"Who should buy" 100%. Nailed it. You are exactly who they designed this for. Comparing it to paper is the *only* comparison that makes sense. It was the design center, according to their pre-success papers. Then again, you are a designer, so you know all about that

I bought the reMarkable 2 and the Supernote AX5 because I couldn’t decide which I would like better. So, after a year of using both I have to say that I love the reMarkable 2. It’s simple, uncomplicated, easy to navigate with a writing surface that feels just like paper. The Supernote, not so much. While it has a lot features, so does my iPad. I wanted something to just replace all my sticky notes and one place to keep my daily journal, plus my sketches. The reMarkable is a winner at sketching. I don’t care about color as my iPad has that in spades, so if that’s the only reason for an upgrade count me out. I do use the Supernote in my music room and have dedicated it to keeping notes and information strictly involving music. That’s my take on it. I’m sure a lot of people would love the Supernote and would find the reMarkable 2 to be restrictive, but that’s what I love about.

The thing I love about the Remarkable is that it really feels like an extension of my laptop rather than being a separate device. The chrome extension and desktop app sync almost instantly. I've had so many devices that's sync function was unreliable. The Remarkable is so reliable that it's quicker and better than printing a document. I've now side loaded my ebooks to it and I am using it as my primary reading device. I love that I can actually annotate the books rather than just writing on little post it notes. (I also own the Scribe). I know others rave about the Boox devices but I've owned many Android tablets and the number of apps that let you use a stylus and are designed for a large screen are minimal. The only major complaint I have against the remarkable is that you can't search for handwriting. We're paying for a cloud subscription, and this should be included in the price.

I absolutely love my RM2. It’s exactly what you say. A great replacement for my paper journals. I use it everyday at work. I love the tactile feeling of writing and it sits next to my keyboard while I work. I grab it for all my meetings and just share my notes when done. I wavered about the price, but after buying it I would get another if I accidentally broke it. The google drive integration ticked the final box for me and ease of importing docs to sign and email.

Brandon, great video. Totally agree..I spent a year with the A5X and even purchased the A6X2. I love the Supernote and still do. But it was missing two things for me. Better synchronization and no color pens or highlights. I still have them but will probably sell the A6X2. I then tried the Boox Air 3c and found it was taking a lot of steps to do a few simple things I needed to do while writing, plus I could never get the Kindle App on mine to work. Yes it has the color pens and highlights but there were just too many distractions for me to concentrate on writing. I have a phone and android tablet for all that. I sent the Boox back. Then I heard the remarkable had color pens and highlights and I remember watching a bunch of your discussions on the remarkable. I just ordered it and received it a couple of weeks ago and I have found my sweet spot of a tablet. You are correct when you discuss use case. That's what everyone has to decide. Sorry for the long post, but bottom line my use case is that I teach, and for me to teach it helps me to write in different colors and highlights, plus it helps to move my writing around because while writing thoughts don't always come in the perfect sequence. So when I have everything the way I like it, I preview it on my computer, (which is almost instantaneous and in color) and if everything is the way I like it, I then print it out in color and teach from paper. After I teach, I throw the paper away but I always have a copy on my remarkable. The only thing that might make me change would be if they come out with the bigger color version of remarkable, then I wouldn't need to print to paper. Thanks for all you do on this channel.

I recently got an RM2, after having the RM1 since they released in 2017. I'm still not convinced that I needed the upgrade: even the RM1 holds up quite well, although the support for a pen with an eraser is pretty neat. All round it's a great device, and I love it for taking notes, reading books, and in particular articles/papers where I want to annotate / highlight stuff. Also, worthy of note: it gets a lot of approving 'oohs' and 'aahs' in meeting rooms and at conferences. People tell me that I look more engaged and present than people taking notes on a laptop, who are "hidden" behind the folded up screen and could be anywhere between fully present and just zoned out and into whatever they're doing on their laptop instead. I wouldn't buy it just because it makes you look professional, but it certainly does help. Screen-sharing to a Teams meeting to show notes and draft things is also very nice.

I was surprised to find that of all the options, I ultimately selected the Remarkable in 2024. Polished cloud support, EU privacy, honoring the GPL, and substantial likelihood of long-term support were all major deciding factors. Happy with it so far, though viable Google Docs collaboration and at-rest encryption would take the Remarkable to another level for professional work.

@@BrandonKBoswell I feel like the Drive integration is okay, but I can't comment/annotate Google Docs without first exporting them from Docs, so the comments aren't visible to co-workers.

I'm a software engineer. I spend ⅓ of my days in meetings. My Remarkable keeps me organized and sane! I pre-ordered mine, so I'm sure I was in the first round of Remarkable 2 owners.

Yes, and actually the thing that keeps me from buying any of them is that I don't think the technology is there yet in general. Now for people who write all the time and journal and basically organize their whole life writing I can see this being a game changer and worth it now or later. For someone like me who wants to use it for some very specific note taking and that's it, as well as being super picky with responsiveness, resolution, and seamless features, I think I'll keep waiting. I want to not be able to notice I'm using e-ink instead of a sheet of paper, as well as full synchronization with google docs (without downloading), a screen the size of an A4 sheet of paper, and snappy streamlined responsiveness to taking notes, organizing them, and finding them. I have a strong feeling I will be disappointed still in various ways. Maybe the remarkable 3 will do it, maybe not. We'll see.

