Hi! I want to buy the remarkable for my wife. She takes a lot of notes (handwritten) and then need to put these into an online secured platform (she’s a psychologist). She’s already an Apple user (laptop and phone) and thinks it would be an easier process to go with the Ipad.

I’ve only heard great things about Remarkable, but she does have a point: she’s already (locked) with Apple products. It’s a plug and play environment. The marketing stuff from Remarkable seems to focus on the lack of distractions (ok… ). That’s not convincing her. I think the “paper feel” and handwritten-to-text are the best-known selling points, but it’s hard to understand if you can’t try one in a store.

What am I missing? Should she really go with Apple (again)?

Thanks!

I work in mental health as well and have ALL things Apple. IMHO, for me, the single most important discriminator has been the writing experience on the screen on RM2. Sheer joy. My iPad is now redundant I use my MacBook and iMac for all things computer and RM2 for think, write, note, franklin planner etc. tried to go back to iPad just to see if that ‘one device fits most’ use-case. My need to write things down to process has we all and truly established RM2 as the device for that purpose. I do not use the sync function and use the usb c transfer for documents. Clunky but fits my use-case fine. BTW I have spent enough on the boox devices as well RM2 has won me over.
