Its will be awesome, Im a medical student and in my classes I take a lot of notes and need to read a lot of books with so much images or the books are just made more friendly design with colors, diagrams. When you have a black -white device you definitely lost that detail, we need color to highlight and we need the color when we read
Maybe if it came out a decade ago... this is one of those things people buy, use for a few weeks and then never use again. One Note/SharePoint is way better for students since you can work on notes together. And if you want to hand write j get a tablet. It does look super satisfying to draw on though
Because that's additional money for programming, testing, and updating, and a further step away from the core purpose of the product? If you're not sold on the core idea, a dictionary for the e-reader isn't going to do it for you. And if you are sold on the core idea, not having that isn't a dealbreaker.
BooX Note Air is a nice alternative if you want both note taking device and feature-rich e-reader. Apparently the reMarkable is not addressing that market. The Note Air syncs with Evernote, but does not have the paper feel out-of-the-box.
I assume it’s because it’s not made for reading books as much as it is for drawing and writing. Most of the time, you don’t really need to define a word if you’ve written it. You usually know what it means when you write something.
I just received the remarkable 2 and I am completely blown away by it's quality. I love the pen feel; it's exactly like paper! Also, the device easily transfers notes as a PDF via email. This is incredibly useful for attending a meeting where only one person needs to take notes.
Wow! A grey highlighter! That's crazy useful. Now I can highlight all of the important bits and sort them by... colour...?...SHADE! Now each and every one of my notes can become a 50 shades of grey novel
Beautiful device, but why oh why? Why couldn't they make it so that it's fully functional e-book reader too? Is it too much to ask for a 10 inch e-reader/e-paper device?
Allen C precisely my complaint. They seem far too concerned with looks and hardware elegance over software and functionality. reMarkable 2 doesn't solve any problems with the original device and it doesn't look like their focus is on fixing any of those problems, so it looks like I'll be returning mine
Light is NOT something you want... Prioritizing writing is eink just underneath the pen with no glass in between! The glass would be needed to spread the light. You don't want that. Also the eye strain comes from lighting, it is just way better to illuminate your surroundings!!!
@@dandovueltas1 You need something, glass or plastic, that spreads the light. If you try to just illuminate it from the sides it will not be uniform and the middle will get no light. To spread the light you need thickness and a conduit to lead the light into the middle of the display and leak light down into the reflective display. No matter how you try to do this it will require a thickness and THIS will separate your pen and the visual surface you are "writing" on. For me, this has nothing to do with price or "2020". This is one of many design decisions the Remarkable have done that some do not like but will give a better writing experience. Illuminate the room. If you cannot see what you write on paper, you will not see what you write on Remarkable. For me this is perfectly allright.
Just read the review on your website. They almost had me, until it mentioned you have to use an application to load ebook and pdfs onto it. Its like the 1990's with my Psion Series 3! Seriously though, it should be nothing more than a drive on desktop and drag files onto it. Dedicated apps should be a thing of the past.
@@MD-mh2bj File transfer is not as complicated as stated in the video. You can either use the remarkable software to just drag and drop files onto the device and it will transfer over the cloud. Or if you dont want to use the cloud system you can go into the settings and enable the web interface, then you can just navigate to its web page when connected via usb and drag & drop to transfer. If using cloud transfer then you don't need to worry about having a cable or even being by your tablet, next time you turn on the remarkable it will sync.
@@MD-mh2bj That's fair, but would mean more development for them and an extra thing to debug. Adding additional points of failure for a very new OS and device. As it is purely a software limitation it could quite easily be added further down the line as the USB can transmit data as well as power.
Man, I was waiting for this video for so long, please make another one and explore more with comparison to other ebooks in the market Thank you for the video
If it goes out for such a high price ($400) I would instead buy an 7th gen iPad with pencil and paperlike screen protector (around $30 more expensive), I mean you won't have the same feeling at the writing but at least you will have the option to write with different colous which is a very high priority thing for me as my notes are all color coded, plus you have a fully functional device that can browse the internet, watch movies, create presentations etc. This would be a must buy if it retailed at around $100-$150
It's not true that you need the pc and remarkable opened at same time. You can upload your files on the PC or mobile app and when you connect wifi in remarkable, automatically check the changes with your cloud library. If they are new books/ files or you delete anything, the remarkable library updates to show that changes. And if you write something new in a book or you do a new notebook, the device upload it to the cloud. I feel very comfortable with that "cloud" system.
@@lsutoob I'm glad I help you. I'll like that remarkable could be connected via usb more easyly (now is a bit... Non-intuitive) but the cloud connection works really well. I've found myself downloading pdf's in my mobile, importing it to remarkable app, and when I arrived at home, open remarkable and read it there. So easy
The device is beautiful, but not going to lie ...I'm a bit disappointed about the screen size. I thought it would be a little bit bigger or edge to edge.
