Remarkable 2: An Unsponsored Review. Still worth it in 2024?

Remarkable 2: Great device or a fad? Discussing use cases, paid subscription, usability and value.

This was such a helpful review! I always have a hard time spending money and I bought one of these on eBay but considered selling it right away. After watching this, I think I’ll keep it and enjoy it!

I really like this review. I have seen so many reviews for products that I feel like are solving problems that are not really problems. I don't care that I can't multitask, search, copy paste, etc on paper - that's why I like paper. It forces you to slow down and be intentional. I have ADHD so any kind of digital device can very easily destroy my productivity.

I still don't think the price is justified for me, as I haven't run into the same issues you had with paper. My pocket notebooks haven't gotten out of hand, but I've been using them consistently for like a year.

This really does look like a great device. I've seen one in person (not actually used it) and it looked great.

I love your accent dude. Ive just ordered one for my note taking and poetry. I like simplicity.

I ended up buying an iPad just due to the crazy cost of remarkable, just couldn't part with my hard earned cash for that price. I know people say it distracting etc, but hey I can watch movies, I can edit videos, I can draw and paint etc

[Lahlees]

I love mine - I used to have a notebook for each type of meeting/project - but then when pulled into last minute meetings I would grab the wrong notebook- and I get distracted easily- so for me, this works perfectly!!!

Have you tried the Kindle Scribe? I have both the remarkable2 and the scribe and both are really fantastic, I often lean to the scribe as of late for the higher resolution and front light, it’s great to have one device for reading and writing.

The downside is no quick access drawer and no finger gestures, it takes too many steps to go between notebooks or from writing to reading a book.

Fantastic Video! You have a new subscriber! I ordered the Remarkable and returned twice hoping that the my IPAD m4 would finally “feel” good writing and now I am thinking getting this again 😢 - I just wish for 2 additional things - a little more connectivity to the Apple ECO - for example connecting to Apple Notes - why I drop links to multiple resources (website URLS, word Docs (without importing etc.) AND the ability to take notes on Kindle Books - Ahh First World Problems! 😂 Thank you for the Video!

First off, thanks for your video clip. I have watched many on the remarkable 2 and Type Folio.
I would just like you to tell me a number between 1-10 (10 being awesome)
Is this device good for writing short stories/chapters?
Thank you.

Do you need to have the Connect Subscription to sync between the Desktop App (for Windows) and the Mobile App (for Android)? I was just wondering because it would be good if I am "in the field" to be able to review notes and confirm things that I had taken down as notes EARLIER without the need to bring along the reMarkable 2. If I can access my data from my SmartPhone and somehow it syncs. That would be great and I would use the Desktop App to take backups either locally or on Google Drive. Care to comment/reply???

Enjoyed your video, dude. Good content and helpful!

[zhannayarkayeva]

I love your video. The best. I wish you unbelievable success.

I love my RM2. I love it even more since I learned how to use Tags. Subscription is absolutely a must for me. For example, I am at my desk. I take a call, I jot down stuff related to the call. I then grab my test equipment and head to a network closet. But when I get there I am like, was it switch port 12 on network switch 1, or port 12 on switch two? I grab my phone, open up the remarkable app, bring up the notes I just wrote on my RM2 at my desk, and yup I was completely off, it is port 22 on switch 3. I was so close:)! I am likely going to get the Paper Pro as I also diagram all the time and it would really be helpful if I could see the colors I am writing with. And many PDF documents use color graphs or diagrams to highlight info which I can't take advantage of with my RM2. But I have been watching the reviews of the Paper Pro and there are some things that are preventing me from buying it today. You must use the RM pen and it is apparently even harsher than the eraser pen with the RM2. I even purchased third party pens for my RM2 which I keep at my work desk and home desk. I only use the RM pen when I am doing a construction walk-through and then I just use the RM2 pen which is held to the RM2 by magnet (love that is is right there). Then there is mention that the Paper Pro makes a slight noise when it is refreshing the screen. I hear everything, electic motor whirring, induction stove whirring, etc. So I am hesitant. Great video on just how useful the RM2 is. I love mine and it is just so cool that every note for any given project or task is right there on the RM2, my phone, and my desktop! Perfect for me!

Unlimited budget what is the best device for writing to text

[Nekotaku_TV]

I was scared you were gonna break it waving it around like that. Love mine but it is super fragile. And it's too glossy, does not feel like paper.

[SpyStaMia]

2:55 - please make a video of you setting fire to the ReMarkable 2 please? 😂😊

Can you explain how downloading ebooks work?
I know it supports pdf and EPUFB files however it won't work if they are watermarked which all ebooks are where I buy them from.
How do you use it without removing the watermarking through softwares?

[liketheduck]

Great review! Useful, real world details.

[lucianserban]

I have a question, I would like to receive and advice from you. I am an engineer, I am 24 and I just started working (in an internship program).Usually I work both in the office and field, I am following activities like civil work, piping and pipeline and also some QC. Do you think is worth it for me to get one? Also I need to learn a different language besides so there are a few reasons but I want to hear your advice

[CrueLoaf]

Do you rate the new Remarkable Pro?
I’ve just bought a Remarkable 2 (after seeing your video). The Pro is heavier and I wonder if the battery lasts as long as the R2.
Anyway, I’m enjoying my R2.

What is the android interface experience like any idea?
