reMarkablePaper Pro Bundle – Premium Leather | Includes 11.8” reMarkable Paper Tablet, Marker Plus Pen with Eraser, and a Book Folio Cover in Black Leather

The media could not be loaded. Originally I got the reMarkable Paper Pro to take quick notes during calls and reduce the amount of sticky notes I have spread around my desk. At first it helped me become more organized and have a clean desk, but then I found more uses for it. I brought the Paper Pro to a work conference and expo recently. reMarkable made notes significantly easier when on my feet networking at events and while walking along the trade show halls talking to customers at different booths. Overall I fully recommend using the Paper Pro. It was super easy to send notes to my work computer and even convert them into text for a quick copy + paste into meeting reports. The pen is pretty cool too. I’ve used a Microsoft surface in the past and hated using the pen to take hand written notes. It felt weird and when my hand rested on the tablet, it would throw the notes off. With the Paper Pro, it actually feels like writing on paper, which was a real nice change up compared to the tablets I’ve used previously. Being able to use different colors and the highlighter was an added bonus. All in all, the Paper Pro is an excellent tool with the perfect blend of technology and simplicity.

First of all, this is NOT a tablet that you might be used to. It has no browser, no apps. It is a dedicated device to facilitate a unique style of writing into paper, but wait, it is not paper, it is e-paper, but it feels like paper.It is a color device and this technology has some limitations when compared to a black and white eNotebook: It has to refresh more often and it is a bit darker when there is no backlight. But it has colors, and this is a capability that is not present in a black and white device, by definition. The constant refresh will stay there forever, and one gets use to it, but Remarkable responded to the users and released a new beta firmware that enhances the backlite, enough for me to decide to keep this device. I was concerned with the lack of brightness, but this new firmware really solved it, to the point I do not use it on the maximum setting anymore. All in all, my first eNotebook is a Remarkable Paper Pro, and I am very happy with my choice. I considered the Remarkable 2, as well as other brands such as SuperNote and Boox. The color, look and feel, and the entire writing experience steered me towards the Remarkable Paper Pro.

The ReMarkable is a superb product for what I need it for, a simple, digital pad. Easy to edit, easy to use and reliable. It's not fast. It's not fancy. And (thankfully) it's not connected to the internet. For me, the biggest win is that I can focus when I'm using the reMarkable because I can "quickly" jump on a browser or get a Instagram update, which takes me away from my focus time.It's been a great tool for me and my workflow.

UPDATE:I have returned the item 8 DAYS ago, the item was received at return center the very next day. However, my refund has yet to be issued, just still stuck under “item received” status. The refund issue date that was originally for tomorrow was changed to end of NEXT WEEK, which would put me ant almost THREE WEEKS since I physically returned the item. Not to mention the time it’ll take to actually credit back to my card. Absolutely absurd. Seriously, avoid at all costs.Original:I wanted to love this. I was so excited for it. I’m a student and after a lot of research I felt this would be the best tablet to keep me organized but needed it quickly. I received the item in a timely manner, but it has been a disaster. Immediately upon opening the product, it looked and felt amazing, high quality, well built. However, when I turned it on, it took FOREVER to load/turn on. Then, when it finally turned on, it wasn’t recognizing the marker that came with it for set up. Weird, but will skip that part for now. Then it got to the part of connecting to wifi but it didn’t recognize a single network. Again, weird, but I’ll move on and come back to it. I created a passcode. Then it displayed a “corrupted disk” display and that is all it has done since. I have tried clicking the repair button that is provided on the same screen, multiple times, no luck. I tried manually turning it on and off. I tried letting it charge fully, and I even went to the website and followed the steps of a software restore, still didn’t work even though it got to the last step. Finally, I contacted the manufacturer and they took almost an entire day to respond to each email, which is also a different person each time. They explained they would send a “replacement” in exchange but advised me to strictly avoid sending in anything aside from the tablet (no folio, marker, tips etc) because they will only send a replacement for the affected part (the tablet). Which would be fine, except this likely means I’d be receiving a refurbished tablet, not new and I did not pay almost $700 for refurbished. I even tried to work with Amazon instead for replacement but they said it would have to be through manufacturer. I’m sure the product in theory would’ve been great, but it has failed to meet my expectations despite my best efforts in trying to get it to work and even trying to get a replacement despite the poor first impression. Ill be returning and looking into something different, because spending HUNDREDS of dollars and having to experience a defective product on top of disorganized customer service is crazy.

Just got it and so far so good but be aware that unlike prior reMarkables the pen is proprietary and as yet no apparent cheaper alternative. As is, an additional or replacement pen is a whopping $129 and an additional pen is necessary as the pad is useless if you are traveling, lose it, and don' have a replacement. The pad itself is pricey and add to it replacement pen(s) and reverting to paper and/or other modalities becomes a competing value proposition even for the technophilic. I strongly recommend that reMarkable include 2 pens with each pad.

This is my third ReMarkable. The ReMarkable 1 had some issues, but it was the only game in town. The ReMarkable 2 and the Connect System still came out on top once the software team got its act together. Today, there are other e-ink tablets, and each one has good points. I am a freelance copywriter and for me the ReMarkable Paper Pro fits my workflow best, and I look forward to coming improvements in the software and the system. I have added the newest Type Folio, and that makes it a perfect partner with my Windows and iPad laptops. Portable, reliable, flexible and useful at every step of my process, from ideation to client meetings to drafting and presentation.