The edge to edge is fine. The feature list is not. Not for that price. I get it, they're focusing on simplicity and and core functionality being very polished, but not having features users NEED in addition, is not good. I get the feeling they're going to start a subscription for their cloud services, which is scary. Not allowing your own drop box or Google drive integration is a terrible move
@@MooMooCow95 Handwriting and text conversion seems to be better on remarkable, for some people including me text conversion is essential and as for now I have found no tool that does it well. But I agree with you Onyx seems superior particularly on the reading and reviewing side of their software.
This seems like a rather cool device but too much for me to spend right now. I hope remarkable finds some success and keeps developing their technology so I can I pick up a Remarkable8 one day.

Important about E-Books! If they haven't changed anything (which is my bet), the reMarkable can only display NON-DRM eBooks and PDF. Learned that the hard way. Never had an eReader so how was I supposed to know.

How can all of the reviews of this thing fail to mention the battery time? did Remarkable have a clause to stop the ones who got a pre-production copy?
So close to perfect, if it had a diary/calendar and better e-reader functionality it would be my forever device. Colour e-ink is on the way, perhaps we will have colour highlighters in the next iteration.
The Marker Plus does have a built-in eraser but costs a little more. I ordered one with my reMarkable 2 and, here in Australia, it cost an extra AU$90.
>>>nice device, BUT hoping the developers will work on their pricing, otherwise the Android app "LectureNotes" is already doing more. All one need is a device with stylus
About file transfer: I have remarkable 1. Did anything change in terms of file transfer? As far as I know, the software is pretty much the same. For me, file transfer via cloud has beed always super swift. Just run the app, drag and drop, seconds later the PDFs or ebooks are on the device. And vice versa - draw or write something, run the app and see the document updated on the desktop or mobile app. I don't see any problems there! Cheers, thank you for your review!
I like the idea of a no distraction tablet that is solely for writing, though the only thing I think this tablet needs is an ereader other than that, I am happy.
my English is not good. I have been using ereader for more than 10 years, and when they put internal light on the readers it was a step forward. it is unthinkable that some ereader does not have internal light. but... reMarkable does not come with a backlight. This means you need light in the room to read or use it, just like you would with paper.
At first, I thought it could replace iPad , but 4:08 after seeing this bit slow motion, I've changed my mind.. If you ever experienced iPad or any other tablets, "Remarkable" might be stuffy from perspective of speed. But if this device costs extremely cheap, It would be an excellent alternative to paper.
The weave folio cover gets dirty easily but leather is expensive, Wish the text conversion wasn't just in the cloud - perhaps download language specific would make software smaller size
Thank you so much for the review. So let's say that all you want is a large device to read PDFs and make notes and highlights on those documents. What devices would you recommend?
@@augana For book reading this device or the previous one for cheaper price however for university i don't recommend it because its way too slow to study from it and its complicated to import pdf-s. I have a tab s7 but the tab s6 is also as good if you dont like ios
Just received my Remarkable 2. It can nothing compared to Onenote. you only use this because it is cool, and good to read on. not because you wanna be productive. and if you jsut wanna read good. jsut buy a big amazon kindle. it cost 80% less. lookingforward to see if Remarkable 3 has a chance in the game
In the UK they sell the marker for £49. It is basically a piece of plastic with a plastic tip. Want to upgrade to one with an eraser (that would be a small piece of plastic glued on top)? That would be an extra £50. Those prizes are so much off the top that it is an insult. By all means charge extra for a great design but do not treat your customers as if they were idiots.
@ I'm just saying that when comparing prices, the Remarkable it's not an intelligent buy. Would you buy an E reader if it was the same price as an iPad or a high end android tablet? No.
this just needs to be ebook friendly and then its perfect. I need an ebook to read grad/undergrad level books and I need to write notes on them. Why is that so hard.
@@Artonox Best in what? Other than the sleek look, I don't find this device that special imho. Edit: Still the supernote devices look nicer to me, but that's subjective.
So glad I cancelled my order and got the iPad Air instead. I was so infatuated with the remarkable 2 but honestly the iPad has too many productivity advantages it’s hard to justify the same price tag. There’s absolutely no way this device could keep up in lecture note taking.
thank you for these excellent rM videos! do you know of any other eink contenders that have OCR capabilities? that's a dealbreaker for me and it seems like the rM2 might be the only e-ink option with this functionality.
Needs frontlight, color e-ink, and 13.3". Until we get these three things in an eink device, the bigger iPad Pro is the best PDF reader. I have owned SONY DPT-RP1, Remarkable 1, various Kindle devices and Onyx Boox Note 2. They all failed for PDF reading for the lack of all 3 features.
