Remarkable 2 Review - Save $$$ | The Best Accessories

I always liked the Remarkable 2 but it was just too expensive to justify the purchase. I found the best and cheapest way to buy it and set it up with case and magnetic pen. Check it out. Watch

Why do you say you're saving "half" when a refurbished tablet is literally only $20 cheaper?

[@DigiDriftZone]

My thoughts exactly...

[@enristory]

Youre right. I got confused when making the video. You really only save on the accessories.

[@secretbeach999]

@@enristory No worries

[@DigiDriftZone]

​@@enristory Indeed and after trying a few different cases and pens from third parties I did end up buying the original reMarkable ones which are way nicer. It's not a cheap device with the accessories, but it's the one I keep going back to. I also have a Kindle Scribe and an iPad Air but the reMarkable is the one that really helps me focus and think.

[@enristory]

@@DigiDriftZone agreed. Most times you pay for what you get; I havent used the remarkable accessories but I bet theyre better quality. I my case, Im still satisfied with a cheap pen and case and would rather spend $$ on a good camera or lens. Which I probably don't even need LOL

Once you import from google drive and mark up the doc, it will show back in the drive as a pdf. Not as useful for some items but if you need signatures on paper work without a printer is okay.

[@aalfonso4706]

Great to see a lefty using this, i want to buy one and was wondering if the manh could be moved to the other side.

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Yeah, I ordered my reMark last week (refurb cause WHO is gonna pay full price!) I got my Kindle refurbished to for like $80 way back when and It's still good! I get a $30 pen (though I have a wacom pad (for digital art, lets hope I can use those nibs) If the nibs fit, I saved myself some more there cause I don't do digital art as much. I go through phases, D. Art, Physical art, writing, them reading. filming.. 24/7 isn't enough to do everything a person wants to do. 8hrs spent at work and another 8 hrs spent at a job. UGH! Mean while my cat and dog is living the life at home looking out the window, licking and scratching.

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Yeah, I know what you mean about not wanting to take notes on your phone. When I was in the Army I would tell my supervisor "I am taking notes, please don't think I am being disrespectful." I wasn't trying to get smoked! (push ups)

[@guilhermepietro7178]

Unfortunately they took it away the option to buy it without the pen, and raised the price! I had finally managed to get $300 to buy it but when I went to go buy it I got confronted with that 400+ dollar tag, such a shame it was already too expensive!

[@QualquerCoisa387]

The best pen replacement is the "Staedler Noris Jumbo" pen. The "Staedler Mars Lumograph Digital" is also good. Both have NO magnet, but erasers on the top. But, they are the best choice.

[@sidx001]

Great video, really enjoyed your perspective on the Remarkable 2! One thing of note, not sure if someone else mentioned it in a comment, but you can get the integration for the Remarkable 2 for access to your Google drive. You can export your files there and bring files down. It's handy! Thanks again for the video!

[@gregc3255]

How often you really use it will drastically affect how long you can go between charging. They claim 2 weeks on the website. No way. I use mine throughout the day (not every once and a while) and turn if off at night when I'm not using it to save the battery. I'm good for 4 1/2 days. Also, don't charge with a wall charger unless it's one that limits the current, or it further reduces battery life.

[@enristory]

That makes sense. I don’t use nearly that often. I think I’m going on week 3 or 4 now again without a charge. Still at 60%

[@leskibledelgaming8195]

@gregc3255 could u recommend me a suitable charger on Amazon?

[@amrshabaka5567]

Great video. I believe it supports EPUB in addition to PDF

[@enristory]

ah thanks. That's true.

[@freman75]

Can you convert your kindle books into pdf?

[@enristory]

You can find the pdf versions and load them into Remarkable

[@revdancatt]

Love my ReMarkable, use it all day, every day, really like that does one job really well. Nice video (and nice to see left-handed mode works too).

[@enristory]

Oh! I didn't even think about the left hand. Good Catch!

[@ivvie1452]

Hi! Could u tell me if when you type up a text in the Remarkable and save it can you go back and edit that text? I want one these types of devices to work on stories but that means a lot of editing. I returned Boox air3 because it won't let me edit.

[@luwanda03]

Any idea when Remarkable 3 will be out?

[@DigiDriftZone]

Nobody knows but it is 4 years old now and showing it's age, no automatic wake/sleep when you open the case, resolution is pretty low, the bottom chin is quite large, the performance is quite poor - with all this said I still love mine and use it daily. Should something happen to it, I will repurchase another one immediately :)

[@jfernandez7176]

Thank you for saving me several hundred dollars. ❤

[@DirtyPlumbus]

They've already changed their website to screw people out of buying a reasonably priced refurbished product. 🤣

[@Balefulmoon]

Damn, son, great vid. I think I'm going to buy one.

[@shawngee1]

Thanks for the review, but half the cost? Only saves you $20.

[@enristory]

True! Sorry. I realized I didn’t communicate that correctly after I finished the video. I was comparing the pricing of buying all the accessories through reMarkable, versus just getting the tablet. Yes, the $20 is insignificant. However, everything looks brand new, in the original packaging if you buy it refurbished.

[@shawngee1]

@@enristory oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying. Appreciate the review!

[@adizzzleV3]

Find a referral link with a google search and get the refurbished. 40 off from the link and what 20 from the refurbished. I paid 250 exactly for the tablet

[@Alexchii]

How much did remarkable pay you for this ad? They've really increased their marketing budget the past month

[@diotitus]

What do you mean?

[@leftfootdown]

Why would they pay him to sponsor products that aren't theirs 😅

[@genemontano432]

Do you have link to the pen

[@enristory]

Oops. Forgot to include in description: Wacom One Pen: a.co/d/bHwdJWZ

[@genemontano432]

Thx

[@timepiece_enthusiast]

Great video, but the device itself is overpriced imo. Speaking in Euros, the want 349 for the Remarkable 2, so far so good, but then charging 130 for the pen and 159 (!) for the folio is horrendously high, even if you pick the polymer folio instead of the leather one it’s still 99 euros, all of this adds up quickly and when fully specced out, you end up with a 637 euro device that can’t do all that much aside from note taking and even though it’s specialised in that task, the screen holds it back from feeling like actually writing on paper since there’s a slight input lag which you won’t notice as much on an iPad Pro with it’s 120hz display. Overall I personally think that I prefer the iPad Pro since it’s so much more than just a digital notebook and for the price Remarkable is asking for their product you might as well just get an iPad Air or standard iPad with an Apple Pencil, at least if you want a device that can do more than just scribbling, except if you truly just want something to take notes and are fine with the imo unjustifiably high price, especially when it comes to the accessories. Like I said, great video though!

[@enristory]

Yes, I agree. I think it’s definitely overpriced if you buy everything from reMarkable. Check out the accessories in the description. They work really well with the tablet. And are much cheaper. But just the fact that I can go two weeks without charging, it makes sense to me. Maybe we can have both. The reMarkable just for writing, and the iPad for fancier stuff.

[@timepiece_enthusiast]

@@enristory yeah, the battery life is definitely a fair point to make for an e-ink device, that's for sure.

[@ayanbarua2400]

No epub reading?!!

[@kustomkure]

As an Air Note 3 user I was noping the whole video. Books in pdf only - nope. I gotta buy a magnetic pen separately - nope, no export - nope, subscription - HELL NAW
