reMarkable 2 vs reMarkable Paper Pro

[@ramonpineda7514]

Thank you for your review! My wife's desk has notebooks all over that she sometimes has to carry for her meetings. I'm hoping the RM2 will lighten the load for her plus clear up some space on her desk, LOL.

[@morningcoach]

I am sure it will, it is a great device

[@harewoodm]

Long day. Sat down to do paperwork. First face I see? JB!!! My PaperPro will be here by Friday. I sooooooooo want to love it. All these vids help. Thanks for the energy and the expertise. Waiting for the new planner is the tough part!!!!

[@morningcoach]

Yes we have a few weeks but it is going to be awesome I have a new sheet I am going to get out this week, you can use but won’t be the best “planner” but still cool we are looking late OCT for the new planner - thanks for asking and the comment :)

[@AfroNerd25]

The only reason I'm considering upgrading from the remarkable two is because I'm an engineering student and I just started taking classes like material science and physics 2 where oftentimes The professor denotes different things with different colors, and I find myself struggling a lot to quickly find an innovative way to differentiate on my remarkable 2

[@designdisorder]

Love my new RMPP. Has been an upgrade for me in all aspects.

[@lefteriszabou]

Remarkable 2 device is such a romantic feel to your hands , with not light on it and that writing feel !! Thats how I feel with RM2 to my hands !! I love to use it everyday!! As for RM pro ? I m waiting for it , but as I understood from all reviews that I watch , is a step forward for RM products ( a little color in my life is acceptable) and I believe that I will enjoy it a lot … and if not ? There is always a return choice in order to buy something else !! My opinion for Supernote (because I owned an A5X) I loved the writing feel but somehow I broke the nib 2 times and I found myself accidentally turning pages with my left hand when i wrote . Also I found myself enjoying writing more before putting a Feelwrite 2 film … Conclusion : I will stay with RM with one of their devices.. I trust them and I like it more !!

With the two devices side-by-side, it's clear the RPP struggles with grey tones, no doubt due to its limited shades of grey (only four I believe, compared to 16 on the RM2). In your planner, for instance, there appear to be grey features visible on the RM2 that are completely missing from the RPP. Has this been a problem for you, and are you planning to optimize the next version of your planner for the RPP?

[@morningcoach]

Yes, we are. We are going to have an RPP version Robert thanks for asking and I really appreciate the comment. We have to get the first one done which is late October. We’re making some major improvements and then will be moving onto specific devices and finally next year we’re gonna be launching modular planners for individual people.

[@FawadBilgrami]

Remarkable Pro is a good device but sadly I'll be returning mine. It's a bit too big for me.

[@morningcoach]

I can understand that that’s what I was saying the RM two is still a great device if you don’t like that heavy kind of bigger device thank you for the comment

[@rgsr5244]

Would you sell your rM2 with its type folio if getting the Paper Pro+Type Folio? Or what would be the use if having both? Thank you for the positivity and your videos!!!

[@morningcoach]

Personally, because the software and how you can match the devices, I think you can keep it because of what you would get for it. You might be able to use it in another part of the house, etc. or as some of my friends are doing their giving it to their significant other. But again because of the software and you know you’re gonna be matching the same stuff on both devices, I can see how you might keep them both for the couple hundred bucks that you’re going to get on eBay or whatever if that makes sense

[@alfonsoafricano8415]

Can you use any kind of flash drive on the remarkable 2?

[@morningcoach]

No unfortunately

[@Minusnotyou]

I was hoping to use the 2 as a personal journal and the pro for my professional life. Is the transfer of documents automatic or can I keep their content separate?

[@morningcoach]

I am not sure I have to test it - thanks right now it mirrors I am pretty sure you could. Interesting test for sure

[@AndyCotino]

How secure is the Remarkable Cloud, is it safe enough to sync confidential company files?

[@morningcoach]

Great questions a lot of companies are blocking it -

[@ZazaBaker]

Great review! Thank you!

