    If I would be the owner of the company reMarkable, I would have saved all my money to pay creators like you. Because this is the masterpiece of advertisements of all. This sells!

    I have watched so many reviews of tech you tubers, saying it doesnt do enough. as a person who loves to write and has accumulated too many notebooks i want to be able to have all of it with me on the go. i never get around to transferring my scribbles to another device. i love how your video romanticizes the remarkable for the fellow writers.

      Thanks! For me, I’d like it to not do enough, makes us write more. It’s a niche product but I think it’s our product. The device is perfect enough for our use case.

      I agree, mostly... But I would like to be able to automatically sync my Remarkable 2 notes on Google Drive, so I can access them easily. I've watched a few reviews, and am still unsure if this is possible... Seems like, on older software, it was a NO - aside from the email function...It seems like you can do it now, though not 100% sure, since I don't see this function covered much in reviews.
      Either way, I just ordered one (Remarkable has an excellent satisfaction money-back guarantee). So going to give it a shot. Wish me luck.

    One of the best reviews of the RM2. Period. Remarkable should post such “real” stories in their “user stories” marketing campaigns, instead of using some content creator who will create content on any product if they are paid to do so…
    All the best for your book that you will write using your RM2!

    • @Lucas_Alpay
      @Lucas_Alpay  Před 6 měsíci +2

      @@Lucas_Alpay ​I got mine today and here are my first impressions:
      - Very good built quality overall - the keyboard, key travel, the three different movements, and the inner lining.
      - But I hate the quality of the outer “fake leather” used. I chose the brown color as I wanted some contrast to the black RM2. The fake leather is very rough to touch, and the sharp borders only make it even more unpleasant to touch and handle. I hope it softens a little bit, in the following weeks.
      - Weight: yes it adds considerable weight to the RM2. The moment I took the Folio out of its package, I could feel the heft. So it’s definitely not going to be my primary case to carry, while I travel, except if I am sure that I will need to do some typing on it. For travel, I will prefer the RM classic Book folio I have had for two years.
      - Software: I knew that it has limited formatting capabilities and cannot replace a word processor. But I see it as a modern typewriter. And having seen the great work RM has done the last 2 years (since I purchased my RM2) on the software update cycles, I am positive that they will introduce many formatting capabilities for the Type folio, in the following months.
      At the moment, I am 50-50, as far as keeping it or returning it eventually. Will test it extensively in the following weeks.

    Thank you sir. This was such a unique and incredible presentation. The first of it's kind, or at least the first I have seen. I was able to better focus on the detailed description of this device as the relaxing music played in the background, and the narrator's voice completed the ambiance that really delivered! I have always loved e-readers and writing tablets (I currently own a Kindle Scribe), and this video has certainly peaked my interest in the reMarkable 2. Thank you again!

    Hey Lucas man, this was really cool to watch! I've reviewed the reMarkable and the type folio so this randomly showed up on my feed. Very glad it did, I actually did a livestream 2 days ago on Kitt Betts-Masters YT channel and i talked about the modern nostalgia it evokes, from a videography perspective I think you really captured it quite well here! Instant sub, great work dude 👏

I concur that it is the perfect distraction free ‘story-tellers’ dream. The type-folio accessory has replaced all of my previous distraction free devices like the FreeWrite and AlphaSmart.

    • @Lucas_Alpay
      @Lucas_Alpay  Před 22 dny

      Well, it means I don’t need to re-type (to the computer) what I’ve already written using the tablet. Sometimes when I write with pen and paper, which is great from time to time, it’s a hassle to re-type everything to a word processor.

  • @fcf8269
    @fcf8269 Před 2 měsíci

    I came here for a review and ended up watching a documentary about this device. 10 for the novelty of how this video is shot but in terms of usefulness I am afraid it is a 4 out of 10. I own all the eink tablets on the market and I really got no info from this video to be honest, that could not be read on the main page of the device maker. It is a commercial more than anything, so again, awesome production value here but in terms of usefulness and info, this is only catering to people that never seen a eink device.

    • @Lucas_Alpay
      @Lucas_Alpay  Před 2 měsíci

      Hey hey, still, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I know that the remarkable is an old device, people more capable than me have made reviews of the device and they showed every minutiae of its capability because this thing, like I said, has been around for a while. And you’re right, it’s an introduction to an e-ink tablet that has the capacity to accept a pen input for people that never seen nor experienced one. 👍

    I have a similar device thats a lot cheaper and doesn't have a spellchecker and only costs around six to seven pounds; it called a Notebook and pencil.
