The reMarkable 2 is a gorgeous e-paper tablet begging for better software

Like the original before it, this is a pricey tablet with an e-paper display that does a fraction of what other tablets can do for the same $400 or so. It's more reasonably priced than the first model, and to get the most out of it, you basically have...

Put another way, the reMarkable 2 manages to get a lot right, even if the most meaningful differences right now are cosmetic. And to someone like me who’s been trying to jump-start a long lost passion for writing by hand, the experience is largely...

The reMarkable 2 is the latest attempt to turn your paper notepad digital

The pen, as the saying goes, is mightier than the sword. And modern computers, apparently: despite the leaps and bounds of technology, with tablet styluses and Wacom digitizers, ordinary pen and paper has survived to this day. But the $399 reMarkable 2...

Enjoyable writing experience Excellent display Extremely thin

Expensive Limited capabilities No backlight

As a piece of hardware, the reMarkable 2 is a fantastic improvement over the original. The improvements to the pen and overall writing experience combined with the already excellent E Ink panel make writing with the reMarkable 2 the best digital...

ReMarkable 2 tablet review: Paper and pen experience

The reMarkable 2 tablet is unique: it offers a paper-like feel for writing and drawing and aims to give users the charm and utility of paper writing, scribbling and doodling that are hard to come by on regular tablets. It also succeeds gloriously in...

reMarkable 2 Tablet Review

The reMarkable 2 tablet is designed for collecting and organizing thoughts without distractions.

Large, light and solidly built ; Offers a superior digital note-taking experience ; Allows for e-book and PDF annotations

No front lighting ; Limited file compatibility ; Slow cloud service sync speed

However, for the majority of the time I tested these two devices, the amount of input latency I could detect while writing was so minute that I don’t believe the average user would notice it. There are exceptions to this, as I have experienced long...

Six minimal devices designed to take the stress out of tech

A couple of days into using the reMarkable 2 tablet and you'll find your handwriting has substantially improved. Dubbed a ‘paper tablet', the 2 is an ultra-slim e-ink tablet that provides a consistently excellent surface to write on. There are those of...

Paired with the company’s Marker or Marker Plus (both sold separately), the tablet gives just the right amount of resistance to imitate the feel of paper.

REMARKABLE 2 REVIEW: THE WRITING TABLET THAT EVERY PRODUCER NEEDS IN THEIR STUDIO

The reMarkable 2 is the best tablet for writing, offering a natural feel that is much closer to using a pencil or pen on paper which is perfect for jotting down notes when you're producing music. I find it much more fun and natural to write on the...

But this table removes all of that risk and lets your brain continue to wander in its flow state no matter what you're writing or doing in your studio. It's the best note-taking device you can add to your studio and can easily be one of the better...