[@morningcoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrCalitoz26]

I placed my order on September 20th... I still haven't received it. Any idea on how long it takes for it to arrive?

[@troychurch4055]

I placed mine on September 7 and received the device at my door on September 30th. Just for reference.

[@MrCalitoz26]

@troychurch4055 thank you brother.

[@bankguy2900]

I wonder if the annoying refresh on color will be (can be) fixed in a future software release.

[@morningcoach]

I don’t think it can. It doesn’t bother me that bad. I think it’s the way the technology works. It has a refresh. They have to refresh it for the speed aspect from what I understand. That’s what Voya said. Honestly don’t use it much use the highlighter that’s primarily what I use which it works good for me. Not sure what the current tech if they can do much about it.

[@mollymo6229]

Is it good for reading pdf? I have loads of reading coming up for a master program I study for part time plus full time job.

[@morningcoach]

I would not say this is NOT my favorite reading device, but unfortunately, it works there are better readers....you may look at a BOOX device but they are tougher....

[@youtubelearning2990]

Hopefully, it’s just a software issue and it could be updated but the latency at times gets annoying on the pro 2

[@DHOOPER29]

Can it sync with "Microsoft One Note"?

[@morningcoach]

I don't think so. We don't use OneNote, and I have not yet integrated it into our systems. I need to do some research as I believe BOOX is the only device that may work. Great question. I get this a lot - I know iPad or Samsung tablet, but I do need to research this - thanks for the question

[@christophergreyskull7344]

I currently work in locations without internet access for a few weeks at a time. Would i still be able to utilize most of the functions and templates without being synced to internet? I would primarily be using this to take notes for later reference. Thanks for the video!

[@morningcoach]

Yes you would it would synch once you are back on the internet

Does anyone know if I can use the RMPP pen on the RM2?

[@morningcoach]

No - they are two different devices rMPP is Active and RM2 is not FYI

[@DigiDriftZone]

I was hoping the contrast would be better, even on the RM2 the contrast is good but could be better. The yellow tinge and yellow smearing after refresh is also a bit off putting. It's a nice device but not quite the same WOW factor as the RM2 was when it came out.

[@reida05]

So, is it yellowish like a soft white bulb?

[@DigiDriftZone]

@@reida05 no, like a mustard stain on a piece of paper from a hotdog :)

[@reida05]

​@@DigiDriftZoneyou know how to make someone question their life choices as they are about to check out

[@DigiDriftZone]

@@reida05 I know how you feel, I too had it in my basket but after a bit more research I'm having second thoughts. I'm not too excited about the dark blue instead of black ink, or the fact you get yellow smears/artefacts on page turns, or that it's largely slower because of the extra refreshing, or the reduced contrast, or the blue backlight with no warm option. I am also getting a bit frustrated with my reMarkable2's lack of full text search, inability to link between pages/documents, inability to export highlights or even just tagged pages, I also would've hoped for 300ppi resolution but it's still 227. I'm currently leaning towards waiting for the new upcoming SuperNote, sure there's no backlight or colour, but apparently very good contrast, resolution, performance and great notes search/organisation features.

[@reida05]

​@@DigiDriftZoneright now, my base level is a surface pro 8. I want something specifically for taking notes, annotating PDFs and PPTs, and using color but I'm not a fan of the writing on glass feeling. My writing is more legible on paper, but I'm determined to not carry notebooks or paper.

[@SyedShoaib]

I saw your Remarkable Paper Pro Review, and I was disappointed that as a writer you didn’t share what it meant to do long writing projects on the RPP. Of course, we aren’t going to do revisions or collaboration on the RPP, but THE prospect for building that first draft of a monograph. As one of the few reviewers who use the type folio, I would quite like to learn that.

