Thanks for you video, i'm waiting for my Remarkable 2 and i'm sure i'm gona love it :) I didn't take the keyboards because when i start typing, i need to have access in the same time to trello, slack and notion. I need something to not waste paper, take notes in a same place, be able to organise easily my notes and share my thoughts in live 🙏

Man I want to love their devices! Their are so clean and beautiful, but because of their limited connectedness and high cost I just can't justify it. It is essentially a beautiful notebook and I can't justify it for that price. If I just need to write something I want it to connect to my documents I'm already using (Google docs) etc and get access to spelling correction etc. The beautiful benefit of the distraction free environment goes out the window (for me) when you have to get the information, notebooks, writing, etc. off it to an app then onto your actual work applications. I wish there was no monthly subscription too. I want to like it, but I want it to connect to the applications I already use and have a backlight. Thank you for your perspective and review!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

I hear yah!!

[@kiandronootto]

I used one for about 3 months and I LOVED it. Unfortunately I had to return it for a refund due to some financial stress I was going through. I’ll be buying one again once I get on my feet again

[@SpencerScottPugh]

You got it dude. Good on you. We’ve all been there!

[@abdullahvirk8130]

I love my Remarkable 2! I just ordered the keyboard as well to go alongside it. It’s such a good device for note taking and love how simple it is

[@SpencerScottPugh]

100% get excited for the keyboard. It’s honestly just as great an experience!

[@catherinetravella6293]

Great review and perspective - bought the remarkable 2 and iPad mini with pencil when going digital analog (tried OneNote/Evernote on laptop/tablets and wasn’t for me prior to that)… then fell down the bullet journal and nice journal rabbit hole only to come back full circle and pulled out my remarkable last week - would love to hear how or if you blend digital notebooks with traditional ones…. Work, personal, bullet journal, Bible study…. Likewise would be interested in a supernote review - that’s the one I’m leaning towards over the boox and handing down the remarkable to one of my kids or husband.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Will definitely try and inquire about a Supernote for the channel!

[@jonahhekmatyar]

It'll be interesting to see whether you like the Boox Go 10.3, it has a similar ethos but with more storage, better screen, and better processor, ect.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Would love to review it. Need to reach back out to BOOX. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@moniquemm5536]

Thanks for your video. I just purchased one and really like it. one reason why I am considering returning is the pen thickness selection. It only has three thickens and sometimes it looks like the pen skips when I choose the first thickness and the second one is too thick. I just can’t find a thickness that works for me. I have a few more days to return and may wait it out with using paper until something else comes along. But I am still on the fence. Thx again for updated video.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

I’ve come to get used to the middle thickness personally!

[@jonahhekmatyar]

What a coincidence, I just saw your NA3C review and I saw this pop up in my feed. I didn't even realize this was only just uploaded. My only issue with RM2 is that its hardware (especially memory and storage) is too little for serious PDF/document work these days, especially given the price they command. (It's a little concerning they're still sending out RM2 models for review, I would have hoped a RM3 or refreshed hardware version of the RM2 would be on the horizon)

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Interesting take on the storage. The speed of the device was fine and honestly feels like this device could have come out this year (aside from the more pixelated screen). It is still so thin and made really well. Not sure if reMarkable needs another device right now, though I know folks are wanting one! I could only imagine minor upgrades - smaller bezels, more storage, updated screen, etc. The functionality is all there with RM2 and it works well! Thanks for the comment, Jonah.

[@ksumar]

How much storage is there in this gadget. I mean 64Gig, 32Gb? Is there an SD Card slot as that would be Remarkable!

[@SpencerScottPugh]

8gb. No sd card slot. Little low for today’s standards for sure. But in working with small handwritten documents, this isn’t much of a problem!

[@zaidali-zv7xl]

please also review supernote a6x2 it is similar to remarkable 2 but with better functionalities

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Nice! Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll see if I can get in touch with the company. Appreciate yah!

[@GaryOliver-my3pp]

you missed the fact the pen falls off the side because there is no flap enclosing it

[@SpencerScottPugh]

Indeed! I didn’t experience that until recently. Much stronger magnet than the Boox, however.

[@jamesmadison7551]

Once they make it cheaper for the normal masses then, this will be revolutionary m but, for now it’s little pricey.

[@SpencerScottPugh]

I think it’s pretty well priced actually!

[@sloppynyuszi]

@@SpencerScottPughI dunno man. It’s replacing a sketchpad and a pen, and for many people it’s competing against an entry level iPad or a mid level Android tablet. I really like my remarkable, but it just feels like I over spent on it, and I have to unnecessarily baby it, due to how expensive it was. I wanted a minimalist tool, but It’s not cheap and hard to recommend for most people.

[@bernardospinelli5588]

@@SpencerScottPugh Those devices are massively overpriced. We are talking about something that is supposed to substitute pencil and paper. Pencil and paper cost almost nothing and, well, there are no bugs or lags involved when you write with pencil and paper. If you want to digitalize what you wrote with a pencil and paper, you just take a picture with your phone and voilà, done. People are supposed to pay $500 for a device which does the job far worse than $10 worth of pencil and paper. Paying $500 on a e-ink writing device feels almost like spending $700 on a juice squeezing machine that squeezes a pack of juice that can be squeezable by hand. That said, I'd pay happily $99 for a device that allows me just to write or take notes like an endless notebook and export to pdf, no need for anything else, no other apps, no ebooks, no anything, just a device that lasts for about 5 years and allow some flawless and bugless writing experience .

I chose the supernote over this

Currently testing the Nomad :)

Even the remarkable pro sucks, this one even more

Why?

Overpriced…
