reMarkable 2

I ordered six reMarkable 2 tablets between 2022 and 2024 for our company as an IT admin. While they definitely have their upsides compared to an iPad, the following experiences were dealbreakers for us: 3 out of 6 devices had to be sent in for RMA, and the RMA process was honestly pretty bad. We’re

rM2 has better hardware and hardware feel and is bigger, and feels more premium. The Nomad has a much much better software experience than the rM2. I personally switched from rM2, after 6 years, to Nomad and I'm loving the nomad, even the writing feels better. I don't think the subscription nor the

reMarkable 2 is incredibly over-priced now at MSRP. It’s 6 year old hardware with a 13 year old panel. I expect they’ll reach end of sale this year. They can be found for around half that on the secondhand market. No one knows anything about the rumored new device other than what that single tweet c

The rM2 is not very repairable. I suppose give it some time to fully dry out, then try holding the power button for 15 seconds, releasing, then holding for 3 to see if it powers on. reMarkable will do an out-of-warranty swap on the rM2 for around $160.

The reMarkable guys seem to be driven first and foremost by revenue concerns. I believe their biggest competitor is the Amazon Kindle - though more focused on reading, there's probably a big overlap with the market segment for the reMarkable tablets. rM2 is getting old and needs an update. The rM te

The display, processor, storage, battery life, and (maybe) battery replaceability are all improvements. The stylus, design, and lack of type folio support are (at least arguably) downgrades. It looks like the positioning is an entry-level budget device, rather than a premium device (which is how the

Agreed, it seems like a lateral move from the 2 and that's disappointing. The rM2 is getting pretty slow for me, so I was ready to upgrade to another B&W reMarkable, but the lack of a sharper display and a downgrade in size and industrial design means I'll probably stand pat

limitations for less distractions I honestly think reMarkable themselves don't understand this mantra well. For example, there is no way to know the time on the remarkable, and while this is more "featureless" it's absolutely not distraction free, because when I need to know the time, I have to stop

Battery is definitely not an issue for me too since it NEVER went below 5 blocks even after hours of continuous writing. But the writing accuracy got to a point where it would interrupt my studying. I take a lot of aesthetically pleasing notes, and as a person with objectively neat handwriting, it f

Then it depends on the few aspects rM2 is too old to suggest these days imo, and if you really need that kind of device/ecosystem, then it would be helpful to wait a bit for the supposed reMarkable Paper Pure announcement, which might be within a month or 2 As for the Pro Move, get it if colour is a
