I tried using a 12.9” iPad Pro for work but didn’t like the writing experience or how I was forever wiping smudges from the screen, and fatigued my eyes would be at the end of the day from always looking at an LCD screen. A part of me also disliked carrying it around the office into meetings, I kind of felt like a douchebag. Part of this is likely because I was the only person in the office using a digital note taking tool.

I got the reMarkable on a whim to see if it would help and I really enjoy it. The writing experience is quite nice, the screen is matt so whilst it can be a little reflective under certain lights it doesn’t smudge too easily, the eink screen is nice to look at all day, and I don’t feel like a douchebag using it in the office or bringing it to meetings.

At the end of the day the only thing the remarkable beats the iPad at is the actual note taking experience and the screen is a big part of that. Personal opinion, but I think the remarkable feels more professional than taking notes on an iPad.

Happy to answer any questions you have.

The software writes in colour, and the hardware produces it as greyscale.

It wouldn’t be any harder than adding in the red and blue options some pens already have.

Just email support and see what they say.

I paid $930AUD for the Type Folio bundle with a referral discount.

I’ve emailed them to see if they would be happy to give me the $140AUD discount they’re offering on the Black Friday bundle given I only received mine 3 days ago. If they say no, I’ll just return it under the 100 day satisfaction guarantee and order the cheaper bundle 🤷‍♂️

Thanks heaps for replying :)

 

Hi all,

Ordered a remarkable online that arrived today.

When I played with the device in a store over the weekend, and seeing others posts, I noticed that the pen selector (ie. ball point, fineliner, etc) and the stroke thickness are two seperate options. However, on mine, it’s all combined.

Couldn’t find an option in settings to seperate them, so if anyone knows how I would appreciate it.

Bonus question: I’m looking for a good meeting notes template, can someone recommend one they use? And, how do you load templates onto the tablet? Do I just add it as a pdf?

Thanks everyone!
