Was going to get a Remarkable 2 but a paywall is a no go.
Same. I was thinking about it too, but nope.
It's optional. It's still very capable without it.
The first year is free
Why get a remarkable when onyx boox exists which has a colored eink display and android
Branden, After reading many reviews on reMarkable vs Onyx, it was your presentation and explanation that moved me to purchase the Onyx Boox Note Air 2 Plus! I love the way you articulate and share your thoughts. I will be subscribing and connecting with you to join your Key2Success digital planning. THANK YOU!!
Thanks Patrick for the kind words. I hope my advice holds up. Seeing its been a few months are us currently using the Air?
thank you Branden. Same as Patrick here, thank you for explaining and helping me decide
Loved atomic habits
I just receiv/ed my Note 4... I have no idea how to start using it but I know I'm going to love it. I look forward to your training videos so I know what I'm doing 🤣
I got my note air 2 plus today after 3 weeks of waiting. I’m enjoying it more and more and since I draw on my iPad I think this will be a good warm up sketchbook
Thank you so much for this review. My Remarkable which was a gift was recently stolen and I was troubled with the idea that spending the money to replace it might not be the best use of my funds, Although the Onyx book is quite a bit more expensive its feature rich additions means the one off extra cost is ore than covered in benefits. you saved me a lot of time shopping around and checking in stores
I've watched so many vids to decide between the two, and yours finally comforts me in my decision: I'm going for the Note Air Plus. Thanks.
Great to hear the video helped with your decision. May I ask what stood out that helped you make the decision?
@@bodendorfer I had the SNA5X (was good) it lacked “integration to my workflow”. After 2 weeks w/ SNA5X I realized that distraction free was not true…in that after having action items in my notes I’d have to go back thru multiple notes to physically “capture” action items = distraction. I moved to the NA2+, which provided integration into a capture task tool like Todoist, so in the moment you can send to Todoist and get back to your notes/brainstorming/reading. Thx
I have my Note Air 2 for a few months now but never got really into the OneNote. Not sure what it can do or integrate in my workflow. If you have hints about optimizing the app into the Boox, that would be great. I feel like I can never find the right refresh values that would be perfect.
Another thing I would like to do is to share a link of a page that I am annotating so people could see changes in real time. As a teacher in online classes, that would be of tremendous value, but it looks like there is a strong delay. Not sure if it is my refresh options, or the OneNote servers. If you have hints about that, would be much appreciated :)
Hey Branden! Awesome review! You have helped me make the decision to get the Onyx Boox Note Air 2 plus. Another Question! Are you aware of the new kid on the block called the Supernote X series? The standard tablet is going for $385. Its operating system is Chauvet-handwriting middleware based on Android. Battery is 3800 mAh, Processor is PX30 Quad-core Cortex-A35, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage. You can also handwright you emails and attach files. You can integrate kindle, read e-books, pitch zoom, Mark up PDFs and export with annotations. Future review perhaps?
Branden, thank you for your honest impartial review. I have decided to purchase the Onyx Boox Air2 Plus. I am also installing your organization Kit for professionals. Getting it set up with One Note makes it easy accessible. Thanks for the insight.
Glad I could help - let me know any feedback you have.
Hello, thanks for an informative video. I am thinking of buying note air soon. what are your thoughts on buying an android 10 device when android 11 is available in note air 2? Note air is currently offered on discount at good price so seems like a good option. Like if we ignore everything else, does a newer version of android on a device is able to justify a higher price?
Excellent, thorough review, thank you! Actually was torn between both products. As an FYI, and I'm sure you're aware by now, Boox is pronounced "Books" for obvious reasons. Thanks again for your comparison.
I am happy that the video brought some clarity to your decision.
Thank you for your review. I’m trying to choose now. I only care about hand writing notes to ditch my multiple notebooks, but I’m trying to figure out what’s best to search for info in my previous notes. How do you find what you need? Is there a key word search on either of these? Or do you search in google drive after you sync? I hope I make sense
So that is a GREAT QUESTION! So with the remarkable, you have to be a little proactive and use tags to index your notes. Then you can search the tags and display content that is related to the tag. As for the Boox, if you use an app like OneNote, you can search your handwritten text. I have a few videos showing you how to do this. Let me know if you want me to share.
