The fact that this thing is approaching iPad prices is ridiculous. At this point just get a base spec iPad and slap a matte screen protector on it. Better writing quality and you can game or browse the internet too.
That's all I could think. I have an ipad with a keyboard and pencil. After my student discount I think it was like 350$ CAD total I think? It's been a while since I bought it. I use it almost daily for procreate and note taking. Is there any appeal to this tablet other than the matte screen?
The whole idea of this device is to keep you full focus on your work without any distractions. I agree with the price point and I believe there is better choice on paper tablet market than remarkable.
Now if only they didn't cost as much as a gaming upper mid range gaming PC. Fun fact, these things cost a fortune because only one single company is making these e-ink displays. It's actually super cheap tech that costs pennies to produce. But they sell it at ultra premium prices. And that kinda made sense like 2 decades ago. When e-ink was still super niche and specialized. It made sense when e-readers were just becoming a thing. Today, ereaders and e-ink screens for tons of applications are super widespread. But the entire industry is monopolized under one single coporation that is selling the screens for insanely premium prices. So 99% of ereaders we can buy are super expensive and come with cut corners all around because manufacturers are trying to keep their costs down. That's why our ereaders all feel like they're straight out of 2003. Imagine if these things were very affordable. Imagine how it would change learning, teaching, note taking, writing, drawing etc and how many kids it would encourage to learn/read. These things should be part of the school curriculum. Kids should be carrying these instead of super heavy bags of books that they can hardly carry.
@@focalized definitely, perhaps if I was carrying a bag full of books I wouldn't have had tendonitis from carrying my bag full of books. I jest but seriously, maybe if there were fewer books a day it would be actually helpful
@@sonicmastersword8080 It's actually 650 euro for just tablet with nothing added to it and the lower quality pen. If you upgrade to the better pen it's 700. The folio costs another 100 euro (150/200 depending on the material of the folio you choose), 250 if you want the keyboard one (so now it's 950 already. The real cheapest price is 800, with the cheapest folio (you're going to want a case/protective cover for something this large, fragile/thin and expensive) and the upgraded pen (you're likely buying it to take notes etc, why would you buy it without the good pen? Upgrading later will cost even more) And those are Euro prices, I imagine dollar prices are equal in amount. But converting Euro it would be even more expensive.
Only one main company makes them because it's such a niche piece of technology, along with this the expense comes from the complex manufacturing process and the face that there is a high chance of defects (which gets exponentially more likely the bigger the screen) and so there's alot of wastage.
If it's something that helps your productivity and you use it on the reg? I think it's worth it. My cell phone costs more than this and it's ruined my life.

Paper, it's cheap, has real time feedback, and if it breaks or scratches, you don't have to worry, just grab another sheet. Maybe one day these e-ink displays will become fast, enough, tough enough, and cheap enough, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

i got one of these in 2022.. saved up for it during my internship. barely used it then, never use it now.. it just isn’t for me. i’m in grad school now and i prefer notebooks not just for the pen and paper but it’s just how my brain works where if i don’t physically see the notebook associated with what class i’m taking, it doesn’t exist. with this logic i’d need like four of these devices. i’ll see how i feel like using it when i start working - and if i feel like buying the subscription
I have one at work and I’ve only used it once. The only real use for me is if I have to take notes during a meeting, so I can quickly convert them into an email for whoever needs them. I don’t have to do that very often though. I’m the same as you with wanting real notebooks, if I take a note somewhere electronically I will forget it exists unless I have some sort of reminder set. I like flipping through pages to see what I’ve jotted down also, it helps me remember and I feel like it’s quicker for me personally. I have a stationery obsession also lol
I've got a couple as well. I used mine for maybe a day or two and now it sits on one of my book cases, dead and collecting dust. As for the other one, my daughter misplaced it, and the wife thinks she may have either thrown it away or packed it into a box somewhere. I thought it was a cool idea at the time when we got them, but my phone works just as good and I use that more than another device needed to be dragged along.

