The thing that kills me about Remarkable is that they want an additional $8 a month just to unlock some software features. Sure they give cloud storage, but if you have Drive or Dropbox, you have to pay for Connect to access Drive or Dropbox and not use their cloud storage. Also, features like text conversion and screen share have nothing to do with a connection service, just software features they lock without a subscription. If you keep for 5 years, you’re paying $900 for a Remarkable. iPad is way more feature packed and doesn’t cost a dime more after the purchase.
What?? Paying to connect your own clo0ud storage turns me off it immediately.
Same here mate! I would have bought it instantly, of it wasn't for that stupid subscription service. Limiting a physical product and its features to a subscription service - I did not see that coming for the Remarkable 2. Very aggressive approach that does not benefit the consumers in any way. It's pure limitations. Almost like a pay wall.
Yep! This is why I won't buy it... they basically killed their product when they required a subscription service for what should be basic features.
Look into Supernote, really nice device!
They've changed it recently. All of those core features are included for free again now. Connect is now €2.99 a month for unlimited remarkable cloud storage (50 days included free), extended warranty coverage for the device, access to special offers and new features like the ability to add text to handwritten notes from apps on your other devices.
Makes reMarkable a more viable proposition now.
I just bought the RM2 for myself and I’m excited about transitioning to digital notes. Great video and I’m looking forward to your note taking video. Happy New Year!
Chase! Great video. I went heavy with the Remarkable, but found it kind of limiting-I love the ability to incorporate color, pictures, web clips, etc, like Notability can do in my notes. So the only thing that kept me going back to the Remarkable was the great writing experience, but (like others have said) once I found the Paperlike, that was solved. Now I have the power of the iPad Pro, but the writing experience of the Remarkable. Haven’t used my Remarkable in several months…
im in sales and i was traveling with a notebook with all these folders for each account. i switched to the remarkable and i LOVE IT! i dont have to lug that noteboom around. i also have an ipad but its connected to work, my remarkable is my own. it takes some getting use to and i still havent mastered it but my basic organization is on point now!
After a six month run I am switching back to an iPad Mini from the reMarkable. I need to search handwritten notes and tags are not a good substitute for me. Notability and OneNote both easily search notes. This is a great overview that shows you really do use the tablets and are not just reviewing them. One more challenge for me in reMarkable was slow swapping between pages of PDFs.
GORGEOUS intro and editing. Very polished while still very Chase.
Great video review and discussion! I’ve subscribed! Looking forward to watching more of your videos of wisdom!
Haha I really liked the sign-out-phrase 'May all your notes be archivable". Ooh the Remarkable now can stack the notebooks within a folder. Just an update from Jan 2023.
The intro songs always kill me 😂 Good video! I own an iPad Pro and yeah it's awesome that you can store tons of notes in one single device but the feeling of writing with pen and paper is still unbeatable. I find myself reaching for my notebook and pen most of the time even though I have my iPad right beside me.
Love that intro song n lyrics too!
You should check out the paper like screen protector for the iPad! Big fan - gives it that matte papery feel. Great vid!
Great video, thanks for your sharing!
Great video for someone like me who is thinking about buying a remarkable or an iPad. I saw there are protection foils for iPad that feels like you write on paper. Would you try them and make a quick video about this comparison?
Its quite awesome but i wish there were color options. I'm so used to different color pens, highlighting, for note taking journaling and organizing my thoughts
Personally I have used the Remarkable II and iPad Pro. I love the iPad Pro. I use Good Notes 5 for meetings, quick notes and everything else especially content creating for my customers. I would say yes the Remarkable II is nice for E-Ink but I do like having the option of carrying my office in one device. If the the Remarkable had a few more options for organization I think I would interested in but right now for me the iPad Pro still wins.
Good Note 5: In comparison to Notability I love the ability to have notebooks and folders all in one app. I would say all the apps are great in their own way just really need to find the one that works best for what your doing.
Would love to see this note taking project you spoke about at the end
I use a screen protecter from PaperLike for my iPad. Almost the same feeling as with my reMarkable 2, but not fully.
Key part for me is the ability to keep the screen on all day (10- 12 hour workday) so I can take notes just like I can take them on paper. On paper you don't press a button to start writing, you just start writing. That can be done in the Remarkable since the battery life with the screen on isn't power hungry. On traditional LCD backlight screens since it's essentially a light bulb on, it needs to power down eventually or else you'll go dead quickly.
Can’t wait for your video on note-taking tips to organize our ether 😁
Great review thanks
Great review as always!
I think a good in-between would be a remarkable that can link to a developed smartphone app for organisation (i.e. being able to structure notebooks and edit the same way you can on iPad apps). This way the organisation of notes doesn't have to be hampered by the e-ink screen.
Also, I'd ike to see the remarkable in a smaller A5 size, or even an A4 with a hinge in the middle of two screens to close like an A5 notebook.
If future iterations can make similar updates to these I'd definitely consider switching from pen and paper, but as it stands a nice paper notebook and pdf scanner app when needed do the job for me.
