Two things I’m curious about Kit: - how does the screen surface compare to the R2? I know it’s a new material - how does this fit into the lineup? Do you expect a R3?

I usually avoid reviews from tech channels like wired, tech crunch and look for real people like yourself who have used prior products and provide real world insights into the products they use. Thanks :)

[@truecuckoo]

I appreciate this video, man! I think I could probably never really accept that refresh flickering. I hope there’ll be a future where e-ink just magically works with zero flickering and lag. It is comfortable to look at, feel and draw and write on after all.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

@@truecuckoo cheers Buddy, appreciate you taking the time to comment. You're right, I think this is one for the e-ink lovers at this point! 🙂

[@MaurilioCardoso-c9b]

I believe there are solutions to solve the flickering and slowness, but this will probably increase the price drastically and make it impossible to sell to end users. Especially considering the tablet's features. Just like you, I would probably never accept these "features" (refresh flickering) either. 😂

[@BanherSandhu]

@truecuckoo & @MaurilioCardoso-c9b & @KittBetts-Masters the thing i need to share, is you have to appreciate the slowness and flickering is from an camera. There is a big difference between viewing via naked eyes and camera. It has a 100 days return policy. So if interested one can give it a go, without any monetary loss. I really loved it. Thank you

[@beatsntoons]

I'm with you. Love e-ink, but that performance is just not acceptable for me

[@mbsgt112]

Thanks so much. This gives an accurate idea of what we can expect of the device. Honestly watching the RM advertisement video I was suspicious at how good it looks. Looking at these reviews I am not sure wether it is an upgrade that I am willing to spend the money on. The refresh and the flashing looks quite distracting.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yes, it's not quite, distraction free is it!?

[@johansmolinski]

Finally a review from one who paid for it. Thanks! I'm waiting for mine to arrive, but I am not sure I will keep it. Though after this review, I think I will. Looks like the main issues are pretty overcomable.

[@doktorfaustus]

I received mine today too, also a day ahead of their initial delivery estimate. Some notes: • The screen is noticeably darker than monochrome eInk tablets, including rM2, though not perhaps as dark as a Kaleido 3. The frontlight is almost a must for reading in anything but optimal lighting conditions. • The screen size is a nice boon. Even though it is only an inch and a half larger diagonally, I have already noticed that large-format PDFs are easier to review. • Notepads that synced from my rM2 did not get expanded in text size. Rather, in cases in which I had filled a lined template page with handwriting, the Paper Pro showed the same writing, but the template extended a few blank lines further than the original. Handwriting and template lines all lined up. You may not have noticed on the quick example you examined, because the handwriting extended beyond the bottom of the original page (with the scrolling feature). In short, Paper Pro gives you a couple extra lines, but at roughly the same scale. One thing you may want to test for your viewers, which I will be testing myself, is how reMarkable handles syncing documents between multiple devices if you leave one open on e.g. your rM2 and then open the same notebook on PP. They sidestepped this issue when introducing the rM2 for users of the original reMarkable by only allowing one device to be logged into an account at a time. Now the Connect subscription permits 3 devices on the same account, so I wonder how it will juggle notebooks that might be open on multiple devices simultaneously.

[@adamreisnz]

For someone who has never used such a device, would you recommend the new remarkable pro, or the RM2? Use case is primarily note taking.

@@Equinoxious342 Nobody needs to burn hundreds of dollars on a device that does not fit their needs, and since it is much harder to test one of these in person than say, an iPad, it can be difficult to make that determination in advance. Fortunately, reMarkable has a very flexible return policy.

