iPad vs reMarkable Paper Pro

[@Change-1820]

Always appreciate your point of view and thanks for stopping by our livestream the other day. I agree with you that I don't see e-ink as a Primary device but would say that it could be, in some cases, the primary tablet. For me, I use the Supernote, my phone, and PC. I also use Obsidian with the Supernote Plug-in. It is so cool to see how people find their own version of productivity.

[@morningcoach]

That was awesome - I love to see people putting out great information - KZbin can be challenging, so I love to support everyone any way I can. :) Thanks for the comment!

[@AIandVisuals]

I always appreciate your videos and your views on these devices. Great stuff.

[@morningcoach]

Thank you appreciate the support!

[@STORYOFPV]

A great review and answer to this common question, thank you

[@Deychana1]

I agree with your points explained in the video. Personally, I have tried using the iPad Pro to plan days, record all notes, and journal on and off for over 5 years. The longest I lasted this way is about 3 weeks at a time. I don’t consistently use this device as a paper replacement because I ultimately think of the iPad as being a computer and when I want “computer-free” days (eg after work, on vacations/holidays, weekends), then it means I’m not checking my notes or journaling regularly. Also if I leave the notes app open with the screen on the entire day, then the battery drains to 20% by the end of the day. I occasionally went back to paper but when I did, I missed being able to search and tags notes. I find it a hassle to transfer some notes to new notebooks and once I store a full notebook, I don’t revisit it until it’s time to declutter or clean out the closet. All to say, I order my first e-ink notebook from Remarkable this month. I actually just became aware of and learned about this e-ink category very recently. I wish I knew about these e-ink notebooks years ago!

[@morningcoach]

I love it. Thanks for the comments; please update me on how you like it. Appreciate the comment :)

[@Spokenfan]

I would love to have either one lol. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼. Please pray for us here in Central Florida. Stay safe healthy and happy 🙏✝️🇺🇸🦬

[@morningcoach]

I will I have a place in Delray and spent 30 years full time in South Florida so I know what you are going through - sending prayers and thoughts!

Here is my frustration with the Remarkable Paper Pro. As you say, it's not practical as a primary device, which makes the cost--upwards of $700 or even $800 with a folio--feel impractical as even a secondary device. I love the RM2, and would prefer the RMPP with higher resolution and backlight, but I simply can't bring myself to press the order button when the cost is hundreds more than Boox Go or potentially the new Supernote device. How do you justify the cost to yourself?

[@morningcoach]

SOLID comment - for me, these are business devices, so I consider them tools. It would be hard to justify if I wasn't a consultant/coach - ie.. business owner. However, as a business owner, the ROI is on efficiency and dollars produced via the tool. I get what you are saying. I budget computer and tech changes every 2 years, but I am not a start-up; I have been in business for 20 years. So have a different outlook on a lot of tech. If that makes sense. Thanks for the comment, and I can understand that for sure.

[@Pegleg04]

@@morningcoach Yeah, I think that's reasonable. Quantifying a ROI for something like this is tricky, because part of the value is just liking the device and finding it fun to use, but I agree that it's pretty much necessary for it to provide a unique function in your work in order to feel good about the decision. Thanks, and I enjoy what you're putting out.

[@morningcoach]

I agree, I always say it is an individual use case that is the key. I appreciate you supporting the channel and the comment. This means a lot. I have a super week and more to come some good, some bad I am sure heheh - thanks

[@petainaja3753]

I had the same problem and I bought a used remarkable device. it helps me solve the cost problem haha

[@tangosix5779]

can you present a video regarding students at university use cases for your planner, Remarkable tablet, Plaude and the iPad? Would combing these systems be effective for studying? Most importantly, would the remarkable work for students having to retrieve past notes for studying?

[@shayanfazeli8211]

I love your energy sir, keep on keeping on

[@morningcoach]

Thank you

[@stanislavnikolov3581]

I like the video, and even more the idea coming with it. Great ! Thank you!

[@davidr1431]

Please could you send link to where you get your energy from. Not crazy unbelievable over the top energy, just nice positive focused energy. I need it!!!

Hahahaha 55 day by day…. Some days are better than others appreciated. 👊🏼👊🏼🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@larklandmorley]

I do believe with going for the combo IPad + Remarkable (Pro or 2). Boox devices does have flexibility with loading apps but then the premium apps available on Ipad does not work on Android. The pen support for most apps are not there on Android either. Two key points; 1. Boox could do better to simplify workflows, not just apps and 2. Remarkable could do better with integrations; for example, allow typing directly on google docs (I believe freewrite and drafts app allows this), I love the directory structure and tagging on the remarkable.

[@marcojuliangrishaber]

How do you integrate your remarkable with your PARA system? One point keeps me away from buying an RM is the missing of global search and the lack of sync to Apple Notes as far as I am aware of.

[@morningcoach]

I will do a video on this, but I do numbers - and then use PARA - 1 - 4 works great and keeps me very organized. I also have Apple Notes and Google Notes in PARA format, and no the device is SOLO I don't mix and match - I currently only use my RmPP as my planner so it is very limited with notes. My primary short and base notes are in Apple, and long notes years of notes in Google. ReMarkable is 100% planning and organization - and I use it as such like an old Covey Planner and it is very effective, life is amazing :) Keeps everything nice and simple. iPad and Computer for everything other then planning.

[@oliverkopp7030]

​@@morningcoach I discovered SkedPal for planning; maybe this makes the RM obsolete?

[@oliverkopp7030]

Could you link the video on the note pen for PLAUDE? Maybe I understood something wrong...

