Should you still buy a reMarkable 2 in 2024?
Переглядів 77 тис.Місяць тому
It's been almost four years since the reMarkable 2 was first released, and at that time there were no competitors and the device was clearly the best. Fast-forward to today, and a good bit has changed. Is the reMarkable still worth it in 2024? Let's find out.

    Thank you for the great video. I had been on the fence about the Go and your video convinced me place the order. Mine arrives next week. In the meantime, I also ordered the Dr. Grip Digital with a regular Dr. Grip pen to convert it like you did - any tips on how to do that? Seems like a different set of guts on the ink pen. I bought a blue Dr. Grip and not the exact black one you did, so maybe that is the issue.

    When I received my Go 10.3 I yestereday afternoon, I updated the system. But then there was a further update arriving on the scene last evening -- which mentioned some "keyboard fixes". So yes, I can now type on a text document (with Shift characters too) using a USB-C keyboard OR Bluetooth Keyboard. (It took quite a while to find my BT keyboard, but this is par for the course with many tablets and computers, subsequent connection will not be slow, I suspect). Also, the Kindle app is working ok -- best to choose the SPEED option and use Kindle's Page Turning Animation option to remove (or disguise) the pages jumping when turned (I'm not an expert at all, but this Android in general problem certainly appears when googling. The PTA is my solution to date). Yeah! we can type or write in an outside cafe while sipping a Cappucino!

    As far as the shift key problem. Was watching someone else talking about the Supernote and typing (i think it's in beta) and apparently shift key wasn't working on Supernote either.

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

  • @steverolfeca

    Everyone talks smack about Remarkable 2 because its "lack of features" just doesn't get why we are willing to pay the $$ in the first place. I already have those gadgets that drain battery for movies and games etc. I just need a device for note taking and writing books. It does it very well and the build quality is amazing. I wish it was half the price but it still worth its weight in gold to me.

    Having just obtained a used supernote A5x (not wanting to wait for an A5X2), I'm having trouble justifying a larger device. (Even if it's thinner). As it stands, it's a little awkward to take the A5x out of the house on errands. I can definitely take it with me in a brief case or backpack, but if I'm carrying it around in my hand to say the grocery store (with a shopping list, for instance), it feels like too much. For taking notes in meetings, the a5x feels about right. A smaller device would have too little real estate for writing, but a larger device would take up too much space on my desk. Perhaps an A6x size device might double as a travelers notebook. But I'm picturing a cover with lots of pockets to stuff things into (tickets, receipts, etc) . My challenge is that I carry a cellphone with me that's too large to fit in my pocket. So carrying anything else in my hand is just "extra."

    This is really neat Brandon, I just bought an Ipad pro M4, and now I want this too... I loved the design of remarkable 2, supernote nomad seems too small and thick. This seems like a step forward for Boox, because until now I didnt really care for their devices. On the other hand, its clearly a rip off, but I dig it. I wonder if its faster overall, because remarkable seems slow.

I've been on quite the journey w/tablets. Hate Apple pen. Loved my Paperwhite, grabbed a Scribe but returned it- too limited. Rejected reMarkable for the same reason. Bought and returned the NA3C - didn't like the colour or the clunky UI (as of late 2023). Bought another Scribe while waiting. Recently bought the Kobo Libra Colour - great 7" colour reader, OK for scribbles & annotation, but not a paper substitute.

    They're still way too expensive for what you use them for. I don't care about how thin it is, I want capacity, flexibility, reliability, security, performance, longevity, and a cheaper price tag; if that means it will be an inch thick, so be it. No need for WiFi, no need for Bluetooth; they're both security hazards that requires more code. Don't want Android or any fork of Android, just make a Linux OS from scratch with no bloat. Don't want distractions and complexity, that's why ePaper exist to begin with, just add a USB-C slot, a normal USB slot, and perhaps an extra memory slot; the rest we can do ourselves by dragging and dropping files. Starting to get sick on waiting for an useful device without the fancy bloat. I want something that can be used in everyday life and not having to rely on proprietary bloat that locks you down and subscription services that wants your money.
