I really appreciate this format.

The pricing for this is absolutely ridiculous.

When is Linus going to do a face reveal?

for 500 bucks you could buy fifty thousand sheets of paper - and probably have a scanner already if you want to digitize your notes. So if you wrote 10 pages of notes a day 5 days a week it would take 20 years to pay for this

Seems to be hugely overpriced for what it is compared to other products which can achieve the same thing and more.

You're supposed to clearly state when your content is sponsored

Their ship times are not “remarkable “ 2 weeks and waiting

The wokeness in this product is puke-ind6cing. Gross.

$450 for a tablet with eink? Lol I just bought the 2020 iPad 8 with the Apple Pencil I paid less than $450...for what it does this thing should be no more than $200 tbh

this thing is a rip off especially when you can just get a surface go 2 or a new cpu or even a fricking nintendo switch lmao (OR EVEN OTHER THINGS) even then, things like surface and such are a joke. theres still not much to beat it and i dont think things like rasberry pis are getting anywhere significantly worth still.

lol".l

Hugely overpriced. You can get a second hand surface pro 3 for less than $400 with a pencil included

honestly just get an iPad, in 9/10 cases I'm sure you're better off!

has anyone ever heard of a notebook?

I think anyone trying to compare this to an iPad is missing the point - this device is all about the screen. And that's why it's expensive, because these screens are produced on such a small scale. Go grab the cheapest e-ink kobo/kindle and compare for yourself.

Looks like something that would be great for a college student, except for the price.

Good to see I'm not the only left handed person who wears their watch on their dominant hand wrist.

Its so F expensive... WTF, there costumer base must be smug a-holes!

Everybody gangsta till we get Arch Linux installed on this!

Clickbait title ... Freaking cringe. Disliked.

They could likely sell more if they lowered the prices and sold more.

Should have shown the shading with something other than the mechanical pencil tool; I don't think it even uses the tilt sensor. The regular pencil has much better shading.

I love ereaders but most of them have too small of a screen. I like to view a book in its original formatting so resorted to buying a Galaxy Tab s6 instead.

You can use other EMR styluses with this if you prefer a different feel or tip, as it's a wacom digitizer.

10:55 You're so left-handed! It appears that ReMarkable design team, at least for folios was 100% right-handed #diversity

Very cool but too rich for my blood. Maybe in a few years the first version will drop to a reasonable price

Just buy normal pin and paper

Nice

This is fun

Too expensive and that's the only problem with this. For the same price people will likely go for a tablet instead

Yeah I'd much rather get a surface go for $450...it's a way better product for drawing and productivity seeing as how it can actually run windows...

$400 i could buy an iPad Pro second hand lmao

Where tf did they put the battery, it’s so thin

IMO don't think this should be used for education below college or below post-high school grad education for the price.

or you could get a bamboo stylus pen and use it with any touchscreen surface

can I use it on OSU?

I'd love to have this for school and engineering stuff, but I could literally get a tablet that does more and works better for less money.

This is not at all related to the video. Do you realize that you look like Yul Brynner when he had hair? Check out the movie "Soloman and Sheba." It popped up on my screen on YT and I was like my God, the dude on Linus' staff is really Yul Brynner.

So fun finding things that work well for us lefties

Really like your videos!

James, that was a terrible segway to your sponsor. Lovely presentation though

Hmmmm, I hate to bring this up.... But did he disclose this video being sponsored? This is the most blatant fake review ever. 🙄 Just a Remarkable 2 ad....

Remarketable

I don't enjoy that it's more expensive than the last gen.

It is pretty cool, but those accessories prices are quite honestly disgusting. Will avoid buying it for that reason alone. I am not going to just willingly allow myself to be robbed.

Way to expensive when you consider how niche the product is. The accessories are just out right price gouging, specifically the cases.

what a fucking idiot. the pen sticks to the upper side in an extremely obvious way because of the way the magnet strength feels

My first thought was this would be super useful then I remember basically every newer iPad was apple pencil support and for 400$ that is a better than base spec of most ipads

They are outta their damn minds with that price

450$ is way too much, for 500$ you get a surface go 2 with a pen, the pen is really good and its a windows tablet, add 70$ more for the keyboard and you got a laptop that can do what this thing can do and so much more.

What`s the connector on the bottom left for? (or is it even a connector?)

I could buy nearly 1000 25 cent notebooks for that

Quiet dude I'm trying to listen to linus in the background

I'm getting it just to look cool on my meetings

11:10 most people isn't left-handed

Interesting idea but way too expensive. Have a tablet that is more powerful and was cheaper.

this should be 150 max, with the basic pen at 20

Way, waaaaaaay over priced!

It looks like you're using the mecahnical pencil instead of the pen or marker. If you want all the shades, use marker or pen.

$400 for a journal lol

For my money I think the rocketbook is a much more economical (if less elegant) solution.

If you're strapped for cash, get a notebook and pens for $2 max

Looks really great and could imagine to use it, but the price is a big turn off. Way too expensive and in the price range for full fledged tablets. And the accessories seem also too expensive.

