If Remarkable hired you as an in house consultant they would make a TRULY remarkable product that would sell like crazy! There needs to be a "My Deep Guide" certification on things. Thank you for all your work
I just bought one for notes. I bought it specifically for note taking and for its lack of distraction. I don't need bells and whistles, I just need to think and to quickly record those thoughts (and to evolve from the endless buying of paper and the mass destruction of trees). My first joy was to receive this device. My next joy was discovering this channel. Clear, informative and knowledgeable. Watching this video, I really feel as though I am having a coffee and listening to a friend. Great work.
This is THE best review of a product I have ever found, in magazines, web or CZcams - ever - during the last 50 years. Good scientific and pragmatic work. Hard work.
Thank you VERY much for your kind words :)
he didn't touch the pen to show how it works
Organized, thorough, in-depth, understandable, the quality and quantity of information exceeded all expectations.
@@andrearandel1999 someone paid you for this comment? This guy is not objective at all. He is happy to have this product like a child. I appreciate the quality of it, however it should be also said that there are some imperfections of this tablet. For example there is no backlight, the price of the the pen (100 euro!) etc.
@@labibbiace If objectivity is your concern then you should review more carefully before posting: he talked several times about the lack of backlight (in this video and in the others) and in spite of the fact that he obviously loves the device, I counted more negative than positive points in his technical review... and that is the very definition of objectivity: I won't buy thanks to him. Oh and nobody paid me to write this! Have a look at how CZcamsrs are being paid and you will understand that this would not be a viable strategy.
Personally I loved the review, this is exactly what I needed: so many interesting tests that I could not find anywhere else. Thank you so much for this huge amount of work you went through for us. I really liked and I subscribed.
Sir, with due respect to you, I have never ever seen such a sharp and honest observer in my life. Your reviews are honest and straight. I salute your honesty.
Advertised 100,000 pages of notes, yet only 7,500 pages in ACTUAL USE! That's a remarkablely big, big BAD difference! Glad somebody was smart enough to catch that!
Is this still true?!?
Thank you for all the effort and honesty. Watched all 5 parts of your rM2 reviews. I have also watched a lot of other reviews about remarkable 2, but yours is another level! Most important thing what is different - you tell us all, not hiding anything - bringing up also negative stuff. Almost all others will slipping fast forward about negative things and problems what rM2 has. Even not mentioning those. Thank you!
This has to be one of the best product reviews on all of CZcams (and probably the Web as a whole).
I ordered my remarkable 2 and I can't wait for it to come in. I loved your first video and now I'm watching the rest to really get to know my device before it gets here. Thank you for the absolute best tech review I have ever seen. I love how you are thorough but very relatable. You don't go over the top so the general public don't understand what you are commenting on. Now we wait for mine. Thank you again. All the best to you and yours!
This was a terrific review. I'd like to add - because I am sure so many people will watch this series - I've had my ReMarkable 2 for over a month now - limitations and all - and I have to say - it has become indispensable in my life now that I understand how to use it. I don't store PDF's on my device after I read them (I email myself the highlighted copy) and even for documents, if they get very large (e.g. taking notes on a music production course I am taking), I email them and then delete from my device. The "issues" that are raised in this series are valid BUT not at all consequential in my view. This device has eliminated paper from my life - is with me everywhere and I am, just a month into this, at a point where I can't live without it.
So after two years did u end up buying the type folio or have you done without it?
Damn I was expecting a review not a scientific study on the thing. Thanks for making such a detailed review highlighting not just the improvements but also its design flaws.
Frankly I was enthusiastic when I ordered it in May, since I was batch 5 I was going to get it before school started. But when they announced the delay I was a disappointed and left me kind of skeptical about weather the device was being rushed or not, and honestly came to this review trying to find an excuse to refund it.
Although the storage and battery life when writing are lackluster, they're not deal breakers for me. I can say you restored my enthusiasm for this device. Can't wait for October now. Thanks for your hard work, you've fully earned this subscriber.
Well put David, I'm in the same batch and had the same considerations as you. There's still functionality lacking but the design and responsiveness of the device makes up for some of those. I'm hoping the lacking features will be tacked soon. Then it's an unbeatable device.
I'd also like to have more storage especially for PDFs but I suppose it's possible to shift some around. In the end you won't be reading more than a couple simultaneously anyway. A nice feature there would be the connection to a cloud service that allows you to see the meta file but synchronize the data contents on demand.
Best review of an product I've ever seen in my life. You are doing the same stuff in your test I do during my usage. All of my devices never worked as expected and showed always some crazy behaviour.
I agree with many other commenters: This is by far the best review on an e-reader out there. It's obvious that you actually use the device yourself and know it thoroughly (which is not the case with other bigger channels).
I wish I had one of those 55 years ago...I always have been a "writing" student, the kind of like writing things, schemes, graphics, topics...you name it!
But now I have the most enjoyable "gadget" (in fact I have a spare second one as I can't go without it if something happens)
You are unlike others who put their reviews just for fame and show off. You are the best youtuber, who really does an honest and dedicated research on products. Your reviews are unique and enough for us take the decision whether to buy a product or not. Thank you so much for being on CZcams.
Thank you for this review, perhaps the most thorough I've ever seen. Just got my Remarkable 2 and unsure where to go with it, so I've learned a lot already from this review. Looking forward to the follow-ups!