Immediate Questions: 1. Handwriting to text and specifically: Math related handwritten equations to text feature (all the special symbols and recognition of that and exporting it into other documents); you as a physics teacher should know what I'm talking about and can hopefully elaborate. OneNote on Microsoft does it fairly well, but the Surface Pro lineup and their pens and palm rejection on OneNote is terrible for a $1500 device. 2. Left handedness features. Is the X still really easy to hit as a left hander to cancel out of apps? Did they actually change the UI to help lefties or are we left out in the dark (pun intended). Was everything rotated or switched over to the other side so there's literal equivalent for lefties? 3. General import/export of documents and changing of formats. Is there a third party app equivalent to ReadEra on the Android? 4. Touch UI and palm touch rejection. Do I need to write with my hand off the slab? I generally find that so uncomfortable. 5. Battery life with real world life usage. Thanks for your time and awesome reviews!

[@kylewils524]

Ive just purchased one and loved seeing and hearing your completely unbiased review. I'll be using mine just as I'd use a notepad for work so HOPEFULLY the screen refresh won't be too offputting. Great video. :)

[@VidMashUp]

Thank God you are finally getting this tablet! I've been waiting for an honest hands-on review and the very first thing you said was my main concern and a deal breaker for me. Not having true blacks is a non-starter for me, although it may not be for some. But everywhere I've mentioned it, people say it's not true. I'm glad to have you as my go-to for unbiased information.

[@satyak1337]

These tablets have low-speed processors, small storage, and limited RAM. They don't pay Google or Android for licenses, and they offer fewer apps. E-ink displays are cheaper than OLED. So what's driving up the $629 cost of these devices? Hardware-wise, they are 2x more expensive than an iPad.

[@cube2fox]

The new E Ink Gallery 3 screen without subpixels is almost certainly more expensive than an OLED screen.

[@FabriSlv]

By far the best hands on video I've seen on the new remarkable, it's not all perfect, and maybe it's a slightly less focused device than the 2 was, but it's still a damn good e ink tablet. I'd say I'm happy with my Boox, if it wasn't that the screen broke and the support never replied -.-"

[@JillRhoads]

I so agree that once you go over to a pen-based tablet that works, you never go back! I too am a physics teacher and LOVE that I can have all my books with me instead of having to carry a literal TON of them between work and home.

Thanks! Nice to see a candid take. The flashing does look realllllly distracting, this will be my first e-ink device, hopefully it’s not too off-putting 😅. From comparison videos it seems the screen is a bit of an off-white as well, I’d probably rather B&W with whiter display, better resolution etc than flashing colors

[@glazedbelmont]

As always, amazing video. I'm personally not in the market for an e-ink note taking device (my only device is a Go Color 7) but I'm always hyped of watching reviews about them. They're interesting devices for sure and seeing a new technology getting into a device is always good (outside of the Bigme Galy)

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, digital paper is a fascinating area to get into! Great start with the Go Colour 7!

[@RobertWEaston]

Can you give us a close look at the text rendering in PDFs? From the glances you did give it looks pretty rough. Definitely not as sharp or smooth as on other devices. I don't mind the flashing so much, but text being hard to read is a deal breaker.

[@emadmoussa2576]

First time I used an e-ink device was in 2018 (Boox 13 inch), was taken aback by the flashing. But soon enough it was the device I exclusively used to do all my PhD readings, annotating and organising. It savid me time and a few boxes of paper. And, like you, especially after RM2, I'm struggling to readjust to normal note taking, certainly as I work as a writer and editor.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Cheers! Yep, can't go back to paper now.

When reading color pdf, when flipping page, waiting those flashing/flickering to settle down annoying? How does it compared to black and white in this regard? And how good does the shadows disappear after changing page? These are most important factors to consider

What a great review! One day I hope I can take the plunge on something like this but for now, the flashing, the lagging between pages and any scrolling, and the general sluggishness would be more distracting for me than alerts from a tablet which is what I'm desperate to avoid.

[@johnflynn3394]

Thank you for the honest review, good to hear some of the cons as well as the pros. There have been too many paid puff pieces for this device from big name tech KZbinrs. I recently "downgraded" from the Note Air 3 C to the Go 10.3 which is perfect for my needs as I use e-ink primarily for notes and the colour screen did not add much for me. The Paper Pro would have to be something wonderful to justify the extra cost for me, and while it is early days I am not convinced.