Not worth it!!! Who needs this, that couldn't use rocketbook or a boogie board?

I feel like the goal of this product is to get Apple to buy them out; owner's cash in and Apple integrates some of it's features.

Omg the skin on the scale

@10:57, he was putting the pen on the wrong part of the rM2... it has a much stronger hold than portrayed in the video... great video overall.

wait so james is left handed?

linus video with linus advert

Ill buy it from you.

You need to be connected to the internet for handwriting? Palm PDAs did the exact same thing (albiet iffy) 2 decades ago *without* Internet.

these things are garbage...

There is still such a vast gap between the $399.30 difference in need between these and a $0.70 paper notebook. Still TOTALLY want it though, and these devices used to be close to $1,000 easy. Great progress.

that ipad is looking kinda good now'

remarkably useless, in my opinion.

Anyone got a less-overpriced alternative?

I'm really conflicted because I really like the concept of the remarkable. I like to write my notes in order to retain the information I learn in uni and to study. However, I don't like how paper seems so wasteful. It also ends up wracking up a lot of storage, where I have piles upon piles of sheet notes which discourages me from actually going back to look for certain notes to revise. I'm really interested in the straighforwardness and simpleness of this remarkable tablet because I can store all my notes easier and in one place, I like that feels like writing on paper and theres not much of a lag and it's more accurate than writing on a tablet or iPad. People argue that the lack of other functions like apps etc. Is a downfall but I think it may good for me as I'll use it for what I intended which is note-taking rather than watching movies etc. I'm really conflicted because it's basically coming to the same price as an iPad and idk if I can bring myself to pay €400-500+ for this along with all the accessories. Could I get some advice?

It's a niche product for sure. Seems like it'd be a good fit for someone who doesn't write too much or too little, who's workflow is focused in the moment, links or exports all documents to a cloud service. As a primary device on it's own you'd be better served with either Samsung's newer tablets (s tab 7+) using the most recent S pen + hi refresh display, or an iPad/iPad pro + apple pencil. Mostly because after you've accumulated +300 documents, finding them would still be faster and easier than reMARKABLE's execution and the newest digital pencils that Apple/Samsung use are almost instantaneous/no lag noticeable. It'd come down to what device ecosystems you're already apart of, If you use an existing Mac based laptop/desktop, go iPad pro+pencil, whereas if you use a windows 10 based laptop/desktop, go with an S tab 7+. One thing of note however if you go with the iPad pro + Apple pencil, I'd recommend a good glass screen protector - imo the plastic-like tip of the Apple pencil feels substantially smoother and less draggy? on a good glass screen protector Happy new year 🙂

There's no click bait here today! This is REMARKABLE!!!

Calculus is fun huh... Wait until you meet PDEs that makes you shit on your pants lol

man I love marking my pdfs and I do them on pc and its annoying with no touch capabilities, and I scan my papers I never leave anything unscanned cause I hate papers and I hate having millions of papers, this would be amazing but it's not available in my country 😂

So an iPad - the iPad?

how does it compare to an ipad with apple pencil?

it basically costs the same as an ipad air. If they sold it for like 250$ then it would absolutely worth it, but like this? idk

Soooooo... Can I use this to enter data into form fillable pdf files?

I wanted to know more about the palm rejection. I have found with other tablets that it's the pen itself that provides that feature.

Paying hundreds of dollars to achieve a crud simulation of the thing that you were always able to do for like... $10 tops. Technological progress is amazing, isn't it?

Is this for students? They do know that students tend to be broke, right?

Oh, +$50 for having a stylus with an eraser? cool...

The tilt is not working because you have the mechanical pencil chosen. It will work with other writing utensil options like the pencil or the ink pen!

simply remarkable.

One good selling point for these is that they work outdoors in direct sunlight, without glare or dimming of the screen.

Should an iPad air 2020 make more sense ? The remarkable 2 + marker + cover becomes that much.

I can see this being for the same type of people who would buy a simple Kindle for eBooks over a regular tablet. Sometimes you just want something that does one thing well without the extra distractions common in devices today.

Just got a HP Elite X2 Core i5 Gen 7 Windows tablet for 490 with stylus and folio keyboard and thunderbolt. But its a nice toy

Hello

I had a pre-order on this one for about 6 months, but canceled it as soon as I saw the first review units. Too me personally, the price isn't a problem, I went with an iPad instead. The problem I have with this product is that I would pay a decent premium since it's niche market, but only get Beta-software. I was hopping to see a big differens in the software compared to the first model, but they are about 98% the same. I would rather pay for software-upgrades on the Remarkable one, then getting the same experience in a slicker looking hardware for a higher price.

$150 for a leather case?

2020, 500$ and still no colored E-Ink. Lame!!!

Is that Linus being a fool yelling in the background? 4:40

You haven't reviewed this product well. From other reviewers I can see that the device doesn't have a colour option and touch screen through each page is not the best smooth. Please use the device throughly and just do not post the review for the sake of posting. We trust you and we expect you to check everything and give us and unbiased opionon. Thank you
