I have a remarkable v2, and I don't use their online services. I just wanted to replace a pen-and-paper notebook, and read occasional PDFs on it. It works fine as an ereader and brilliantly as an e-notebook. If better hardware is the key criterion for you, I'd go for the remarkable and just ignore the services.
- jcun4128 5y agoSame have had it for a few months have not connected to wifi
- texasbigdata 5y agoThe new Google drive intergration also super helps. Great tool.
- jcun4128 5y agoThe cool thing about it is you can SSH into it/do whatever you want from what I've read. There are some cool repos out there (check the sub). Eventually... I would like to mess around with it. It is a cool device though, the drawing feeling because the screen is textured and it "feels good" writing on it. It's thin and lasts a long time. Has it changed my life or anything, no not really it mostly sits with my SG2 that I will use at some point. As an aside, I also use this drawing (Krita) graphics tablet Kamvas Pro 12 GT-116 as an external monitor, just for anyone looking for a "drawing workflow extension" of some sort. I have used Sketch on the SG2 that's pretty nice too.
- necovek 5y agoTook me a minute to figure out that SG2 is "Surface Go 2", so let me share that for others' benefit :)
- m4rtink 5y agoFor the record I use the Galaxy Note S6 + Wacom One combo for drawing in Krita and Clip Studio - also works quite nicely. :)
- texasbigdata 5y agoBoth comments are super helpful. It's hard to have a third device that acts as a zoom white board that actually works. Used to use the giant surface hub studio that's on a swivel but it's way overkill
- tejtm 5y agoYep only turn on briefly when I decide to update the OS. No regrets.