[@CH-eg5rd]

I entered the e-ink market about 2 weeks ago when i bought RM2. I dont own a iPad/tablet. The color of RMPP is nice, but it seems more like a subpar tablet than a distinct notetaking/reader e-ink device. If i needed color and a front light to the point of accepting something that was bigger than RM2, thicker, and heavier then I probably would have gone with an actual tablet.

[@morningcoach]

I think that is a good call, I am going back to my rM2 a lot more, I like the size and what I use it for planning and notes. I do like the rMPP but the rM2 is still one of my favs - nothing wrong with it.

[@JohnJohnson-oq6ck]

Can you explain how to use each device more?

[@morningcoach]

For for sure I’ll be doing a lot of videos. I have a few on my site now, but I appreciate the support. I tend to put up a video almost every day and some tutorial videos on each of the devices. Thanks for the suggestion plus we have our free planner at MorningCoach.com.

[@nirvana9900]

Can I put on an iPad 10th gen on the remarkable paper pro?

[@morningcoach]

No the RmPP is run on Linux operating system, iPad is on MacIOS - so 2 different software systems

[@nirvana9900]

@@morningcoach thank you. Maybe you could suggest cases for the Remarkable pro that are budget friendly and have more utility than the one on the actual website. I’d love one with a stand and stuff like that.

[@rgsr5244]

Well said. That's the problem that I have with most of the Boox devices. With the exception of the Go10.3, it seems like they're trying to become the "best of both worlds", something they will never achieve. Either try and become the best PAPER REPLACEMENT (rM or Supernote) or the best "Computer on the Go" Replacement (iPad or Tab....or even an iPhone !!). However I truly believe that RATTA and REMARKABLE have a lot of work to do, especially when it comes to breaking down the barriers between some software aimed at making Note-taking easier (Word, for example)...and THAT'S where a Boox Go 10.3, for example, excels.

[@morningcoach]

I agree - that is what makes it so hard with these devices, they have a long way to go to be a "tablet".... thanks for the comment

[@Vortexstreet]

Excuse my ignorance but what is the ipad in the showcase? 13 inch ipad air 2024?

[@morningcoach]

Yes, I use the 13 inch iPad M4. It’s a little over kill but is an amazing device. The hardware is unbelievable if they could just catch up the software, it literally could be a computer, but they handicap it because they don’t wanna cannibalize their Mac sales..

[@Vortexstreet]

@@morningcoach Thank you for your replay! I was just interested to see the size difference. You are the first reviewer I've seen had a side-by-side comparison between RMPP and 13 inch ipad. So they have almost the same size in form factor but RMPP has a smaller screen display because of the wide white chin at the bottom. I realize screen size is what I care the most after using RM2 and RMPP. I do not own an ipad but if I were to buy one, 13inch is what I need I think.

[@JohnJohnson-oq6ck]

Excellent post

[@morningcoach]

Many many thanks

[@SrikanthPRABHA7]

Can we read Kindle Books on Repamarkable Paper Pro?

[@jessicamax4196]

You cannot. The rM doesn't have apps.

[@morningcoach]

Thanks for jumping in!

[@SrikanthPRABHA7]

@@morningcoach thanks. With less features I don’t understand why it’s so expensive? I haven’t tried but I hope the writing experience is good? I wish someone develops a Matt paper like screen for iPad to mimic e-ink experience

[@user-rt1yd3pc9w]

I use a Kindle Scribe in conjunction with an iPad, not as a replacement. The Scribe is used for reading at night and making journal notes in bed. On the Scribe I can read black and white Kindle books or uploaded pdfs; and I can take notes on a surface which is nicer to write on than an iPad. Also I sleep better if I avoid using an iPad at night. But the Scribe could never fully replace my iPad for several reasons - I have a good collection of Kindle, Apple and Kobo art books with loads of colour illustrations and images. They look awful on the Kindle Scribe, and I suppose also on a Remarkable PP. As well, I have a nice collection of quality fountain pens, and I try to write each day with one of them. I chuckle when I think of an e-ink device trying to be a replacement for the joy of a fountain pen on quality paper. For what it does, the Kindle Scribe is excellent. But it (and probably the Remarkable) shouldn’t be compared to the mighty iPad.

[@morningcoach]

Yes great comments the Scribe is perfect and I am a pen guy too, you can't compare paper and pen to ANY of these devices. Great comments

[@lepetitroi007]

There are paper-like screen protectors that are very good but cheap.

[@mohammadahmed1629]

I have a Boox Go 10.3 and use it alongside my Samsung Tab S8 Ultra. The Go is an excellent reader, and I also use it to annotate pdfs. Its hard to justify spending double the money on the RMPP just for color but then being limited on what apps can be used. Also, I disagree that Boox devices are anywhere near as complicated as people make them out to be! The ability to download certain apps just makes life so much easier, for eg I study arabic language so having a english to arabic dictionary on it means I dont need to use my phone when working, plus the Go 10.3 has a great writing feel too. I won't be gettting rid of my Tab S8 anytime soon though

[@morningcoach]

It’s funny I’m getting ready to do a Boox Go video on just this - that if you’re looking for a reader, then it’s perfect…. Perfect use case for you

[@ninoskids1232]

This comparison is like comparing a Toyota to a Lamborghini, it makes no sense.

[@morningcoach]

Yep - that was a point of the video, but the problem is a lot of people buy these devices and expect them to be iPads… 1000% not even close especially the hardware in the M4 if Apple would get it together and allow us to put put a little little better OS on it it could be a computer…

[@jaynine]

More like a tractor and a car. One is a workhorse for specific jobs. The other can do a variety of exciting things but lacks specialization. IMO.

[@BadMannerKorea]

6:40 On one hand, whatever works for you, but your system is too complex for really no reason, with all these devices lol. You spent minutes just talking about how your system works. At the end you sum it up and say buy both devices and then use third party tools for note taking. Like come on, this is not efficient.