[@morningcoach]

That would rock I will look into that - I use Ulysses and my iPad (Mac) for structuring. I have never used the Rm or rMPP for long projects. I structure and then write on the Mac, iPad, Freewrite and last rMPP so it just a first draft for me. I copy and paste into Ulysses so I write with what I have with me and structure there. :) Thanks for that ask! It is kind of like the Freewrite just nice to type on then move into the structure.

[@SyedShoaib]

@@morningcoach Thanks. I have been a Ulysses user myself. But recently have discovered the type folio on RM2 to be a relatively distraction free writing environment. But I wonder if the larger real estate of RPP presents an advantage. Or if the relatively dull (less contrast) screen of RPP becomes somewhat uninspiring. Have been searching KZbin for those insights, but they do not exist (yet).

[@morningcoach]

@@SyedShoaib Great discussion topic. I am going to have to experiment. I just haven't been using it except for base writing. I am not sure but let me work back to it. I would agree just don't know organizationally how it would work. Folders maybe into each section and write your chapters. Let me play with it. Thanks for asking!

[@anupchugani6366]

Are handwritten notes searchable on this device?

[@jensmander4137]

No

[@steve-wright-uk]

No - But I email the notes that I want searchable to Evenote which can search handwritten notes. Evernote has just introduced image-to-text conversion for iamges. I'm hoping that in the near future that it will do the same for images within PDFs as their OCR ability is much better than RM.

[@morningcoach]

I would recommend using tags on your notes, their searchable and it works out really good

[@morningcoach]

That’s a great idea

[@George2647g]

Never thought I’d find a channel by Phil Dunphy’s Dad but here we are..

[@morningcoach]

Well, thank you. I’m very proud of Phil and his personal life 🤣🤣👊🏼👊🏼

[@rhproductions4932]

Everything else from the review aside, the technology for color e-ink displays is so fascinating to me. Kinda like the science behind printer ink most people don't understand how cool it is haha!

[@Spokenfan]

They are both really nice 👏🏼. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️🇺🇸🦬

[@Minusnotyou]

Just found your channel and appreciate your comparisons. I have the RM2 and waiting for the Pro to arrive.

[@morningcoach]

Thank you glad you found us!

[@larrymarso4492]

significant step down in readability. blue-black on drab gray. tepid, anemic front light, only bright enough to see in the dark. it doesn't bring up the contrast in modest lighting conditions. i think this device has narrow practical use cases that prioritize reading color PDFs and sketching in watercolor-washed-out pastels. maybe the comic book obsessed. it makes no sense as a primarily b&w device with so many compromises. buy a good desk lamp.

[@morningcoach]

Wow, you really hate it - I love it - as a primary planning device, I think it is fantastic. I don't sketch, or do anything remotely art worthy. Use the highlighter maybe once in awhile. That is what is great about tech, all about use case. Thanks Larry as always, hopefully, they will get something for you. It is funny I cannot even fathom using a BOOX device I hate their software, heck don't like Android at all. LOL so subjective. I wonder if there will ever be a major investment in this product category. I don't think, say, Apple will get in. There are probably less than 5 million units sold across everything. I mean, RM only sold 2 million. Hell, there are probably less than 3 million e-ink units today. There is no money for major tech. We will have to wait and see. Thanks, as always. Have a great week. I LOVE opposite thoughts here. I appreciate it. BTW I wonder what Supernote will come up with?

[@larrymarso4492]

@@morningcoach yeah, i hate it. in fact your video does a much better job than others showing the difference between the screen readability on the RM2. you put them alongside each other in a typical lighting situation where I find the RMPP literally painful to use. like reading an old paperback on drab paper in poor light. just hurts the eyes, and brightening it with a desk lamp is difficult, you need a powerful bulb and put up with glare. i think this fails in the marketplace. they really botched the front light, which might have redeemed the hardware.

[@morningcoach]

@@larrymarso4492 funny I do like it but needs light. I have studio lighting in my office so it’s bright but you make solid points. It doesn’t bother me that much but could see how it could.