Thank you, very useful, straight to the point
Hi Branden, Supernote 5x seems quite thick compared to the Airnote 2+. Is that inconvenient / unpleasant? Thanks
Great review. Thank you for the info!! I'm sold. :)
Which route you going and why?
Thanks for your reviews. Finally someone who is testing OneNote on note taking epaper device.
Will you test the Boox Tab Ultra? Would be great to have a comparison vs the Not Air 2+
Instantly subscribed to your channel. Great review. Thank you very much.
This Chris. I will have another reveiew on the Note Air 3C coming in the next week!
I have Rem2 before it launched officially.
I have gotten quite frustrated with it's closed ecosystem the same way I've been amused by it.
It's a nice tool to replace the paper. Good, distractionless device.
Until you want to get longer random texts to the tablet or photos that aren't converted to .pdf.
I like the book part as there are a lot of epub-s around and send to Remarkable extension on Chrome in PC and phone works also magic.
I've read numerous Wiki and newspaper arcticles on remarkable this way.
And then it gets dark and I can't read in the corner. Great. And then comes out coloured ePaper tablet. Great.
Other than that. Distraction free device that really feels like paper. Good for quick sketches, keeping scores, digitizing signatures or other forms of handwriting and taking quick notes.
Onyx experience looks way smoother though. It'll save you some frustration maybe.
Excellent review! I now know to purchase this over the reMarkable. Just want to review a couple other devices.
I may have missed this, but can you export an annotated document to other devices, like a Macbook Pro. Does it become a word doc or pdf? Thanks!
Great video. Much appreciated. I have an iPad Pro but I don’t use it as a paper replacement device. Perhaps I should make an effort to do so. Thanks again.
Great Video!
I'm on the fence about getting either of these for work. My only question is would you know if PlanGrid is a compatible app on the Note Air 2. My coworker confirmed that it works on ReMarkable 2. This will be a deal breaker if it's not compatible on the Note Air 2.
I ordered a remarkable tablet when it was first introduced and ended up not using it much for exactly the reasons you mentioned. The closed ecosystem just made it hard to load content to read, and sync notes off of the device.
Pretty excited about this new tablet.
Is it possible to flip it, so the sidebar thing to hold onto is in the right hand, for left hand writers?
So I purchased the onyx boox plus last week. Any chance you can do a guide on how to use it? It's a bit overwhelming sometimes
Boox has a good channel of instructional videos
is there any difference in OCR on the 2 devices? I essentially would like to handwrite emails and convert to text
Thanks! Great video!
I agree on your reason why would we want a eTablet. I wonder if with the new Kindle Scribe eTablet if it will be the same type of result.
Does the note air 2 plus have a snipping tool or is able to take a screenshot from a PDF and paste in your notes?
Excellent review!!
Glad you liked it!
What is the best system to buy if you are a student wanting to take notes and then import it with word, one notes, ocr, pdf etc at computer and epaper-tablet?
Asking for my son who is going ro study in a few months and I am wondering to get one myself at work.
Hello...do you need a sim card or how does it transmit to other devices? If it has a page auto save, where does the device save its documents?
I was about to buy the remarkable2. Yet, after doing some research, with your presentation being the final confirmation, I decided to go forward with BOOX - the latest BOOX Tab Ultra ePaper Tablet PC.
Thanks for taking the time to do this review… it’s gratefully appreciated.
Happy to hear the video gave you some clarity.
Can you provide links to the case and keyboard you used in this video?? (Around 12:30 in the video)
Here is the foldable keyboard that I use. It comes in handy and it works with any device. Android, Windows and even apple. amzn.to/3A3FE1h
Does the Note Air 2 Plus emit light from the background, or does it reflect natural light? This was the biggest reason I was attracted to the reMarkable2, because I was going to use it mostly for reading a lot of documents and studies. Thanks!
I have a note air 2, they have led lights as a top layer which shines down on the screen. You have the possibility to turn off the light.
