> So far, my only solution to this is to be a late adopter, and to favour simplicity over sophistication. I was recently considering going from paper notebooks to a tablet. That initiative stopped at the electronics store. The Surface Go wanted me to go through a setup wizard (after dismissing a few notifications). Two of the 4 iPads had working pencils. The ReMarkable reviews mention a host of issues. I never encountered any bugs with my Moleskine. It pairs flawlessly with any pencil I want, including older models.
Not to mention that it:
- doesn't need charging
- never freezes or crashes
- is much cheaper than a laptop or tablet
- distraction-free (no Internet, no apps, etc.)
- nicbou 6y agoAll of those were on my list of cons, particularly the lack of distractions. I avoided the Surface completely because Windows is anything but quiet and maintenance-free. The iPad seemed pretty solid, but I'd have to turn it on and unlock it to see my notes, unlike a notebook. The Remarkable seemed nice, bht there are lots of complaints that paper doesn't have. The Supernote A6X was the most promising, but it was hard do get in Germany.