An app for the remarkable is available as far as I understood
Paperlike for Ipad and presto, you are writing on paper again....feels sooooooo nice.
wow need that follow up video ASAP!!!
When is part two of the productivity systems coming out?
I already have an iPad Pro and I’m beginning to use it for notes because 3 ring binders grown and become heavy over time when you add as many notes as I do. I’m gonna download notability, it may work better for me instead of using good notes
Great review
Using the Remarkable 2 now. It does scroll page now, which is fab. I do find that not having a battery display a HUGE PROBLEM! I didn't know that I could connect to Zoom- Huge Thank You for that, will check it out. It only came with a USB - USBC lead and I have no USB plug for that, yes I know buy one. But, why doesn't it charge USBC -USBC fast charger? It will only charge through my laptop 🤷♀️SLOW Charging.
But YES LOvE the screen!
Chase, you need Paperlike! Huge difference in feel. Makes it feel the same as the Remarkable.
Thank you! You're real, haha. Sending the new Remarkable back today and working with my old ipad and pencil. Just made 500$ back today!
Great review!
Oh yes, I have always wanted to have a Remarkable. If I only had it during my university years!!!!
Not sure if it arrived in an update since you made this video, but reMarkable does have folders (nested as deeply as you want), and you can use tags (as many as you like) to organise and filter pages, notebooks and folders. Apparently there's also an infinite page feature in the works.
Great review. But one small thing. On the remarkable it is possible to organize your notebooks in folders. You find it in the menu under My Files.
OMG, now you tell me. ok, just played with it and you're right. Instead of looking at "notebook" view, you look at "My Files" view and you have the ability to create folders. All of my ebooks and pdfs were in that view along with my notebooks (I copied lots of ebooks over there to see how it did as a reader), so I mostly avoided that view before.
Can you search on the ipad on your yearly notes by, names, titles, words written to find?
I see ya- with those Michael Franks vibes! Love it.
I have a dumb question. Can you get a calligraphy pen in notability? Cause if not, I’m getting a ReMarkable for that only 😅
You can get a paper-feel glass protector for your iPad! Makes all the difference!
I really wish there was an e-ink iPad, but that’ll probably never happen. I used the original ReMarkable for a while but returned it because I got a lot of drag with it as a unitasker and had my workflow tuned in to using the Apple ecosystem. I admire the ReMarkable from afar like the Samsung folding phones and Microsoft Surface Studio, but they’re not worth redoing my custom Alfred/Obsidiab/Drafts/Shortcuts/Zotero/etc. workflows.
I use a paper like screen protector it’s amazing for notes and get that paper feel while writing and also works as anti glare
This
Any matte protector is cheaper and bette
Yep, they even have a removable matte screen thingy that you can lay down while taking notes, to get that “paper-like” feel, and then remove when done (as I don’t like to permanently keep a matte protector on, as it reduces resolution of the screen for everything else)
@@tyrah3261 that’s perfect thanks for the info!
@@tyrah3261 any idea what the name of that is? Sounds interesting
You gotta try paperlike for iPad. It removes glare, smudges and changes the feel of writing to less plasticky/rubbery.
Having said that I switched to paper notebooks in 2021 🤣
Completely second this. I came to comment the same thing! My version affected colors slightly (I've adjusted and don't notice it anymore), but the newer versions are supposed to limit that more.
Agree that the Paperlike screen protector makes a huge difference for writing and glare. It’s worth the money.
Absolutely and I have had pretty good success with Paperfeel - half the price of Paperlike!
Thanks for a great video and comparison of two awesome products! Two things, though:
1) You can absolutely have folders for your notebooks in the Remarkable! In the list of your notebooks, find the menu to your left and select "My files". That's where I always navigate my stuff from. Work, Life, Notebooks, eBooks, folders in folders, all of it!
2) The Google Drive and Dropbox integrations work great for archiving and/or transferring stuff back and fourth. Yes, it requires a subscription. That subscription also enables cloud sync to always keep your stuff backed up. A bit of disclosure: I'm an early adopter so I've had Sync free of charge from the day of purchase. They let us early adopters keep using it free of charge which is another testament to their noble business practices.
Im pretty sure they’re just required to do that by law because it was free when you bought it.
I'm in the Android ecosystem, so the Boox Note Air is the happiest medium for me. I have all the Android/play store goodness for UI, reading and note taking apps. But they don't handle video/scrolling at all. So no distractions within it no notifications. When I am working and keeping work notes, or journaling, I remain in that moment, it's very freeing. I can use any Wacom stylus, change out the nibs if I want to....and no subscription. The latest versions have Android 11. I bought mine gently used got a sweetheart deal, I think. It has Android 10 (the original Note Air). I'm happy 😊 though I kinda want the 8 inch color version... I'll wait for the tech to get better/cheaper etc...
I have the Note Air 2 and agree the Boox devices are great note takers and also basic Android devices, esp as cross-platform e-readers. Not convinced that the “one trick pony” RM2 is all that much better as a digital note taker though there’s no doubt it is a gorgeous looking device.