[@bobharlsey7940]

I just purchased a REM 2 in this last month and I can return it. I really like it. I wish it had a backlight. I have one of the REM Pro on order but it hasn’t shipped.

Is the backlight good for low light and dark environments?

Fantastic review, keep on going like this. I love that you bought it yourself and so you are free to review it yourself.

[@seabird3896]

I've had my Remarkable2 for a couple years and got it's type folio a little while ago. It works perfectly fine for my needs (writing my book/research notes/journal/a random sketch every now and then), and honestly see no need to get the Pro right now. It's basically just a bigger RM2 but with colour, and almost 2x the price. I love the RM2 size it fits perfectly in all my bags lol, if I got the Pro it probs wouldn't fit. I do like that it has back lighting as an option but most of the time I have a light source nearby anyway, though I could see myself using it. Maybe in the future if they roll out some updates and lower the price I'd go for it just because I love my RM2 and wouldn't mind a faster version. Hopefully by then they have some different colours for the type folio too 😁 Definitely appreciate the truly honest review!

[@JoesStyle]

They added a technique to allow drawing straight lines by pausing at the beginning of the stroke or the end of the stroke than adjusting where you want it before lifting the pen.

Thanks for the more balanced, not blindly overhyped review. PDFs are very important to me because I read a lot of technical papers, and I’ve been using the boox go 10.3. In this device I can modify the letters and contrast to make it look the best possible. I have a kindle scribe also and PDF performance was not very good, words looked too white, and changing the contrast ruined the pictures. Is the RM better to read PDF than these alternatives, or it does look too bright like the scribe? Thanks!

[@orangeswell1469]

The line wobble, yellowing, and color flashing have me rethinking my purchase. I'll probably try mine for week when it arrives, and then make the call after if I want to keep it. 😬

[@Matt-pm7jy]

For me it’s all about note taking. I want a fast device, maximal paper feel and the big screen but I don’t care about colour… Is it possible to put the paper pro in black and white mode to reduce/eliminate that flashing?

Completely agree with other comments. Most candid review and best review so far! Thank you so much for the great content! Question: if you were someone who didn’t mind too much about having colour and the backlight, would you choose the RM2 over the Paper Pro? Or is there enough of an improvement in the writing between RM2 and the Paper Pro that you would still choose Paper Pro?

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Difficult one. If money was no object, I'd probably still go for the pro, because it's only flickering when in colour mode. So colour would be an occasional nice to have. But yeah, if you want to get a great tablet at half the price, there are plenty of options for black and white or colour.

[@deltics735]

Thanks for the review; still waiting for mine to arrive (ordered on day of release). A long-time rM2 user I also have a BOOX Note Air3C - rM2 is my digital notebook, the Air3C is my eInk productivity tablet and kindle (Journal, ToDos etc). The Kaleido screen on the Air3C is a step-up from the Note 2+ I had previously, but it demands such a lot of front-light to be comfortable to use, even in a well lit room, that the battery life penalty is a really annoyance, especially given the idiotic placement of the USB-C port for charging (on the “spine”). I wasn’t expecting miracles with the Gallery screen, and I’m optimistic that the “flashing” will become background noise in much the same way that the “annoying ghosting” quickly did when first getting used to eInk in general. The screen otherwise looks phenomenal - the clarity, contrast and brightness/saturation and intensity of the colours all still look like a step-change from Kaleido. Also, I was a little worried when you mentioned “yellow burn-in” in a previous video and - having placed my order - my heart skipped a beat when you pointed out the “burn in” on your device in this video. It was a huge relief when I realised that the “burn in” you were talking about seems to be what most people call “ghosting” in relation to eInk displays, i.e. which clears on a full refresh. The lack of an on-demand refresh is no biggie for me. The Air3C has it and suffers quite badly from ghosting, but in the past year with that tablet I wouldn’t need to take my socks off to count the number of times I felt the need to manually refresh. :) My only concern w.r.t the active stylus is the battery life. The stylus on my rM2 is not only a great device in it’s own right, but also a fidget toy. Even when not taking notes I’ll be playing with the stylus while thinking or doing other work, and often will just leave it on the desk next to the tablet, rather than attached. Not a problem with an EMR stylus which doesn’t need charging, but I am concerned that with the active stylus I’ll need to be more diligent about replacing it to keep it charged ready for use (and the impact this will have on battery life of the tablet itself - that power doesn’t come from thin air after all!). Overall I’m still excited, though perhaps with better calibrated expectations now, courtesy of this overview. Thanks!

