive then than it is now which just feels insane. Amazing product i love going to class and taking notes on it. hate taking notes on a computer and this is just that perfect device. Just so niche of a product still
So pleased you reviewed this. I’ve always loved a notebook and pen but went totally paperless throughout covid WFH. I use my MacBook for working and ipad/pencil with a paper like screen and use notability app for note taking. I’m currently suffering eye fatigue and it was like this review was written for me. However im worried i would be buying another piece of tech that i dont need, but then can you really have too much tech lol. Seriously will consider this now, BUT it is very expensive!
This reMarkablepaper is so awesome. But really sad it doesnt ship to Malaysia :(
This women get excited at anything
It's so weird seeing someone write/draw with their left hand. We still love you.
Wait...It doesn't come with a pencil?
Thanks iJustine. My husband just bought me one. Also, I'm glad you're still doing reviews.
what i like about justine she was really excited, happy and being grateful when reviewing products.. some youtubers would rant over a slightly tilt sticker
I have seen a lot of reviews of the Remarkable. This is the only one where it is used like a tablet instead of like a piece of paper. Never even a rested wrist but always floating hand
So can your read epub books and pdfs on this thing? How does the screen responsiveness compare to a Kindle Paperwhite for example? My latest generation PW is truly awful!
Faster than the Paper White, but can't handle DRM
Omg! I LOVE that device! So cool!
Hated my RM2 and sold it. I much prefer my Ipad Pro - Remarkable you have to another monthly subscription, etc. I found I loved making notes on my Ipad - I love the color options for pens, highlighting, etc. The paperlike screen protector on my Ipad gives the same feeling as my RM2.
She is completely bought and paid for 😂
So you have a discount code?
I am here for Justine!
I loved my Remarkable, bought it in the kickstarter campaign, but I switched to an iPad due to the poor pricing strategy : the tablet is expensive, the stylus isn't included in the lowest price advertised and on top of that there is a subscription for a 15gb cloud backup. I hope they can figure out a better way and maybe release Remarkable 3 without those things.
I wish this thing wasn’t so expensive. Just can’t justify the price for such limited functionality compared to my iPad Pro.
How do you make it brighter?
Justine has a beautiful handwriting
The software is better with ReMarkable than the Kindle Scribe, but it will close that gap very soon. The Scribe is a much better integrated e-reader (even to the public library). The only things lacking from Scribe are the gestures and unlimited page size.

I LOVE YOUR HAIR IN THIS VIDEO
Not having a backlight killed it for me
This video just distracted me from my actual work... reMarkable...