But the screen is closer to the rink layer without the added leds - so there are pros and cons for both devices there.
The problem with onyx is that they want it all and there interface is confusing, and updates can sometimes be strange.
I would suggest that you also take a look at the Supernote A5X - it’s an Japanese e ink product without led lights - but with good software and a team that keeps improving it - they also have hyperlinks witch the onyx do is missing
It works like the kindle. E-Ink is solid, with particles inside it. So front light is used. It's a 0.5mm glass that diffuses light shot from the edge of the screen.
Great content @branden! It's awesome when an expert make a statement like that!!
It's was not clear to me if the Boox can or can't connect to wifi or only with their connection plan...?
The Boox can connect to wifi, so if you are using another cloud storage like one drive, you should have no problem using it.
Hi, thank you for the review! Which keyboard were you using connected to Onyx in the video? thanks
The keyboard I am using is a foldable bluetooth keyboard. Here I the product link: amzn.to/3ADnSlf
@@bodendorfer thank you!
Also, is the the Onyx Android platform compatible with apple products?
Just a question. I’m a theatre director and I’m sick of all the paper books I use for writing my notes. So I would love one of the two divices. But I just want to make notes en send them to myself and read scripts and making notes. Does it still makes a big changes in which one I choose?
I think in your case you are going to find a little more flexibility with the Note Air 2 plus as it will allow you to install android apps, which I believe will give you more options in the long run.
I’m so glad I found yr video!!
Please did I undermine correctly? You don’t have to have a membership if you don’t want to?
I’m looking for something that I don’t have to pay monthly but I can use it with wifi and be able to take notes but I can have these notes with me where I don’t have to download them onto another device necessarily. Also is it similar to an iPad where it has storage?
Does it happen that the notes get deleted (by mistake) or does it keep them secure?
Thanks
There is no membership or subscription with our planner. You simply purchase it as you would a yearly paper planner. One purchase and you have the planner for life. You are able to work with it offline, however connecting to a back up is preferred for save keeping.
When it will be possible to change the colour of the writing or to overline it, then yes, it will really be an exceptional tool.
You can already change the color of text, lines, pens, highlighters, etc.
They don't show on the screen, since the display is just Black & White...but they will show when you export the document/notes.
Since you are not using your Remarkable 2 anymore, I am interested to buy it.
I still use it for demos and testing. I like to as a distraction free note taking tool.
After reviewing both, I’m still leaning towards remarkable even though it’s subscription based. I don’t need kindle , the Google play store , split screen etc. I just need to keep it simple and take notes
It’s always good to have clarity. Glad the video helped.
@@bodendorfer I’ve tried reaching out on your site my question is , does your digital planner for remarkable sync with my Google calendar? I’m currently weighing my options and thinking of getting your planner for remarkable 2
Very useful review. Thanks. Few quick questions on Onyx Boox Note Air 2 Plus: Can my hand written long notes be converted into typed notes? Also, can I connect it to my laptop and drag/drop files or notes? Is it good for PDF reading? Thanks again.
So you can connect to your computer and use the dropboox app, which allows you to connect over wifi. You can also connect through a tethered method. As for as ink to text, depends on the application, but with onenote, you can allow the notes to sync to your computer. And then convert them on the onenote app on your computer.
Is Remarkable 2 capable of actually SYNCINC with Google like in both directions or is this just a backup function?
Did you demo the 13.3" or 10.3"? I'm thinking the 13.3 would feel more like paper. What is your recommendation? I was this close to buying a reMarkable - so glad I ran across your review. Big thumbsup
Thanks Matt, Don't get me wrong the remarkable is great, but if you are looking for more than just a digital notepad, the boox is a great solution. I personally think the smaller size is nicer, however I travel a lot and tend to use my tablet in bed and I like the smaller size for those spaces. Plus it sits on my design mostly all day and I feel the larger size would take up room that I could use for my pot of coffee.
Great review. Thank you.
I noticed that you were using a planner or scheduler. Could you tell me what that was. I've been trying to find something like that and have had no luck. Thank you very much I look forward to hearing back from you.