[@k.zenith2983]

What it’s the writing feel most similar to? Apple Pencil on iPad, HoM on Feelwrite2 or on pre-FW2 Supernote, RM2?

[@rjsheffer2]

Going with the USI standard takes the sting out of it not being EMR if one loses one's pen. Since those USi standard pens are pretty darn reasonable in terms of cost.

[@sprockkets]

Interesting find. Is that what most others use? Seems that way.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Yeah, the USI ones I tried did not work as well as the rM marker though, so I think to their credit they have done some tweaking of the standard. (Or maybe just made it so only their own works as it is supposed to, because those pens work well on the pixel tablet for example.)

[@rhaduuu]

Really curious how do you fell about the zoom. I'm interested if it's decent for mind maps. Start at 3x zoom and you have a bigger canvas

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Great idea! I'll try and feature that in the live.

[@JaredWyns]

I'd be curious to see layer performance & how much it can really handle. One issue on my Remarkable 2 is that for really in-depth technical drawings, it takes upwards of a minute to load them up if there's a lot of detail. Thoughts based on the video- I was going to insta-buy this in the next couple months, but I'm now similarly torn. I like the idea of adding colour, but I could just as easily just export and finish sketches in Rebelle 7 Pro on my PC. I use mine predominantly for sketching so the flashing is extremely distracting- I'm unsure if the trade-off would be worth it there. I found the previous size perfect as well, so they're not gaining a lot with the bigger size since Zooming in was fine previously. As an artist, the wobble and the fact the pen needs to be charged makes it nearly an immediate no. While I do appreciate the colour accuracy, if it's going to be flashing like an annoying sign on every stroke or interaction it's not going to be very appealing. It seems like the Canvas color screen needs more work. Currently I'd say the jury's out on this one.. I'll have to look at more reviews/videos to see if I'm willing to invest in this next level and see what else is currently on market. Ideally, I want something that's fast, excellent battery life, no charging pen, capability to sync notes to Obsidian, no pen wobble, with layer blending & some extra sketchbook tools. The main selling point to me is the long battery life & ability to work anywhere in the sun. No screen fatigue is great, so the backlight is wasted on my use-case. I do like that the new folios have the protector for the pen, I've lost count of how many times I've nearly lost my pen so that is a small but critical add. I am hoping that some of the excess screen flashing can be fixed in subsequent software updates as if not... that may be enough to make me skip it. If it's a hardware issue with the technology.. that technology IMO needs more investment/development before it's solid enough for consumer grade. I'm obviously a bit biased here as I use it more for art, but as it has the capacity to fill the niche of being a perfect sketchbook, it'll be a point I'll continue driving home in future surveys from their team.

[@VadimUAE]

As a therapist, I have been considering the RM2 as I use so much paper.

Thanks for the review! I currently own a reMarkable 2, and there are two key issues I’ve encountered that I hope the new reMarkable Paper Pro addresses: 1. When my digital notebook reaches 30+ pages, it becomes quite difficult to find specific comments or notes. The scrolling on the reMarkable 2 feels slow and cumbersome. Could you show how the new reMarkable handles scrolling through long notebooks and share your thoughts on it? 2. The templates provided on the reMarkable 2 are somewhat limited, so I ended up creating custom “scheduler” templates to enhance my workflow and productivity. However, adding new templates required some technical work, like connecting to the reMarkable’s Linux system. Does the new Paper Pro make it easier to set up custom templates? Maybe set a page you designed/scratched as a template for other notebooks? If not (and to the extent that you can check), is it still possible to add templates via the file system? Lastly, based on your experience, would you recommend upgrading from the reMarkable 2 to the new Paper Pro? Thanks again for your detailed review!