See a ton of people renting about this device. Well i can't really talk about this one, but I've used the remarkable 2 for multiple years now. Yes it technically is a worse tablet, but its worse in the right ways. Its worse in the things that would reduce your productivity, like yes you can't watch movies or use tiktok, but it's basically exactly what you want to stay productive. I've been using it for learning, note taking and so on, and i absolutely love it. And i also think this new pro version is a step ahead. Remarkables are expensive, but they also feel like a premium device. And in some ways it also is better than a tablet. I use it like 6 hours a day, and it's not eye straining. Also, with 6 hours of use, i get about 4 days of battery life (it's almost 4 years old now). And the feeling of writing is also just really good. I personally hate writing on normal screens, i don't like the feeling, but the remarkable 2 does really feel better. It may not be the device for everyone, but it is for some people. Also holy shit why did i write this essay.
see, its been good, but i think the touch screen could be improved because, unless its just me, sometimes i have a hard time getting the page to do what i want then i have to wait for it to do the clearing thing. its definitely nice for productivity sometimes, the only issue is, I'm at a computer screen when I'm using it so there's still distraction. i will praise it on the slim form factor because its the easiest thing to carry around.
It looks perfect for reading pdfs. The original kindle only works on black & white while I have ton of pdfs in color that takes your battery away and tires my eyes. Definitely a product to consider.
I can kind of understand, this device, but for that price. I don't know man. 649Eur for the tablet itself+marker included, the cover 99Eur and the keyboard 249Eur. For the complete package ~997Eur.
@BananaFrostHorseCave Man you guys are lucky even the reMarkable 2 ,here, costs us 449€. Also the pen is included for that 649€ (I was mistaken). Still even if it was without the pen you still would be looking at ~499€. The complete package for the reMarkable Paper Pro would still be ~997€. I could build a pretty great gaming PC with this kind of price tbh! :D It's weird bcs I thought that us Europeans would have it cheaper since the company was created/founded by a person in Norway.
@BananaFrostHorseCave Yeah and it sucks. Apple products in my country are super expensive even compared to other European countries. For example iPhone 16 128GB starts at 989€. 256GB - 1119€, 512GB - 1389€. iPhone 16 Pro 128GB starts at 1249€. 256GB - 1389€, 512GB - . iPhone 16 Plus 128GB - 1139€, 256GB - 1139€, 512GB - 1519€. iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at 256GB - 1519€, 512GB - 1759€, 1TB - 1899€. The Titanum versions are all 1999€. Except for the Natural one which is - 2009€ for some reason. A fully maxed out Macbook Pro 16 inhc with the M3 MAX and max storage option can cost ~4999€. The PS5 costs ~540€. The Slim - 425€. The cheapest prices of new consoles that I could find. I have seen them go up to 750€ for the PS5. The average person in my country earns ~1000Eur a month on paper. Also the minimum salary here is less than 8400€ a year. Food costs are also high, for example I need to pay at least 100-150€ for food, if I just bought anything I wanted it would easily reach 200+€. Medicine is also super expensive. It's really bad. Living is like hell. Finding an apartment for a normal price (less than 400€ a month) with everything (water electricity etc.) is almost impossible. There's also bed bug infestation in one city. Where 50% of homes have bed bugs and nothing is being done about this. My dorm that I was living in had mold on the ceiling, just a hole for ventilation. It was bad, but at least this year they fixed those things. I am not trying to live, but I am actually struggling to actually live.