Tara
Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the review. Here is the shop for the planner. reMarkable Planner Shop: bit.ly/3sjGNOr
Thank you. Do they work with the noteair 2 plus?
That is the one I ended up getting seeing that it runs on Android and I can use all the Google aops with it. I appreciate your help
Great info, thank you! I believe it’s pronounced “books” instead of “box” though 😊
Yeah we have been told that. :) will make sure in the next video we are ready.
I heard the boox screen is very fragile cause it's a glass screen. Do you know anything about this? This is so far the only reason I'm hesitating not to get a Boox.
Brilliant video. Thank you so much. A couple of things. Does it link with evernote - can i store all my writings on evernote? Does the stylus have an eraser? Does stylus and case come free? How thick is it compared to Remarkable. Remarkable I feel is a rip off - basic features only available through a subscription plan. Really? Anyway, thanks
Hi Branden, thanks for the detailed comparison. Does either of the 2 devices (Boox and reMarkable) have auto-sync to Google Drive? I read on the web that reMarkable just "integrates" with Google Drive where the users need to manually upload the notes to Drive but the reMarkable website says "sync".
Are you looking to load files. I don't believe there is any auto sync, but with the boox you can download google drive app and view your documents there.
@@bodendorfer My use case is that when I write notes in the e-ink tablet, I want the changes to be reflected in google drive. I mean I want to have a dedicated folder in the e-ink tablet where all the notes in that folder gets auto synced to Google Drive.
Interesting video, Thanks. I am looking to take notes, with a pen, file them under different project headings, and then add tasks on to-do lists, which then i can link to my calendar ( I use the iphone calander for this currently ( but happy to change if needed).
Can I accomplish this all easily ( has to be easy for me to use), on the Onyx please
So you could probably do all of that with the boox up to linking the calendar. You would need to use OneNote to create a tasks and sync with outlook tasks.
Thank you! Is another reason to choose Ynox that it has colors?
Onyx ;D
colors are always good.
I hate how you cannot simply edit existing Office documents in RM2. Instead you end up creating new copies which can then be uploaded back, so from a collaboration perspective it is a disaster. The Office app integration of the Boox is a total game changer.
Can I use discord on it and screen share on things like zoom and discord?
The Onyx Boox allows you to create your own hyperlinks? i think this is a key feature for me. Also.. do any of these e ink tablets support use of the Staedtler pens?
yes you can create your own hyperlinks. Seeing it is an android you have to use the [bracketmethod]. We have a video on this.
Branden, which device are you using for your Key2Succeess planning??
Bert, I actually use a number of devices. We have designed the planner to work on Windows, Android, Apple and even E-Ink devices. If you got a question about what would work best with your device, jump on our website (www.key2successplanner.com) and start a chat.
Is the warranty transferable with these devices ?
That $7.99 plan is so insulting. I think that's put me permanently off ever buying a Remarkable. It's exploiting the customer. That Boox does look interesting though.
Question, for a high schooler what would u feel would be more successful in a school environment??
Personally, I think the Book would be a better choice. A lot of schools use google docs, sheets and such and this would allow them to open those items and even connect a keyboard if needed. As for a planner, I think the academic planner is the prefect choice.
Thank you
I fully understand what you are saying. Consider that you like me are on the Apple eco system, Is the Onyx still better than the Remarkable 2 ? And if you just need to replace the paper notebook, is the Onyx also still better. I ask because i am considering "something", but havent decided which to buy yet.
If you consider the only boox tab ultra. Then I sure think so.
I work in full-time ministry at my church and use a program called Logos. I have a pretty large library on Logos and on Kindle… I’m wondering if Onyx Boox Note Air 2 Plus is a place where I can access both libraries along with my Audible account. Can anyone help me figure this out?
The Onyx Boox using an android system, with that said you can get the Kindle app on the device. I would imagine that if you files are in the Kindle app, they would come over as well. Let me know if this doesn’t help.
what type or software are you using for Calendaring on your Boox device?