Because in the end, if you use it to write notes down and read pdfs that now have colored images (with respect to the previous remarkables), it seems to me that most of the downsides are either irrelevant or not so impactful. Is there some bigger issue I missed? Like maybe the battery life of the pen

Thank you! I’ve watched basically all your vids over the year. Ultimate question now… Boox 3C or this? And boox 3C has screen issue too as I research?

[@MrsJordanStewart]

Eek is right! The flashing is quite distracting! Thanks for the candid review ☺

[@josephhwang1428]

Really glad to see this video after seeing the mainstream tech reviewers post their generic reviews. You are a trusted voice in this nich market. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the trickle of comparisons and benchmarks. The initial reviews from reddit definitely has more leaning on the fence to explore other brands, as you mentioned I am wanting more apps on eink. And I don't know if the performance reviews on the pro, being a rm2 daily user, will be enough for me to keep giving RM my money.

[@ashprime3701]

Fantastic overview. I think I will wait a while before getting into one of these E-ink tablets thought. I have had the Remarkable 2 on my wishlist for a while but now I think I will wait for what the competition comes out with after the release of this tablet.

[@mcgrailleah]

Is the power button any different than the remarkable 2? I accidentally jammed it on my 2, and read online other ppl had that issue as well. Not ruined by any means, still works. But hoping the 3 is different style for the button.

[@pierrex3226]

Please show the front light. I returned my boox go 10.3 because it lacked a front light and was super dark to use. What I expected to be white was grey.

[@joshwilson1279]

Slightly niche question, but could you have a look at it in a mind mapping perspective as well? That involves (ideally infinite canvas) but a fair bit of zooming in and out, resizing. I know at the moment there is only unlimited vertical scroll, but in theory resizing and zooming can essentially negate it- versus on competing products? Thanks in advance

[@TiffanyHunterLeanne]

How does it feel in comparison to weight vs the Remarkable2? Love the video

[@LeoColtrane]

For me the biggest upgrade is having the light. That's major. Writing in the dark is great. But I'm having a hard time acclimating to this screen. It's textured, far more than the rM2, but I don't know if I can get used to this. I'd be settling because of how great it is to have the light. If the rM2 had a front light, I'd be fine. That screen/marker combo is great. All that to say, I'm looking for one of those screen covers that add some drag to the writing experience. I miss being able to write lightly without slipping. Any suggestions?

[@landown]

Love your videos and how you speak and express yourself, thanks for the content! I returned my Remarkable 2 and got this, and I have the impression that the screen background with no light is darker than the Remarkable 2, is it true? Also, how would you compare the background color with the Go 10.3? I know the 10.3 it's lighter, but just how much more?

[@bassbass9175]

Could you compare the remarkable pro with Boox Tab X (13.3-inch device) and share your thoughts on which one works best for reading A4-sized (or letter size in USA) scientific papers and taking notes? I'm more interested in the differences in refresh rates and screen-size differences than the ability to read and write in colors. Thank you!!

[@alin5109]

I appreciate the honest review.

[@GordonA-Jr]

Does the screen ever wear out from continued writing on it, like lose it’s paper feel and smooth out like the Paperlike film used for IPads and such?

[@telockett9850]

Thanks Kit, I love the rM, but also a dual user with the Supernote. I feel a little underwhelmed and look forward to your other videos. I will most likely will upgrade in a few months as I thin the larger screen will be beneficial.

[@baltgames1]

I am not sure. I think it's still not ready. Maybe onyx could make it faster. At the moment.... you have to really think if you need it or not.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Correct. It's great for what it does well, but if you change the content on screen a lot and use a lot of colour it's not a pleasant experience.