I was a big fan of ReMarkable and like ReMarkable 2. My issue is that the pen is held on magnetically, not very securely and the tip is more fragile so the pen can fall and damage the tip -- or get lost! Perhaps they could make the pen attach on the INSIDE of the case.
there’s a paperlike screen protector for the ipad for 4€ on wish. also you can buy the good notes app for about 3€. and these two combined 100% substitute this tablet.
I kinda don’t get it. For its price you could get an IPad and slap a Paper-Like screen protector on it and you basically get this with much, much more functionality
The features sound amazing, but is out there something more? I mean: e-ink tablet that can read pdf, epub, doc, xls e ppt; that I can use to take notes and it feels like paper?
E-ink, long battery life, distraction free. Those three things can be incredibly valuable in the right situation. I have an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, but if I was back at university I'd still strongly consider the ReMarkable alongside it. The greater focus, no reflection display, and battery life would all have been fantastic for lectures. Beyond that, it would also have been great to take outdoors in the fresh air and natural light and still be able to get some revision done. There is some overlap, but the unique capabilities I listed is enough to set it apart - it'd only have to make me slightly more efficient, or slightly more focused, or save me a small amount of time, or reduce my stress by a small amount, to be worth it.
Reviewer: "There's nothing at all wrong with this device for what it's intended to do." Everyone in the comments: "Cars can't sail across the ocean, so I won't buy a car. And since this won't let me play Raid: Shadow Legends, it's complete garbage."
Having used version 1 for a couple of years and just received Remarkable 2 after about nearly 12 months!! I'm already having serious issues. The pen register contact with the face without contacting making normal clear writing impossible - something never seen with ReMarkable 1. I'm seriously deciding to send this back and go back to version 1 just concerned the virtual non existence of customer services to resolve issues
Can anyone explain why this would be better than a tablet like a surface tablet or iPad? Not judging because I think it looks good - just not sure what the main differences are for $300-$400
I don't get it. There's plenty of android tablets that do all of this and more for the same price and less. And they do it in color. This feels like going backwards and paying more for it. What am I missing?
@@amansquared4571 As far as I know, the Boox Note series and Likebook Mimas/Alita are aimed at a different audience than reMarkable and Supernote are. For me, I personally use a Likebook Mimas, but am sometimes jealous of the software on reMarkable and Supernote.
When will it available in india. I really need a note taking device in which I save my all grades notes. I need a single device for all my learnings from begining to current.
BIG BIG fail not including E-book full functionality like long-pressing for definitions or web search, if this device wants to compete, it has to replace the E-readers, specially at that price! I'll wait for the Remarkable 3 to include everything and then i'll consider buying one! :)
Can someone please talk about the security aspects of this device? Like what if you want to lock specific doc? Or can anyone who picks yo your remarkable read all your content?
This device looks so elegant.
No kidding, love the silvery bit.

In the UK they sell the marker for £49. It is basically a piece of plastic with a plastic tip. Want to upgrade to one with an eraser (that would be a small piece of plastic glued on top)? That would be an extra £50. Those prizes are so much off the top that it is an insult. By all means charge extra for a great design but do not treat your customers as if they were idiots.
How can I write at night please. There is no light on this tablet?
Humans need sleep
Turn your light on, it's bad to stare at screens at night anyway :)
Thanks for your replies. I have returned my remarkable unfortunately and bought an ipad pro 2020 instead, and I am very happy with my choice.
Very nice. Thank you for the review. A shame you didn't get to try out the pro-pen aswell ^_^
Summoning Morning Coach...
If it's not the best for note taking, which one would you say is the best?
Jerzy I use the Quaderno and Papyr you can check my channel lots of content there :)
@@morningcoach Thanks. I'll check it out!
Looks great, but 350??? I just bought a tab s6 lite for the same price, I believe it's too expensive
@ I'm just saying that when comparing prices, the Remarkable it's not an intelligent buy. Would you buy an E reader if it was the same price as an iPad or a high end android tablet? No.
this just needs to be ebook friendly and then its perfect. I need an ebook to read grad/undergrad level books and I need to write notes on them. Why is that so hard.
remarkable is not the only device, you know?.....
@@ahmedabdo13 but it's the best one I've seen in a long time
@@Artonox Best in what? Other than the sleek look, I don't find this device that special imho. Edit: Still the supernote devices look nicer to me, but that's subjective.
So glad I cancelled my order and got the iPad Air instead. I was so infatuated with the remarkable 2 but honestly the iPad has too many productivity advantages it’s hard to justify the same price tag. There’s absolutely no way this device could keep up in lecture note taking.
thank you for these excellent rM videos! do you know of any other eink contenders that have OCR capabilities? that's a dealbreaker for me and it seems like the rM2 might be the only e-ink option with this functionality.
