Electronic paper tablet terminal "reMarkable 2" brings the best memo experience, but there are many imperfections: product review

You've probably seen business people who look like corporate executives at an airport. At the airport, there are people queuing for juice stands and people wearing bachelor party hats and taking selfies. However, these executive-like business people are usually sitting in front of the designated gate.

These hard-working people are banging furiously on their laptop keyboards and chatting in expensive noise-cancelling headphones. Carry a bag that matches the atmosphere of the person, and the shoes are shiny and not a single scratch. I'm sure you'll spend a lot of money and get in first class. Using the tablet terminal "reMarkable 2" makes me feel like I'm joining the ranks of such people.

The product that many people think of when they hear the word “tablet device” is probably a device like the “iPad Pro” that contains apps and games. However, reMarkable 2 is not a device that replaces a PC like the iPad Pro. In the first place, I can't even surf the net.

Its sole purpose is to replace paper notepads. With the reMarkable 2's display, E Ink electronic paper, you can leave handwritten notes, edit PDF files, write down ideas, and read e-books and articles. For better or worse, that's all there is to a tablet device.

Thin and light digital notebook

Personally, ever since I was born, I have been taking notes exclusively with pen and paper. She's always putting something down on paper: article structure, title ideas, to-do lists, meeting minutes. However, existing digital notebooks did not work well. I've tried various devices, but none of them have been convincing.

When I visited the bulletin board site "Reddit" to find out about the original "reMarkable", I found many praises. From university students to lawyers, artists, architects, and fellow writers, they were chanting about the innovation of this E Ink tablet device.

When I received reMarkable 2 for review, I realized those contributors were right. The display feels and looks like paper. It even makes a paper-like sound when you write on it.

The writing experience is seamless and even makes writing fun. Just scribble with the dedicated stylus pen and digitize your ideas without worrying about running out of paper or ink. You don't have to scribble on paper because your pen doesn't draw enough ink.

Also, this tablet is slim. The thickness is only 4.7mm, which is more than 1mm thinner than the iPad Pro. It also weighs 403g and under a pound (454g), and has a nice paper-like 10.3-inch display.