OneNote Key2Success Planner

@@bodendorfer thanks for responding. I went to your site to learn more about it. Am trying to decide which of all devices I want to try to use it in... :) that was an awesome idea!!!!
Hi, may I ask Onyx Boox is support with Notion? Thank you guy
if it is an app that you can download from google play, then I believe it would support it.
Really nice video and nice profile :-) you have a new subscriber. Cheers mate!
Welcome aboard! What does it mean to have a nice profile? Any thing I can do to improve?
Seems all these features that were behind a subscription before are now free and the subscription for cloud is a lot cheaper. Does that change the conclusion at all? - I like the idea of Android but the apps are not that well optimised for eInk so you end up needing to fiddle with settings like disabling page turn animations on kindle, the remarkable still looks a lot more sleek both software and hardware if your requirements are distraction free note taking.
Thank you for your review! However, I want to use the Rem2 or Boox for taking notes during therapy sessions on a pdf that I already have laid out... I currently print out the pdf on paper and fill in the different sections on the printed paper and then keep paper charts (I know! Don't laugh! LOL) Anyhow, trying to go completely paper-free in 2024! So, can I use Boox to import in my pdf session forms and then write into the sections on them AND THEN send the completed filled-in sheet to my clients by email...? Thank you so much for any guidance you can give me!
yes you should be able to do that. You might need to modify the spacing, but if you are handwriting on paper it shouldn't make much of a different on the device.
How does handwriting work in One Note on this device? Is it able to convert it to text?
If you are using OneNote, there is several ways to accomplish this. The best way is to write your notes on your device. Allow them to sync to your desktop and then confirm them to text. I show this in this video. Also this is a video that shows you a few great tips including on to use outlooks meetings and tasks in the Key2Success Planner with OneNote: ruclips.net/video/E2ZSRxII-TE/видео.html
What about palm rejection? Both are great/good/ok?
Palm rejection on the remarkable is superb. On the note air is great. Couple miss fires but nothing that I would get bent over about. And most of those issues only occurred when I was writing very close to the bottom of the screen.
It's just black and white though right?
Can you use work/school accounts with the Air2?
I use Zone Cloud from work so I can easily share or view documents from work on my computer or my note 2
What was the bluetooth keyboard that was shown around 12:35?
Here is the keyboard: amzn.to/3EWXdkV
What is the learning curve on this? Can i download my books to read on it?
Yes you can download books, you can even download the Kindle app and get books from the Kindle store on your Boox. The learning curve is that of learning to use your phone.
@@bodendorfercan you also write on your ebooks? Or is that tied to what for app you are using?
How’s the pencil ?
The pencil on both devices is very comparable. I would say I like the feel of the pro pencil by Boox over the standard.
Does it connect to Google Docs and Google Drive?
The boox can connect to them. You can download the apps in the google play store.
@bodendorfer thank you very much.
I'll be short and concise:
Remarkable = marketing scam milking consumers who didn't put the research in which devices are out there, the monthly feature plans clearly show that.
Onyx = quality & quantity first, new feature releases are always worth it. It's not a remarkable killer, remarkable was never alive in the first place besides their fancy marketing.
Bought my onyx boox note air 1 instead of the RM2 and have not regretted it ever since.
Using it for 2 years now, 0 failures, solid battery, solid storage space.
Friend of mine got the RM2, 6months and it stopped working for no reason and he had to get a new one from RM for free (good service, but still)
Can't wait for the Boox Note Air 3
Fav feature: recordings one notes for when you can't be taking enough notes in meetings as being present in the moment is more important, but you also dont want to miss anything 👌
I think the Onyx Note is similar to the Kindle Scribe in functionality but I prefer the Remarkable 2 for distraction free, optimal focus environment and high level learning tool. I definitely agree that the Onyx OneNote integration is a plus but when I need to isolate myself from all temptations then my Remarkable 2 is my only option. I don’t need nor desire multiple devices (phone, iPad, Computer) to keep track of. The Remarkable 2 with Connect allows me to archive and retrieve my notes from a single location. Onyx Note is a great product but nothing can replace my iPad Pro for that range of functionality but the distraction level is super high.
