I've had my Remarkable2 for about 40 days, and use it everyday. I use it for all my meeting notes, use it for planning, sketching out ideas, marking up PDFs. Add about 4 pages per day.
I love it. My favorite tool for thought I've added to the toolbelt in a long time (well, the M1's are also amazing). It's like magic. I can draw a diagram like I do on paper, but now drag select and then duplicate and quickly have thousands of glyphs. Very fun to think through ideas. My iPad Pro/Pencil is mostly for FaceTime now and the occasional marking up of a screen grab. Before this I would fill up about 4-6 paper graphing paper notebooks a year.
It was definitely expensive, but given how much it is improving my work, well worth it.
The subreddit has been very helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/
- d3nj4l 5y agoYou mention moving from an iPad to remarkable. I have an iPad with a pencil right now and I feel pretty satisfied with it, but I’m curious about the remarkable. What do you think is better about the remarkable?
- dorchadas 5y agoI don't have a reMarkable, but I use a Fujitsu Quaderno A4. For me, it's the eink screen that's made all the difference. Less eye strain, and a better writing feel. It's also helped keep me focused since the Quaderno, at least, has nothing else but pdfs and note-taking.
- jackson1442 5y agoThe iPad feels like writing on a whiteboard: fine, but not ideal. Writing on the reMarkable is significantly closer to paper, less distracting, and it feels easier on my wrists since I can rely a bit on the friction of the screen. I definitely wouldn't buy it unless you have to write a lot (I'm a student, so this is the case with me), but I definitely enjoy it.
- breck 5y agoThe feel is much better. More friction, feels like paper. I prefer eInk to a bright screen. No popups or distractions (same as if I was using pen and paper). It’s noticeably lighter. Simple software that does everything I need well. No need to fuss with apps.
- IndySun 5y agoI am interested in ReMarkable. This recent reddit post, is it your experience? What is happening with this lag? https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/nemvjy/my_video_for_support_demonstrating_the_immense_lag/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/nemvjy/my...
- breck 5y agoI do notice some lag but not until I have over 10,000 or 100,000 glyphs when I'm prototyping data visualization ideas. Honestly it scales better than I was expecting, so my guess is they've optimized their loops and I'm pushing the hardware to the limit around that OOM, and that a Remarkable3 will fix it with faster hardware.