Can you draw professionally on it and does it feel like REAL paper?
i really want this product but.....do i NEED it? probably not
Needs frontlight, color e-ink, and 13.3". Until we get these three things in an eink device, the bigger iPad Pro is the best PDF reader. I have owned SONY DPT-RP1, Remarkable 1, various Kindle devices and Onyx Boox Note 2. They all failed for PDF reading for the lack of all 3 features.
I was a big fan of ReMarkable and like ReMarkable 2. My issue is that the pen is held on magnetically, not very securely and the tip is more fragile so the pen can fall and damage the tip -- or get lost! Perhaps they could make the pen attach on the INSIDE of the case.
Waiting for Color variant of Remarkable
Well, this video is more an advertising than a review?
Swimming 1000 meters, coming to the screen and personally upvote personally Comment.
You are so cool!!!
there’s a paperlike screen protector for the ipad for 4€ on wish. also you can buy the good notes app for about 3€. and these two combined 100% substitute this tablet.
It seems to be amazing!
Great review. Question...is the tablet IP rated for waterproofing?
Good review. Not at all like the once who clearly just wants to sell the product. Informative.
FINALLY!!!!!
That a shame they did not invest a little effort in making this a more functional ebook reader. It would be a very attractive device then.
I kinda don’t get it. For its price you could get an IPad and slap a Paper-Like screen protector on it and you basically get this with much, much more functionality
this is the future but it’s not ready yet...
The features sound amazing, but is out there something more? I mean: e-ink tablet that can read pdf, epub, doc, xls e ppt; that I can use to take notes and it feels like paper?
I’m looking for the same answer
2:18 But can you rip it, burn it, fax, rename it? 😁
😂😂😂
Hmm...why should I buy it, when I can do all of these things on my Ipad with apple pencil? Because it's e-ink or beautiful?
E-ink, long battery life, distraction free. Those three things can be incredibly valuable in the right situation.
I have an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, but if I was back at university I'd still strongly consider the ReMarkable alongside it. The greater focus, no reflection display, and battery life would all have been fantastic for lectures.
Beyond that, it would also have been great to take outdoors in the fresh air and natural light and still be able to get some revision done.
There is some overlap, but the unique capabilities I listed is enough to set it apart - it'd only have to make me slightly more efficient, or slightly more focused, or save me a small amount of time, or reduce my stress by a small amount, to be worth it.
@@dandavidson4717 as someone who is currently in uni, I'd have to agree
I would definitely buy it... if it didn't cost $400 with the pre-order bonus.
Any part of the device, the front too? You didn't show that.
Reviewer: "There's nothing at all wrong with this device for what it's intended to do."
Everyone in the comments: "Cars can't sail across the ocean, so I won't buy a car. And since this won't let me play Raid: Shadow Legends, it's complete garbage."
Would you buy a car for the price of a yacht?
How much do they pay you to shill this shit
@@narkoman140 Pissed you can't play Raid: Shadow Legends on it?
@@narkoman140 You do know that there are plenty of cars that cost more than a yacht, right? lol
Having used version 1 for a couple of years and just received Remarkable 2 after about nearly 12 months!! I'm already having serious issues. The pen register contact with the face without contacting making normal clear writing impossible - something never seen with ReMarkable 1. I'm seriously deciding to send this back and go back to version 1 just concerned the virtual non existence of customer services to resolve issues
Can anyone explain why this would be better than a tablet like a surface tablet or iPad? Not judging because I think it looks good - just not sure what the main differences are for $300-$400
I don't get it. There's plenty of android tablets that do all of this and more for the same price and less. And they do it in color. This feels like going backwards and paying more for it. What am I missing?
Wich is the alternative to this device? (Similar functions and experience)
I'd say Supernote has the closest offering.
- Supernote
- Fujitsu Quaderno
- Quirklogic Papyr
- Sony Digital Paper
@@kbhasi boox note 2
@@amansquared4571
As far as I know, the Boox Note series and Likebook Mimas/Alita are aimed at a different audience than reMarkable and Supernote are.
For me, I personally use a Likebook Mimas, but am sometimes jealous of the software on reMarkable and Supernote.
Who wants to buy note2 at cheapest price !!
@@kbhasi This guy e-papers
When will it available in india. I really need a note taking device in which I save my all grades notes. I need a single device for all my learnings from begining to current.
BIG BIG fail not including E-book full functionality like long-pressing for definitions or web search, if this device wants to compete, it has to replace the E-readers, specially at that price! I'll wait for the Remarkable 3 to include everything and then i'll consider buying one! :)
So which device is the best that they've felt for writing?
If they just had 3 colours available I would already have bought it
Can someone please talk about the security aspects of this device? Like what if you want to lock specific doc? Or can anyone who picks yo your remarkable read all your content?
