iPad Pro vs Remarkable 2: The Perfect Combination | Here's Why I Use Both!

For months, I searched KZbin trying to figure out which device would be better for my needs. I quickly discovered that there wasn't a winner. The WIN was adding both of the devices to my workflow. Surprisingly, it's been a game-changer for me.

I agree, great companion device

So glad to find someone else that uses the iPad and rM2 together. I felt kind of guilty running the two side by side, but to see someone else do the same is validating ;)

Update: I sold my RM2 since I made this video. When I got the new iPad Pro M4, I decided I no longer need the RM2.

Scott I started to watch you when you where just begging your journey. I'm polish but grown up in Ireland. Before COVID I was engaged doing videos and then everything changed. I'm working as a Hotel Manager in the city centre of Dublin. I'm going to be honest. I didn't watch you for a long time because you were moving forward and I was going back, but now I found something weird agreement with myself that I understood and need to move forward. You are a smart guy, thank you for the wedding behind the scenes 😅 helped me a lot even I did it once by myself. It went great even though the prist locked my cameras in the church 😂 always need to improvise like you. I didn't touch computer at home and camera for years but then yesterday I remembered about you. Let see what happens 😅 thank you man. It's probably my first comment on you tube 😂 I hope you read it 😎 Cheers!

[@scottmckenna]

Thanks for following along for so long. I appreciate you being here.

[@seamusstout5991]

Great stuff Scott! I want one now! lol

[@scottmckenna]

I really like it. Surprisingly.

[@Justin_Cowley]

I would have to 100% agree with you. Wrughting somthing down it’s more efficient than typing it down, I believe it's a good way to remember things and help you stay on track. But I'm the one to talk, I don't write things down as I should all the time.

[@dwilson51]

Remarkable is still better than all the other e ink hands down. No distractions is the key. I agree with this but I'm an android user and use the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ instead of the insane fruit ecosystem...........

[@DigitalSapient]

The ReMarkable 2 does actually connect to the internet. You can send emails, but you can't receive them. Also, you can turn writing into text and you can connect all nptes and PDFs via their Connect service and access OneDrive & Google Drive and you can see all the notes you take on ReMarkable onto an iPad...so you missed a whole lot in a good review otherwise.

[@scottmckenna]

I mentioned that in the video if you watched the whole thing.

[@mish19811]

Did you filmed this with the 20 mm 1.8 ? Or something else?

[@scottmckenna]

24mm 1.4 G Master.

Actually, the Remarkable team failed in 2024 because all other brands released new products, but they did not.

[@scottmckenna]

I imagine there’s only so many things they can upgrade on a regular basis. It’s a pretty basic device.

[@xkaigo]

@@scottmckenna Software users can wait, but at the very least users have to buy the hardware product first, and in this area of hardware, they are too slow and have been surpassed by multiple rivals.

[@davesnow]

Actually, the Remarkable team keeps improving the software on a consistent basis for everyone who has bought the hardware instead of just trying to sell new hardware in a cash grab. The current device works great, doesn’t need an upgrade. I’d call that a win.

[@auroraanavrin4336]

The device is meant to minimalize your life. We don’t need a new device every year.

[@RichMadeKnives]

@@davesnow I agree with you for the most part. I wouldn't mind a backlight that is available to turn on when needed because there have been a few times where I wanted to use my reMarkable at night and with my normal evening room lighting it was a little hard to see. Other than that I do think they really nailed the hardware and I hope they don't stray too far from the design in the next version. The higher DPI white paper screen (300 dpi on the Kindle) would also be a great bonus.