@@joshharrison9054 Not sure where you are, but in the US it's $580 for the tablet. All of the accessories & upgrades in this video sets it to about $1,050 though.
My favorite part about e-ink displays is how disgustingly gray they look in reality, especially with how white they make them look in marketing. Thanks for showing off the grayness.
I have the Remarkable 2, it's super awesome! When I was in school, I could email in my assignments. Now that I'm out, I can sketch things and export them to my computer as SVGs or PNGs. I think it's well-worth the money since I've already got so much out of it!
@@LuigiTuazon Where are you going to find a pen and paper for less than a dollar in 2024? A decent pen alone is going to set you back at least $3. It's also at least $3 or $4 for a pad of paper these days as well. Maybe at a Dollar Tree you could find paper and pen for $1.25 each, but poor quality. Maybe you might get lucky on a back to school sale and get a notepad for $0.89 but that is becoming more and more less likely with inflation.
I just love paper. I don’t care that I’m disorganised, I keep it all in folders, saving key notes digitally, then go through the folders once a year for curiosity. Ahh paper, my true love. Sorry, advertising companies
As someone who uses the reMarkable2, I love these things. I don't need colour (or the backlighting) but I can see how some people might. It's a bit expensive for what it is though.
I would really like to read this book, as I am trying to learn as much as I can from fischer. I am almost done with my 60 memorable games. Thanks ChessDojo for this opportunity ❤!
Sincerely jealous. I have been talking myself out of buying one since the first generation because it is a high expense for something that I could not use at work (my job would expose it to oil, dirt, dust, etc every day), but the paper like screen along with many of its features makes it so very appealing. Definitely a luxury purchase, and a great example of luxury tech
So, this is the same technology as the Kindle. Like. Exact same. I think specifically the oasis? That's the one I have. However. For the longest time they couldn't figure out how to make it in color. Now, this has color which is very interesting to me. Which means that a kindle in color is an option now, and probably already in the making! An exciting day for people who use Kindles.
Let's be real...nothing is like writing pen to paper yet. All these hype products will make you spend deep and you'll then justify/compromise for the money spent.
You misunderstood the assignment : It's e-paper, digital paper like screens for writers, students, engineering etc. It increases productivity via less distractions and doomscrooling.
Because we carry them now and bigger does not mean stronger. Material choice and engineering is the biggest thing. Let’s also not forget that people just like a device that looks good. Hence the iPhones design not being super sturdy, but people still love it without a case
It's an E-book with extra steps. You know what's better? A tablet, especially the Samsung S8~10 Tab Ultra. Sure it's practically the same price but let's be honest, it will do the same thing as that paper pro and you can even play games, watch movies, doesn't have a screen delay slower than monitors from the 90's and IT HAS A BACK LIGHT! Shocking, I know. Oh yeah you can also attach a mouse and a keyboard to the tablet with a USB C.
The text to pdf conversion for notes and pen/keyboard hybridity are great too if you have to jot down pages and pages every day. E-ink notepads are also a great way to incorporate “realistic feeling” paper notetaking into a digital workflow without having to type everything up on your office PC after the fact.

Yes, you can access the internet. Just be aware that this is solely a notetaking/document-viewing device. You won't be able to use it for leisure activities like you can do on a phone or Apple/Samsung tablet. If all you want it for is for the notetaking aspect, then go for it if you have the money ig. Also, it requires a monthly subscription, so it's an unending price tag if you plan to use it for a while.
If you go by spec wise, then it's a great alternative to Kindle, smartphone and tablet. But I personally think that if you really value that authentic emotion, which won't harm your eyes, you better go with a physical journal, a physical pen, and a physical book. (whatever you want to read.) There is no need to buy the brand-new ones, rather go for the used. Once read, either keep or sell the same. For digital communication like messengers, emails, and calls & to listen to music, get a smart dumb phone, which can handle these stuffs. Get a compact camera to shoot pictures. Yes, I know that contrary to a smartphone, these stuffs like the journal, that pen, that book, the dumbphone and that camera will eat out more space and be heavier, but you will be out of the loop of the unnecessary internet stuffs like reels, useless videos, soon. Adapt to this lifestyle for a week, just for a week; you will have more fun than the smartphone world.
I can't use paper journals, I've tried. I'm dyspraxic and have wonky connective tissue, so my writing comes out illegible, or I need to take so long writing that it's pointless. Devices like this are a lifesaver, and are also easier on my ADHD too.
What do you mean, this has better specs than a phone or tablet? That just straight up isn't true. The specs are fine for what this is: a digital notebook/document viewer. But if it had the ability to do the things that a phone or tablet can do, then it would be drastically worse. Besides, what would it need extremely high-powered specs for? Like I said, the whole point is to take notes and view documents. It doesn't NEED uber-high specs.

