I don't have a subscription or even an account, and I've had no issues using my reMarkable 2. I literally have not turned on WiFi, but it's been an excellent offline device. Being able to plug it in and connect via ssh is a solid feature.
That being said, my girlfriend loves her Supernote too, so there's plenty of alternatives.
- kashyapc 2y agoThanks to your comment, I just discovered Supernote. If you have time, can you comment on the build quality of Supernote, compared to remarkable? I'm a sucker for high-quality materials and thoughtful aesthetics. Metal / glass over tacky plastic.
- itishappy 2y agoThey're both well put together, but the reMarkable is a clear winner. It's thinner, denser, prefers metals to plastic, and generally looks and feels like a more premium device. Due to the slim design, however, the reMarkable feels a bit more fragile. Fortunately, the reMarkable case is significantly nicer than the Supernote's. I also prefer the writing experience on the reMarkable, though they're unique enough I won't claim one is objectively better. (The reMarkable feels like writing with pencil and paper, the Supernote feels like writing with a ball point pen. Both are incredibly satisfying! We tried both, and I was planning to return the one and get us both the same model, but we ended up with different preferences.)
- kashyapc 2y agoThank you for taking time to write this! Based on your description, it sounds like reMarkable mostly matches my current setup. I'm a heavy user of (mechanical) pencil and paper. Being an "excellent offline device" also matches one of my core requirements.
