I have made exactly 1 comment entry on any YouTube video in my entire 41 years of life, and it is this one. I have no idea who this guy is, but this video was phenomenal and so well edited. I was up in the air about buying a Remarkable, and now I am down on the ground(?) about it. 100% decided I am buying it. Run the Joules, I am subscribing to your list just because this was so damn entertaining and informative. Hell, I may watch this again.

imagine making videos so high quality that you have to explain this is not sponsored

[josephwatson]

No BS, this is by far the best youtube video I've seen detailing a product and it's intended use. Great production values and a sense of humour. Thank you!

[GoZagz]

There are a lot of good reviews out there, but this is, by far, the best video I've seen on the Remarkable. Thank you for blending the features while sharing HOW you use it.

[defaultroute]

I’ve got one. I had notepads everywhere. Loads of them. One for study, one for general stuff, a diary etc. the remarkable does everything you need if you are replacing writing on paper. It’s absolutely perfect.

As a trucker, I find my device to be a lifesaver for managing the tedious paperwork trail that comes with the job. Additionally, as someone with autism, it serves as a cloud for my mind, allowing me to easily access all of my ebooks and utilize memory techniques such as mnemonics, the major system, and memory palaces. This not only saves me time but also makes it easier on my cognitive load. Overall, I love my device for its ability to simplify my life in so many ways.

[LarsDahlin]

Yeah. I got mine at the start of the year. Really changed the way I journal and plan my time. I use the Alastair method for planning and follow up my weeks. I usually convert my hand written text and send it into Journey which is my journaling platform. A bit old school in a good way. There isn't a lot of tech that puts a smile on my face. This one does.
And thank you for your video. I learned that if I number the folders I get them arranged in the way I want. Thanks again!
"Ha en bra dag", as we say here in Sweden! 🙂

My wife and I print recipes to PDF and load to the Remarkable. We then mark up as we adjust and add notes. It is really helpful as I experiment with cheese making recipes.

[SkywalkerX]

Dude your video finesse skills are insane. It’s not the editing, it’s the complete focus on the viewer

[joshuawager]

Thank you. I've watched a ton of reviews in my life on so many different products. Normally I make it 15% into the review before I start fast forwarding or even turning it off. This one I enlarged, sat back, and watched from start to finish. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[energeticcodfish]

I was here for a pure tech review, but it turned out to be an inspiring self-management lesson! Well done!

[kariannefimland]

Remarkable 2 really is the best. Also the fact that you have access to all the files on the remarkable and on the computer and on your phone with the cloud sync is a game-changer. Having the ability to have many folder, pds, notebooks and more in one place helps so much with multiproject management. You can also do sub-folders as well. So easy to move between folders. Or make duplicates. Also remember you can activate a security code on your remarkable, like a screen lock you would have on your phone. A 4-digit code you choose, to give you some peace of mind that no one else can access your information. :) Great review.

[dazewithadrian]

Amazing review. tech reviews are notorious for being repetitive across videos. I wish more people shared their personal experience as you did. Keep up the amazing work!

[tovsteh]

Got my recently. For someone who loves to draw/doodle/write, practice doing this, and hate having to start over/bring and waste paper, this thing is beyond perfect.

[humbleviewpoint]

Love my reMarakable 2! I inquired a couple of years ago about becoming an affiliate marketer for this product. I did not get approved. I used to buy journals. Then they get full and you don't have them handy when you need them. I have all the value of a paper system ( including the feel) with out any of the down sides. I draw a lot in my Morning Pages and my planner and my journal and this device feels like the best paper. All the other tablets I have tried are too smooth or the emulation is a little off. Every other device distracts me with extra features and then runs out of battery. I want to reaffirm every thing you said. I will add that it is probably not for everyone but for those of us who like things to be just right, and we know who we are, this is the perfect tool. Thank you for saying it so well.

[viktoriaberg]

I bought my reMarkable before it was even finished, and have not regretted it (still use the first model). I also have a racing mind and write "morning pages" all day long, as needed; it calms me down and helps me regain focus. Also it works for epub and pdf, which I use a lot in both work an leisure. I like its limitations, why do we need every device to do it all? No one thinks a mobile phone and a computer is redundency, they are both good for different things. And the reMarkable has its place in the gadget park.

[asiewert]

The remarkable is worth every penny. Btw, currently starts at $$298 USD. I have been using since the first version came out. Increased my productivity, allows spontaneous drawing and focus. It is a huge plus that it doesn’t surf the web etc. it’s for writing and drawing period. Mountains of legal pads are now all in this device.

[coltoncauthen]

The aesthetic quality of this video is so good it’s almost annoying. Fantastic work and the content was really, really great as well.

[tuomolindgren]

Thank you for this video. I did not buy Remarkable, but I started my morning pages. It was a good tip. There are others too to recommended it. But it was only after your video I started it and with the rules you mentioned: No negative self talk and commit to action. This "commit to action" was very helpful for me. It woke me really up to make effort. Morning pages gives a good practice platform with it. "Commit to action" affects clear decisions. Thank you.

[eoinparkinson]

Just went out and bought a remarkable. Watched lots of reviews, this one really helped finalise the decision. One major thing for me was distractions. I find myself in a waze when I use my phone or laptop. I thought about an iPad with paper feel screen protector, but I would just suffer from the same problem. This will be a useful device for university and work. No more scraps of paper in my bag before a lecture trying to find a place to write. Simple and elegant, but does the job.