I have been using the Remarkable 2 for years. I do not recommend it for 2024; it is outdated for current needs. Yes, it is a note-taking device, but it is necessary to add color to the notes, and RM2 does not allow this. The RM2 software is easy to use, yes, but it is so simple that many necessary options are missing, and the software does not implement them. Also, it must be mentioned that to have certain document storage functionalities on the company's servers, a monthly subscription is necessary. How? Yes, if you do not pay every month, all your documents that you have not used in the last 50 days will be deleted from the cloud. The best thing about the RM2 is the writing feel, which is very good, but the very basic software, the lack of color, and the need to subscribe for certain functionalities, make it an outdated device.

I've been using a remarkable 2 for a year and a half for university, and it's almost perfect. I bought the keyboard case 3 months ago and it's even better than before. However, I find they're too slow to update the tablet, the last few updates were pretty useless to be honest (today's beta update which makes files prettier for example is the last thing I wanted to have as an update....). I've been asking the development team for months to add circles, which are absolutely essential for students like me. I've been asking for months to be able to change PDF note page templates which would take maximum 10 minutes to code for them, move pages in imported PDFs, copy and paste images (I know it can be difficult to code, but it can be done). Also, adding a green pen isn't unfeasible, and would be really cool. However, I really don't think they care what their users think in the long run. I'm pretty disappointed in them for that.

Price is a factor worth noting. I just recently bought a Kindle Scribe after spending some time shopping all of the options including the Remarkable 2. My final decision came down to those two devices, and price probably was the single biggest deciding factor. I got the Scribe for $239, and the Remarkable 2 right now is listed at $399. That's a big difference. The Remarkable software might be better, but whatever advantages it had weren't worth the extra $160 to me.

Just try other devices, than you realize how good (easy to use, seamless work of desktop and mobile Apps) and precise the RM2 is! Important: there is no difference when using notebooks, PDFs and eBooks - you can store them within the same folder, same toolset and accessable from the Apps, too!

The problem with Remarkable is the pen(s)... they are effing expensive. I had the pro and accidentally dropped it. Wasn't going to spend a couple of hundred to replace it, so got the basic one... and it sucks without an eraser. You also have to pay for the syncing too.

I keep watching reviews but I keep going back to the remarkable 2. Even though It doesn't have a backlight, I want to buy a device for the sole purpose of replacing my notebooks for school/work, to have it next to me for note taking while reading physical books, and to make to do notes for myself. It is also important for me to keep the paper grippy feel, as I hate the feeling of writing on glass and would just go back to paper, also it need to be thin and light enough to fit on my computer bag or briefcase without adding much bulk to it with a long battery because I forget to charge my phone, much less an e-ink! I think it will be hard for me to find anything else other than the remarkable, I just wish they came out with the remarkable 3 already. Do you think I should wait for the Supernote A5X2 since it seems pretty close to launch, and it also checks most of my boxes??? I would love to hear your taught on it.

Either the reMarkable or Supernote sounds like a good fit. Supernote is probably “grippier” when reMarkable feels more like pencil on paper. A5X2 got delayed to the end of the year.

Brandon, your vid review seems to suggest that SN's A5 has everything that RN2 has, and more. In your vid's end, tho, you double down on RM2, & it seems the only reason is that your A6 SN is too small. You never quite answer a question on MANY people's mind: RM2 vs SN's larger A5? If you had to choose one, then which would it be, and WHY? THANKS for the excellent video review you've provided.

Thank you for your video. It helped me to narrow my expectations. Mostly because I only use my eink tablet for writing and creativity. But it's true that I miss a lot the colour option. Before my eink device, I wrote and used notebooks regularly, and I always carry a pack of colour pens (I still do carry them with me and a notebook). But using a e-ink tablet is so cool and nice feeling, knowing that everything is in there and reachable... So, if you are a creative that is extremely happy with the remarkable like experience... But you need colour to develop your work... Where should I be looking for? I really don't need all that connectivity and computer/phone apps... But I need at least some size for my notes to write and design on. Is the Tab Ultra C the only option? Would the Nova AirC be ok today? Could I use the Kobo Libra Colour? Thank you in advance for your time and help! Have a very nice week!

I love the idea of the Remarkable, but my workflow is chaotic adhd 😂 my iPad lets me frantically scribble a note when an idea comes to mind, highlight what I scribbled and plop it into a text to send off immediately. I worry all my ideas would live and go nowhere within a remarkable 😭

The massive annoyance for me is the lack of backlight on the RM2. Kindle Scribe is nice, but not as pleasant to use, and as you said, the software is SERIOUSLY lacking. And when you use a desk light with the RM2, it annoyingly reflects on most of the screen.

@brandonkboswell Just found your video. Great information. I know this isn't a review video per se, but how is it using reMarkable as a left handed person? Does the left side bar interfere with writting? I see you don't ever show a cover. Do you use/need a cover? Does it change the left handed user experience? Cheers!

Brandon - for me the big attraction is if I can write and write and write in my handwriting on a ReMarkable 2 and then after the meeting press a button and what I have written magically turns into type written text that I can then convert into a wordprocessed document or a PowerPoint-type document. Such a feature, if quick and accurate, would be 100% ideal for me. I am told the ReMarkable 2 has a feature that allows the user to convert their handwriting into typed text, but I have never seen a review or a video that shows me this feature being used. Is this because it is not a very good feature? Is it because it is very inaccurate? Or it is a paid extra? Or it is not possible to do this?
