yet my colleagues who loved the first one love this one to and keep recruiting new users so there is obviously a market for it.
Personally I returned mine because I couldn't justify both the iPad and the reMarkable at that time but the writing experience was fantastic.
- throwanem 5y agoYeah, I got recruited that way too, only the trouble is that having had the device a few days now my takeaway is I should really have done more research first and ideally spent that money elsewhere. Presented by an excited aficionado, the thing looks amazing, but when you go to actually use it the way you use a notebook, the software just isn't there to help you do that. Oh, well. I guess if nothing else it's a valuable refresher on the correct weighting to apply when evaluating early adopter opinions.
- eitland 5y agoI sent mine back. Is it too late to return your?
- throwanem 5y agoNo, I've only had it a few days. I haven't yet really decided to return it, either; the tech is legitimately amazing, even if the software lacks a lot, and I've yet to more than scratch the surface of what the community has to offer. I'll find some worthwhile use for the thing, even if it takes a while. I'm just disappointed that that looks so much like not being the use for which I actually bought it.