I tried the Boox Nova colour device but returned it because the Kaliedo colour technology isn’t up to showing anything other than washed out or at least pastel shaded colours with grey screens and dimmed clarity. Hopefully 2023 will see great improvements in this area with the new Gallery 3 colour technology.
Maybe wait for reMarkable 3 ... the subscription fee to connect to your Dropbox is a turnoff tho 👎
Paperlike screen protector (or the off brand on Amazon, which I have) is a must have for writing in the iPad Pro if you don’t like the feel of writing on the glass, plus they are matte.
ohhhh, interesting.
Completely agree Hunter. The paper like gives the feel of paper and protects screen at same time.
@@chasereeves absolutely.. paperlike is a gamechanger for ipad writing.
Also, thanks to you for bringing studio neat to my attention.. I had to figure out a way to go hybrid and use the totebook as the analog home of my daily productivity (the feel of that book is heaven) while still using notability and things 3.
As soon as he got to this section I was like “ohh… dude… you just need a good screen protector” #absolutegamechanger
Lol your music is dope !
Which format of file do you download to read books on remarkable? Kindle? Please don’t say it has its own. Can’t wait for your note taking video, sir!
.epub for sure cuz that's what I've got a lot in. But I imagine .mobi as well.
is your follow-up video live, or am I looking for it in vain? I loved this video. Very helpful.
Well shit. Kind of a pain, I was hoping the remarkable would be a good price compromise for the I pad but it kinda just misses on some essential things.
For the remarkable to be a contender I think it needs the infinite scrolling feature, it needs more responsive zooming, it needs to be able to take exportable notes on external PDFs or ebooks, and it needs to not keep its advanced software features behind a subscription pay wall.
I don’t think it’s too much to ask either it’s not a cheep device and it doesn’t bring enough to the table at its price point to be a viable contender.
If someone at remarkable is reading this, I would love to see a 3.0 that hits on these concerns because this could be an amazing product.
I love my RM2. Its changed my work and doctoral student life. I'm not an Apple guy, so the ipad won't ever be in my quiver.
I just like this guy. Cool.
TCL NXTPAPER will be the best of both world… LCD meets epaper.
It will have the look of eink but with great colors and normal refresh rates. Ao you can watch youtube on it without any issues.
But just as eink and epaper you don’t have backlight, but it rather reflects the light in the room, just as regular paper does.
The local radio had a tech person from the local Apple store in to talk about and answer questions on the iPad.
My question was "!I really really want one of these. However I first need to know why would I ever bother to use it?"
The "Remarkable" is interesting, different and maybe for someone without iPhone/iPad/iMac or in the Windows PC world or at least with products that do not support hand written notes or do so poorly.
I have a Windows tablet, Windows laptop and a Windows desktop that can run the same applications, share folders see the same emails notices and browser tabs. All have touch screens with active pressure sensitive pens and the pen from Dell and Lenovo (for the models I have at least) work with each other's screens.
I like Remarkable but it is a UNI-tasker. For that reason it seems a step backwards.
What is the thickness of the remarkable v/s iPad?
Remarkable is thinner. Great form factor on that.
Apple Google Microsoft. You need a premium Tablet that has a E Ink mode. Premium Pen. Also include a premium mic for audio notes and recording public speakers....also Put a mic in the pen
Seems like the Remarkable 2's only developer has been working on their cloud support and not on any new features .
Paperlike screen protector fixes the feel on the iPad
$300 for a device (if you get the $100 off for signing up for a 1 year subscription to their $7 a month service) is too much for that. And I then have to carry around another device then my laptop, iPad, and cell phone….hard pass. I want one device to rule them all, not another to add to what I carry.
Not related to the product, but why is your Canon(s) losing focus at various points in the video?
I think it has something to do with a recent firmware update. Will look into it, thanks!
Great vid, turn off autofocus on your camera.
Careful the swarovski crystals on the glove may scratch the iPad
Seadon makes a great shirt, but I’m having a tough time with their customer service. I keep ordering mens XXL t shirts and they keep sending womens and then asking for photos. I send photos, they send more womens shirts. I know their womens because they sent one mens shirt and it fits wonderfully. Also, they take days to get back to me. YMMV
Hi Jason! Carson here, founder of Seadon. First off, happy new year! Hope everything’s well. I am really sorry to hear about the experiences you had. It was our first Xmas doing business and we have gained a lot of experiences regarding the amount of customer support we would need to handle a season such as this. Please rest assured we’ll make things right and improve. We’re still on holidays until Tuesday but we’ll take care of you as soon as we are back. Thank you for supporting us! Wishing you a great start to 2022! -Carson, Founder
@@SeadonClothing I appreciate your response Carson and Happy New Year to you and your team as well.
Don’t keep me in suspense, man: after showing us “Erase All,” did the “Undo” work to restore it all? You edited the video pretty dang quickly…🤨
Yes, undo put it all back :)
Honestly it looks clunky, slow and non intuitive. From what I’ve seen the price really doesn’t make it appealing. It just seems like harder work than it should be.
