Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had the RMP2 and thought this woukd be a great upgrade after selling that one. Well I open and turned on and immediately noticed a dead line of pixel going 1/4 the way down the middle of the device. $750 and no quality control? Makes me second guess them. Thats a lot to spend. But mistakes happen. Ill be returning for a scribe or go back to the RMP2 idk.

The system's ease of use and lack of distractions are advantageous, comparable to a tablet; however, the mandatory membership fee and incompatibility with Kindle books are significant drawbacks.

amazing GoodNotes app. The good for the reMarkable is that I love the distraction-free environment. I also think the writing experience is very good. The feel is excellent and the functionality is just what you need. Build feels very solid and high quality. My issues are: 1) Very slow response to touch sometimes (taps and gestures). Sometimes it takes several tries. 2) A LOT of ghosting, where you can see the previous image even when you open a new notebook. 3) The backlight is VERY weak. I can hardly see any light until I get to levels 4 and 5 on the light scale. 4) Overall a very laggy experience. Minimal latency when writing, but they should have used a faster processor for everything else. 5) Hard to justify the price when you can get an iPad for about the same price and just buy a writing screen protector. Feels/functions like a $250 device. 6) A little too big to take everywhere. Over a pound in weight. Need a smaller pro version that fits in a coat pocket. 7) Sometime a little glitchy. When I wake it from sleep, it will sometimes repeatedly go back to sleep while I am writing. Resolves after a few tries, but a nuisance. Overall, I do like the unit. But I feel a little ripped off by the price so not sure if I will keep it. Great concept, but screen light, screen responsiveness to touch, and overall processor need some work.

If you don’t already own a ReMarkable device, I think you’ll love this one! The size fits comfortably while walking around using it (I bring it to the court room every day), and even more comfortable on a desk. In my experience, no other device gets closer to the feel of writing on paper. If you already have a ReMarkable 2, DON’T buy this one. The price difference makes absolutely no sense. The lag is the same (and I’m not complaining about the lag, I’m just letting you know it doesn’t improve even with the massive price difference). The natural paper feel isn’t any better or worse, though it does feel different. The pen tip is definitely made of a harder material and sounds like you’re tapping on glass each time the pen makes contact with the screen, so it’s noticeably louder to write on than the ReMarkable 2. The new size is almost exactly the same size as a standard sheet of printer paper (8.5” x 11”), which makes reading and writing on PDFs much easier for my workflow. Overall, if I could go back in time and not spend the extra money for this small upgrade, I would.

The Paper Pro has a good writing feel and is much better than my old spiral ring notebooks. The Paper Pro has decent battery life for me … 2-3 days use before charging required. The Paper Pro has significant ghosting when changing documents which is annoying. I’ve got to close the tablet and re-log in to clear the ghosting. Friends who have other coworkers that have other remarkable products don’t see this level of ghosting. If I knew now when making purchase decision I would have purchased a different product.

It's a good product. It does everything it says it does exactly the way it says it does it. I struggle with the value proposition. At nearly $800, it's in league with real tablets that can do real work. Unless you're really looking to have a distraction free note taking experience, you can probably do better.

The only thing I liked about it was the stylus. Writing with it felt really good, and the eraser on the other side was a great idea. Other than that, the performance wasn’t good. * It’s too slow when working with files over 100 pages. Navigating between pages takes a long time. * The screen was too sensitive to my hand movements while writing. It would move up, down, or switch pages most of the time. * When writing on a colored PDF page, the screen flashes frequently, even with black ink. * I didn’t use layers, so I’m not sure if there would be any issues with that.

Coming from the prior black and white remarkable generation still for sale, im hard pressed to see this as a valuable updgrade. From a pros standpoint, this device is much faster and the extra screen size makes it more comfortable. From a cons, the software is very buggy requiring multiple restarts every week and the way the color refreshes the screen to display is slow and jarring. I fully recommend the Remarkable 2, this one may need another generation to be worthwhile.

It's a shame I have to go so hard on this review, because I love remarkable, and I LOVED my remarkable 2. The Paper Pro has a lot going for it. The bigger screen, nice craftsmanship, and, the big one, the color screen, were all the reasons I was excited. B however, it falls short it's really upsetting ways: 1. The marker was totally redesigned, making the user reliant on a battery-operated marker. 2. The marker tip is a lot slicker on the display, which makes it more difficult for me to control my strokes. Hate it. 3. Can't use the $150 marker you bought for your remarkable 2. Dumb and feels like a cash grab. 4. The screen colors feel a bit pixelated, which is an adjustment, but not a big deal. 5. The backlight, which is a flagship feature of this new device, is virtually useless except on it's two brightest settings. 6. It does not tolerate standard adaptive chargers--at least mine doesn't. So, plugged into my phone charger, I see the battery draining still. 7. The text seems more pixelated than the remarkable 2 when viewing side-by-side, despite the higher resolution in the specs. 8. Finally, with an okay cover and a new marker (to replace my newly useless one), the three-piece bundle sets you back over $800 after taxes. For all it's flaws, the tablet certainly showcases some neat innovations in e-ink tech, and I hope they continue to improve on it. Frankly, I will still use it, because I like the technology and the ethos being the brand, but the marker is trash, and I hate how it feels. I want the old one back.

The case, size, marker is excellent. Surprisingly the handwriting experience was perfect. Much better than I expected. Within the return period, dead pixels.

I struggle with this rating. I love the paper feel I love the potential in this product, but it lags and there’s so much that it can’t do even though there’s so much that it can do. I think it is a great beginners product, but cost way too much. For the price just get an iPad.

Works as it should but it did not translate writing very well.Probably great for someone else, I’m just not the right person for it.

The color display and writing experience are great. However, the refresh rate and touch screen are hard to deal with, even slower than the previous model...

It no longer feels like I'm writing on paper. Very unfortunate. Honestly, the writing experience sucks. I first purchased the Remarkable 2 and apart from not having a color display or back light and not being as large, it was far superior. I really miss my rM2 now.
