Was going to get a Remarkable 2 but a paywall is a no go.

Branden, After reading many reviews on reMarkable vs Onyx, it was your presentation and explanation that moved me to purchase the Onyx Boox Note Air 2 Plus! I love the way you articulate and share your thoughts. I will be subscribing and connecting with you to join your Key2Success digital planning. THANK YOU!!

I have Rem2 before it launched officially.

I have gotten quite frustrated with it's closed ecosystem the same way I've been amused by it.

It's a nice tool to replace the paper. Good, distractionless device.

Until you want to get longer random texts to the tablet or photos that aren't converted to .pdf.

I like the book part as there are a lot of epub-s around and send to Remarkable extension on Chrome in PC and phone works also magic.
I've read numerous Wiki and newspaper arcticles on remarkable this way.

And then it gets dark and I can't read in the corner. Great. And then comes out coloured ePaper tablet. Great.

Other than that. Distraction free device that really feels like paper. Good for quick sketches, keeping scores, digitizing signatures or other forms of handwriting and taking quick notes.

Onyx experience looks way smoother though. It'll save you some frustration maybe.

After reviewing both, I’m still leaning towards remarkable even though it’s subscription based. I don’t need kindle, the Google play store, split screen etc. I just need to keep it simple and take notes

[robinkuijpers]

I've watched so many vids to decide between the two, and yours finally comforts me in my decision: I'm going for the Note Air Plus. Thanks.

[Saad_Drawings]

I got my note air 2 plus today after 3 weeks of waiting. I’m enjoying it more and more and since I draw on my iPad I think this will be a good warm up sketchbook

[emaconutube]

I was about to buy the remarkable2. Yet, after doing some research, with your presentation being the final confirmation, I decided to go forward with BOOX - the latest BOOX Tab Ultra ePaper Tablet PC.

Thanks for taking the time to do this review… it’s gratefully appreciated.

[capybarahat]

I ordered a remarkable tablet when it was first introduced and ended up not using it much for exactly the reasons you mentioned. The closed ecosystem just made it hard to load content to read, and sync notes off of the device.

Pretty excited about this new tablet.

[andrewayers]

Thank you so much for this review. My Remarkable which was a gift was recently stolen and I was troubled with the idea that spending the money to replace it might not be the best use of my funds, Although the Onyx book is quite a bit more expensive its feature rich additions means the one off extra cost is ore than covered in benefits. you saved me a lot of time shopping around and checking in stores

[nickimaestro]

I'll be short and concise:

Remarkable = marketing scam milking consumers who didn't put the research in which devices are out there, the monthly feature plans clearly show that.

Onyx = quality & quantity first, new feature releases are always worth it. It's not a remarkable killer, remarkable was never alive in the first place besides their fancy marketing.

Bought my onyx boox note air 1 instead of the RM2 and have not regretted it ever since.

Using it for 2 years now, 0 failures, solid battery, solid storage space.

Friend of mine got the RM2, 6months and it stopped working for no reason and he had to get a new one from RM for free (good service, but still)

Can't wait for the Boox Note Air 3

Fav feature: recordings one notes for when you can't be taking enough notes in meetings as being present in the moment is more important, but you also dont want to miss anything 👌

Branden, thank you for your honest impartial review. I have decided to purchase the Onyx Boox Air2 Plus. I am also installing your organization Kit for professionals. Getting it set up with One Note makes it easy accessible. Thanks for the insight.

[robertsalm]

Excellent, thorough review, thank you! Actually was torn between both products. As an FYI, and I'm sure you're aware by now, Boox is pronounced "Books" for obvious reasons. Thanks again for your comparison.

[micheleboninahofmann]

I just receiv/ed my Note 4... I have no idea how to start using it but I know I'm going to love it. I look forward to your training videos so I know what I'm doing 🤣

[quatummind]

I think the Onyx Note is similar to the Kindle Scribe in functionality but I prefer the Remarkable 2 for distraction free, optimal focus environment and high level learning tool. I definitely agree that the Onyx OneNote integration is a plus but when I need to isolate myself from all temptations then my Remarkable 2 is my only option. I don’t need nor desire multiple devices (phone, iPad, Computer) to keep track of. The Remarkable 2 with Connect allows me to archive and retrieve my notes from a single location. Onyx Note is a great product but nothing can replace my iPad Pro for that range of functionality but the distraction level is super high.

[patrick]

When it will be possible to change the colour of the writing or to overline it, then yes, it will really be an exceptional tool.

[hatem]

Since you are not using your Remarkable 2 anymore, I am interested to buy it.

[sebbusch]

I have tested both for myself, the RM2 for a year, the Air2 Plus for a week. Of course the Air2 Plus can do a lot more than the RM2, but the things the RM2 can do, it does consistently better than the Air2 Plus.

[WayneMan]

I hate how you cannot simply edit existing Office documents in RM2. Instead you end up creating new copies which can then be uploaded back, so from a collaboration perspective it is a disaster. The Office app integration of the Boox is a total game changer.

[SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

That $7.99 plan is so insulting. I think that's put me permanently off ever buying a Remarkable. It's exploiting the customer. That Boox does look interesting though.

[ahmedabdallah]

Never used any of them, but I feel that the remarkable screen res is a bit better, it's clear, white and eye-friendly than Boox.