Where 50% of homes have bed bugs and nothing is being done about this. My dorm that I was living in had mold on the ceiling, just a hole for ventilation. It was bad, but at least this year they fixed those things. I am not trying to live, but I am actually struggling to actually live.
So almost 1000€ for that I just buy myself an iPad. I’m sorry but this price is not justifiable by saying “it feels like paper”.

this can actually improve my productivity at school but like the price is a little steep...
My favorite part about e-ink displays is how disgustingly gray they look in reality, especially with how white they make them look in marketing. Thanks for showing off the grayness.
I know someone who uses one at school. It's an amazing product, but bro the price is huge !
I'd just buy a pen and paper with less than a dollar.
I have the Remarkable 2, it's super awesome! When I was in school, I could email in my assignments. Now that I'm out, I can sketch things and export them to my computer as SVGs or PNGs. I think it's well-worth the money since I've already got so much out of it!
@@LuigiTuazon Where are you going to find a pen and paper for less than a dollar in 2024? A decent pen alone is going to set you back at least $3. It's also at least $3 or $4 for a pad of paper these days as well.
Maybe at a Dollar Tree you could find paper and pen for $1.25 each, but poor quality. Maybe you might get lucky on a back to school sale and get a notepad for $0.89 but that is becoming more and more less likely with inflation.

You can see the lag 🤣 when he’s backspacing the words off the page, you can see the letters don’t disappear all at the same times
As someone who uses the reMarkable2, I love these things. I don't need colour (or the backlighting) but I can see how some people might. It's a bit expensive for what it is though.
THAT. it's Way expensive for what it is. I'd love that thing to take notes and sketches but not at that price. when it will be half off, maybe.
It's for a particular type of person. I use a lot of color when I'm sketching diagrams, and I hated how an iPad strained my eyes.
Brought me back to the essence of this channel ❤️
The way it was unpacked so viscerally reminds me of the videos of people unpacking outdated military equipment
I would really like to read this book, as I am trying to learn as much as I can from fischer. I am almost done with my 60 memorable games. Thanks ChessDojo for this opportunity ❤!
Sincerely jealous. I have been talking myself out of buying one since the first generation because it is a high expense for something that I could not use at work (my job would expose it to oil, dirt, dust, etc every day), but the paper like screen along with many of its features makes it so very appealing. Definitely a luxury purchase, and a great example of luxury tech

Probably because the box is the only thing actually made of paper

So, this is the same technology as the Kindle. Like. Exact same. I think specifically the oasis? That's the one I have. However. For the longest time they couldn't figure out how to make it in color. Now, this has color which is very interesting to me. Which means that a kindle in color is an option now, and probably already in the making! An exciting day for people who use Kindles.

I never understood the fantasy with wanting your electronics paper thin. Wouldn't you want them thicker so they're physically stronger?
You misunderstood the assignment : It's e-paper, digital paper like screens for writers, students, engineering etc. It increases productivity via less distractions and doomscrooling.
@@DemShottayou didn’t read his comment at all did you?
you saw the device did it look paper thin to you?
Because we carry them now and bigger does not mean stronger. Material choice and engineering is the biggest thing. Let’s also not forget that people just like a device that looks good. Hence the iPhones design not being super sturdy, but people still love it without a case
@@SnowMexican69420🎉

It follows the Apple model of giving you less and making you pay more. If this were 1/3rd the price it'd be a viable tablet.