So the Kindle Scribe and reMarkable are more comparable than the Onxy Boox and the Scribe. The Boox runs off an Android mobile OS, so there is a lot more access to apps. But if you are looking for a productivity monster, the iPad is the place to be.
same. People don't get it that Remarkable 2 is made for optimal focus. and imagine having 4 split screens in 1 screen that's crazy enough to destroy your focus. True, Ipad is there for all the functions we need. Remarkable 2 is there for focus, isolation and deep work
looked into Remarkable before and the subscription service for basic functionalities was a deal breaker for me. I'll be choosing BOOX. thanks for the comparison video.
Is it left-hand friendly?
My wife is left handed and she does just fine writing in it.
Ok - convinced that Onyx Book is better then the Remarkable 2 - but you mentioned it works with Android and Google play and I have only Apple products - is this a MAJOR drawback???
Great question. So I use apple products as well. I use onenote for note taking which syncs across devices. Now when it comes to onenote. The air plus 2 will do a great job but the Ultra is simply with out a doubt a step up when it comes to screen refresh and overall experience. I use the book ultra and all my notes sync between the device and my apple gear.
I own a rm2 since when it came out. Never used it that much because of missing features to integrate it into my daily workflow. Now I bought myself a BOOX Air Plus 3 C. It is a game changer. Would never go back to the Remarkable.
I am looking to do a review on the Air Plus 3. Excited to see what features that has to offer.
You know what has no distractions when writing? Paper… I have a Boox. Decided on that because it wasn’t locked behind a paywall like the Remarkable. But as I am a writer, being able to store all of my notes in one place helps my productivity. Though, I still don’t make use of that benefit. Because, as I stated, I’m a writer.
I just purchased the Rem2 and am actually looking for a decent folio alternative and happened across your video. I was curious though if id dont the right thing going woth the significantly less expensive Remarkable.
Actually, you've convinced me i did. I have an Android tablet, in that i have a Chromebook, my phone, a desktop, and the Remarkable was to be for non-distracting writing. Watching this review made me realize the Onyx would put me right back into distractions again, the very reason I bought the Remarkable. This gave me the answer i wanted. The purchase of the Remarkable was right fir me. Now, back to my search for a perfect folio.
That's great to hear. Two like minded devices for entirely different set ups.
What pen are you using? :)
on the onxy, I am using the pro.
Can I use headphones with Onyx?
bluetooth for sure.
I LOVE my Remarkable 2 despite its downfalls. I may like a better e-paper device, than you for this video. I would 100% offer my husband my Remarkable 2 to my husband.
Damn I might have to return my remarkable when it arrives.. I use OneNote for work that would be so useful and screensharing!? Audiobooks?! Damn that thing making the remarkable look like some indie nas device software
Well to be fair about the distraction thing: On the iPad you have the choice of turning on a focus mode, where you can turn off notifications, or allow certain notifications to reach you during a set period of time. Or just turn on airplane mode.
For me, the reMarkable 2 and the Air 2 Plus are more of a style choice. E Ink does have a certain kind of old school magic.
I’ll support that
How is writing left-handed on devices like this?
My wife is left handed and I have watched her use it several times. Now I will be honest, watching left handers write gives me the Willies, but the end product is still good. I feel for left handers. It's a tough world.
First things first!
can you browse internet with boox?
Yea you can.
it depends on what you need.. i think the RM2 is really for students and alike.
i bought remarkable 2 for the sole purpose of taking notes during seminar. and now that im studying my orthodontic preceptorship, very useful during our meetings. just take out. take notes, upload the file in drive and thats it.
i think if you need to synchronize it with your calendar and other work app RM2 is not for you.
but my phone is already providing me those cute calendar, notes and notifications😁
Never used any of them, but I feel that the remarkable screen res is a bit better, it's clear, white and eye-friendly than Boox.
that is a very fair comment. I do see what you are saying about that.
All the email, speaker and all this extra features its already in our phone.
I've breezed through a couple of these videos and they all seem to just be an advertisement for the planner rather than actual reviews.