[@kieranmandell1890]

The only other e-ink device is a Kindle Scribe that I predominantly read on and take some notes/to-dos. I want to start using the Scribe more for work meetings and then the Pro was announced. It’ll be interesting to see how I get on, do you have much experience with the Scribe vs others, what will surprise me the most?

[@Mahenounet]

Ouch ! Wobbly lines and lack of accuracy in the borders is what made me return my rM 1 and 2... I really hoped it would be better. Thanks for saving me 1k€ (and Earth resources !) :)

[@bmwallace2002]

Do they make nibs that are more like the nibs for the remarkable 2? The new pen/nibs slide/slip more than the remarkable 2

[@riley6723]

I think the “flashing” is a visual filler to compensate for the screen pause lag time? When switching inputs. Only a thought.

[@merylcooper]

What are your thoughts on the backlight? I was quite disappointed. And the screen seems much darker

[@jcantrell5755]

Hi Kit, I'd love to see how a monthly agenda looks on this tablet. Do daily entries quickly overwhelm the small space of each day's box? Curious if this will be the right tablet for me. Thanks!

[@jacksonier]

Can you check, in the top area, when writing the notes, drawing with the stock pensil, with black color, whether the strokes on the screen would always show precisely, most importantly, if you would keep on drawing the line, continously? There has been reported issues with that, that strokes would stop showing and/or would not be precisely showing compared to the hand movement.

[@KitBetts-Masters]

It sort of bends up towards the corner like around a magnet. Not bad though. I'll keep my eyes out for that behaviour though!

[@jacksonier]

Another ask: check , by any chance, when the device screen is turned off, if you see any kind of "bright spot" on the display, despite it is being turned off, like some very very tiny "spot" (or multiple), which would be having kinda "constant tiny light"...There has been also issues reported abt such a defects, hopefully you don't have it

[@KitBetts-Masters]

No, can't see that at all. Is it the yellow ghosting maybe?

[@SpencerScottPugh]

I’m sure you’ve heard this before… but you give some Bob Ross vibes man and I love it

[@LeoColtrane]

which alternate USI pen did you briefly try in this video? Is the nib softer than the rM marker? The new is rigid and more slippery than the rM2

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Hiya, it was a Penoval, but no, it wasn't working. I have since been informed by USI that the remarkable does not use a USI stylus.

[@llamazing]

I’d really like to know if you can transfer typed notes to a Word document, how tedious that process is, and if it translates well to Word if you have pictures or handwritten notes drawn alongside your typed notes? I always look forward to your reviews on these types of tablets. Thanks 🎉

[@Tibecojuvi]

After watching your review, I am not sure how big the advantages of the reMarkable Paper Pro are against their second product the reMarkable 2… Could you evaluate on these differences a little bit more? I would appreciate this very much. Thank you so far for your excellent review of the new product of reMarkable.!

[@ttbirds1082]

Thanks for the review. For me, the flashing / refresh approach would be too offputting for me. Would like a BW version.

[@lefteriszabou]

Kit one question please : is the brightness of RM pro without light same as Onyx BOOX Air 3 C without light ? Because as I noticed there is a difference to brightness between RM2 and RM pro !! I want to buy RM pro but I don’t like the brightness of BOOX Air 3 C when frontlight is off …

[@Deiomon-Mentith]

i saw on a promotion video that you can tag you notes to go back to them easier. Is that possible to make multi-tags researches ? i seems difficult to organize multiple notes (like for a student or so). Thanks for you vidéos, it's helping me figuring out which model to choose for my upcomming studies 😊

[@michaelosullivan8318]

Is there an opacity setting on the ink, for instance if i wanted to sketch lightly with the black colour, and then work ontop of it with heavier black colour ontop? The flashing of colour is slightly off putting. Is that exagerrated by the filming? Fundamentally, I'm intererested in being able to quickly sketch and note take. I'm torn between rM2 or this new rMPP.