@@TigerGreene valid
@@TigerGreeneit seems lazy
It's an E-book with extra steps. You know what's better? A tablet, especially the Samsung S8~10 Tab Ultra. Sure it's practically the same price but let's be honest, it will do the same thing as that paper pro and you can even play games, watch movies, doesn't have a screen delay slower than monitors from the 90's and IT HAS A BACK LIGHT! Shocking, I know.
Oh yeah you can also attach a mouse and a keyboard to the tablet with a USB C.
Be gone with you nay sayer from the 21st Century. If the Emperor says he has new clothes…..
Monitors in the 90s had a MUCH faster refresh than they do now.
The text to pdf conversion for notes and pen/keyboard hybridity are great too if you have to jot down pages and pages every day. E-ink notepads are also a great way to incorporate “realistic feeling” paper notetaking into a digital workflow without having to type everything up on your office PC after the fact.
@@littlefrank90 i dont thinks so :D we didnt have 240hz monitors in the 90s
@@dDraqoNn CRT montiors refresh rate doesn't really compare to modern lcd displays. The input lag is non-percivable and old 85hz CRT has motion clarity which is infinitely higher than a 240hz led.

I'm curious if it can acess the internet 🤔 Then this is a definite purchase 😊
Yes, it can. It can connect to your email and Google Drive.
Yes, you can access the internet. Just be aware that this is solely a notetaking/document-viewing device. You won't be able to use it for leisure activities like you can do on a phone or Apple/Samsung tablet. If all you want it for is for the notetaking aspect, then go for it if you have the money ig. Also, it requires a monthly subscription, so it's an unending price tag if you plan to use it for a while.
Sooo, did thousands of people seriously upvote an iPad-Kindle mix? Do you people seriously think this is innovative?
PFFFFT 600 bucks ya right!
Correction: 930 CAD before taxes?!
If you go by spec wise, then it's a great alternative to Kindle, smartphone and tablet. But I personally think that if you really value that authentic emotion, which won't harm your eyes, you better go with a physical journal, a physical pen, and a physical book. (whatever you want to read.)
There is no need to buy the brand-new ones, rather go for the used. Once read, either keep or sell the same.
For digital communication like messengers, emails, and calls & to listen to music, get a smart dumb phone, which can handle these stuffs. Get a compact camera to shoot pictures.
Yes, I know that contrary to a smartphone, these stuffs like the journal, that pen, that book, the dumbphone and that camera will eat out more space and be heavier, but you will be out of the loop of the unnecessary internet stuffs like reels, useless videos, soon.
Adapt to this lifestyle for a week, just for a week; you will have more fun than the smartphone world.
Then how did u wrote this comment
@@GreatTaiwan laptop
If you go by specs this is absolutely trash compared to a similarly priced tablet
I can't use paper journals, I've tried. I'm dyspraxic and have wonky connective tissue, so my writing comes out illegible, or I need to take so long writing that it's pointless. Devices like this are a lifesaver, and are also easier on my ADHD too.
What do you mean, this has better specs than a phone or tablet? That just straight up isn't true. The specs are fine for what this is: a digital notebook/document viewer. But if it had the ability to do the things that a phone or tablet can do, then it would be drastically worse. Besides, what would it need extremely high-powered specs for? Like I said, the whole point is to take notes and view documents. It doesn't NEED uber-high specs.
I dont find any use of these useless tablets.
work
its the product for the riches for sure
then dont buy it??
They are better than they look
For the price point I’d rather just get an iPad… makes more sense

It may not be as good as paper, but doesn't it stroke your ego knowing what a good consumer you are?
Cant be selling 800+ dollar tablets with bezels like that man
Because you guys haven't tried this you dont know the possibilities...if I would had 800 bucks, I would choose this 👀✌🏻
Bad choice, it’s a mediocre product with bad usability for a premium price. Also you will still also need a computer
Nothing can replace paper, even eInk one
But for reading it's alright
This has done more to get me interested in the product than all the ads combined
I believe they have already made a cheaper version of this called a pencil
Wasteful
Kinda useless

It does the same as an Android tablet or an Wacom,but way more expensive!!!
It’s like having the joy of paying for all the paper you could ever use but just getting one piece!
Over exaggerating the the action noises inspires deep anger within my soul, but the pencil scratching on paper is most satisfying. You are forgiven.