Michael, I first would suggest that you watch the full details of the content. The videos are designed for those that use are system and want to understand not only how to improve their planning skills, but how it choose the right tech as well as know how to use it for digital planning. If you are not a digital planner and only looking at the video in terms of which toy I want to purchase, then yes I would agree with your statement. However, the value is in the return earned from proper planning.
I'm curious why one would buy an Onyx for $479 when an iPad is the same price. That seems like it would be a great video :)
Great question... Better Question is why do I use both each day... I actually thought about doing this video, however I didn't want to come off with someone that spends too much money on tech. I use different devices for different reasons. I do find myself using my surface more and more since the latest updates which will be a video I will produce soon.
@@bodendorfer I think that would be an awesome video. I very much believe in the "right tool for the right job". Hmmm may that would be a possible title :)
That was actually my thinking about the tablets. I carried a Franklin Day planner for years along with my other items.
150 euros more but it is definitely worth it. Re2 is just for schools or offices. It does not open jpg, png, or any other format despite pdf and a single ebook format.
I own both ReMarkable 2 and a couple Boox devices; I feel Boox destroys ReMarkable which really seems to upset some ReMarkable users 😅. Great review 😁👍
I have notice that too. Why do you think remarkable users get so defensive?
@@bodendorfer I'm not too sure, but it feels similar to how some get about apple products, or in the console world I think Xbox users more so than playstation users would get some weird entitlement that they have the best gaming system 😅. I guess it's the fanboy/fangirl affect that ReMarkable 2 has established in the few years they've existed; which is super bizarre!
My only guess as to why the users feel it this way is that ReMarkable has spent a fortune on ads convincing people that their device is THE BEST for workers, students, professionals, etc. that want a distraction free work space with the "best writing feel" like writing on paper. And while the writing experience is great, I personally felt the ReMarkable 1 felt more "paper" like as the screen was plastic with more grit. The ReMarkable 2 has returned to using glass that I think has a slight coating on it, etc. According to GoodEreader the absolute best writing feeling is the latest Fujitsu Quaderno which has the similar plastic feeling/grit of ReMarkable 1.
As for distraction free, you can make ANY device distraction free. I had a Samsung tablet that I used for reading before I got into Eink devices. It had literally only the Kindle App, libby, Marvel unlimited, and comixology (now I would add dc universe and perlego to it as I have to my Boox devices 😁). I had no email, notifications were turned off, etc. On my Boox I have kept email, buy removed notifications. I personally have no temptation to browse the web on Eink really, so for me I hold any of those Boox devices and they have the same distraction free space as the ReMarkable 2.
I think for most users ReMarkable 2 is the first and for a while only Eink writing epaper device that they have ever heard of. But they could choose from Supernote, Fujitsu Quaderno, Onyx Boox Nova series, Note series and Max Lumi series; Bigme has around 10 or so devices, Meebook has a few, both Meebook and Bigme have Google Play like Boox; Sony DPT Quirklogic Papyr, Hanvon, Hyglaze, the PineNote (identical physically to ReMarkable 2, but significantly cheaper with no subscription with 128gb of storage and I believe 4gb of RAM vs. ReMarkable 2's 8gb and like 512mb RAM or something like that?) I know it's a bit finicky as it's apparently super open world for developers to play with and then as common users we have to possibly pick which software to download for writing latency, etc.? I don't totally get PineNote so anyone interested do more research 😅.
ReMarkable is also fairly new on the scene, Boox has been around for like over 10 years, but have never pumped in the money into their ads the way ReMarkable has. So my guess is that ReMarkable users have less knowledge about the competitors that exist out there and once they do stumble on them and hear their device may be inferior they get defensive, because everything they've ever heard from ReMarkable has told them they are the greatest device, etc. 😅. AS A REMARKABLE user I would hope that this fairly new subscription service would add many new software features and perhaps beef up the customer service department that is often complained about it! 😅 instead they seem to keep pumping out ads
I think it's because unconsciously the want to justify investment they made on the remarkable
@@MrJLIbarra fr when they know that there are better options out there
Will all your notes end up in China with the onix ?
