I’m a bit underwhelmed by the price. This costs as much as the current-gen Remarkable, with more power, but likely worse build quality and software and only slightly higher hackability.
That said I’m still excited for cool e-ink applications, like finally an optimized browser. Also: Competition to those Onyx devices with Android apps running through WayDroid (should be possible on the Remarkable, but I haven’t seen anyone try it).
… which raises an interesting point. Will these things come with a working Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) for modern Wayland compositors to run?
- rjsw 5y agoBuild quality has been good for all the Pine64 products that I own.
- rich_sasha 5y agoLooks cheaper than remarkable. For me (UK) it is £399 + £99 for a pen (!) which is in fact a consumable. If I want a book-cover type thing, that’s another £99. And it’s GBP not USD. So that’s probably altogether about 50% cheaper? I love the idea of remarkable, but cant justify £600 spend on a better notebook.
- chrismorgan 5y ago> £99 for a pen (!) which is in fact a consumable. The pen tips are consumables, the pen itself isn’t.
- rich_sasha 5y agoAh that I missed, good to know.
- bodge5000 5y agoThe supernote may be of interest, the pen nibs don't need replacing. No idea how it compares to the RM2, a lot of people seem to rate it favourably but very few people have owned both so I don't know if thats just buy in hype. Theres a few youtube comparisons, but I have no intention of watching a 45 minute video that will end with "its up to you".