Your glitch reenactment had me literally just laughing. I’m so glad I found your channel and appreciate the info. Hope to have my Rm2 soon.
The best review that I have seen. Great job! You don't just give me the specs off the site in front of a camera, like others, but actually do testing. I especially liked the writing test. Also, your storage review was outstanding!
27:24 YOU RULE!!
As for the glitch, my hunch is that remarkable tries to load up the whole file to generate the snippets of pages, rather than accessing page by page as needed. Total crash means that issue was not under their rader and rM2 team should thank you for putting this over the surface!
The Remarkable Team sent me to my mail reviews from "Mashable", "Tom's Guide", "Gizmodo" and bla bla bla ... , but they should send your review! This is the best review, and the best part: 27:23 haha
Well, I don't even have 10K subscribers. Compared to those milion subs giants, I guess my reach and my voice is quite small, so maybe that's why :) I mean, those guys are institutions at this point, so it kinda makes sense, but thank you for your sentiment :) I really appreciate it :))
I feel the same way
Thank you kindly for this in-depth honest review. I have a paper brain, which means I live off of sticky notes. With my job and lifestyle, I can't live without using my hand to draw and write out ideas for all my projects. Finally, something that fits who I am and what I do on a daily. My reMarkable2 arrives at my door tomorrow!!! My desk that is filled with color-coded sticky notes will no longer crowd my life any longer. I have been counting down the days and looking forward to finally having my own digital sticky notes that can be converted into documents and shared with colleagues and friends. reMarkable I am so in
How has your experience been with it?
You really are the best reviewer out there! Keep it up!
Everyone else! Let's spread the word and make Voja HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEEEE!!!!
Super solid review. I am so tired of having a half dozen notebooks for work, personal etc. I simply couldn't wait until the December run, paid a premium on eBay and will have it this week. If this does what you've shown, its priceless to me! Thanks again.
This is an unbelievable review, the best on the Internet. Thank you so much for spending time going over all the details.
Thank you very much :)
Thank you for the amazing review! There is too many 10 minute reviews out there that leave more questions than answers. So I appreciate the depth you go into, which I think is necessary when gauging if I want to buy a $500 device. The quality of your videos is also top notch. So it is just enjoyable to watch even if I wasn't considering buying the product! *Subscribed*
This review more than the company’s own marketing convinced me to order the device. Very through.
Subscribed.
Now that’s what I call a review! Seriously, as others have also said, you should be on the reMarkable team. They may have some of the things you mentioned on their roadmap, but then again they may just be taking notes from your videos 🙂
Storage - for me personally it’s a note taking device for the short term, and much like real notebooks, I would discard when done. However, agree that in this day and age, it’s a poor spec to hat they can easily incorporate
Pages - Wow! I would love to see them answer your findings. Although I don’t keep for ever, i wouldn’t expect it to fill up after 7000 odd pages
Orientation - How simple to consider flipping the device for left handed users. The Book Folio can still work the other way, why not!
OS - They should attempt to deploy as per Apple - at point of release of new device. I suspect that as the rM2 rolls out, the next big (take ‘big’ with caution!) OS deployment will be in Q4. However, it would be better to have a notification of release to show improvements coming that take advantage of their new hardware
I just stumbled across this product and was trying to decide if it was for me. Your review was very helpful. I'm in batch 11 now. Cant wait. Thank you!!
Very thorough and passionate review! I really enjoy watching your review, which not just include a list of pros and cons in a short form but delve into every aspect with all the necessary detail (the thousands page claim test for example). I just ordered one today and looking forward to see if it fits my expectation.
Ah, so helpful! Thankyou. I’ve been using my iPad and Apple Pencil for work for about a year now and it works so well for me. I have finally forked out for one of these and it arrived Friday….really good to have all of this info.
I was not expecting this review to be good when i started the video but i must say one of the best review of the product. Sounds so professional and critical. Doing different test and giving explanation was excellent. Loved it. Well done.
Great Job, enjoy all your Remarkable 2 Videos. Continue the great work !
What a great review. About to go watch part 2! Incredible work!
Getting mine in 3 days and can't wait ... :-) Thanks for going through all the little details in so much depth.
This is remarkably detailed review. I really appreciate you taking time and attention to details.
Enjoy ur 1st review on this device! Thank you!
Regarding the system crash, I agree with your guess on the lack of RAM. My further guess is that deploying more RAM may induce higher cost and prob. reducing the battery life.
Regarding the 7541 pages storage for the remaining 6.4GB storage. My guess is that product designer expects user to convert all hand-writing into text and forgo all hand-writing, then the storage size may be reduced substantially. (correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm now using a Kindle Oasis 2019 happily but it's merely a good eReader but cannot write notes. I also own an iPad Pro, but still actively looking or a good note-taking device that doesn't need to charge battery every day or more frequent. This one is good, but there're some good candidates using Android with powerful CPU and 32GB storage that this model is lacking.
Can you tell me some alternatives
At the end of the day, I cannot wait to get my rM2. As a person with ocular migraines AND in an industry where I must use computers constantly, e-ink technology is a GAMECHANGER for my health, work flow, peace of mind, etc...not to mention I love niche tech like this!! I initially was drawn to the rM2 because I heard it would have a Chrome plug-in. I can’t wait to watch the rest of this review as well as your other ones. I deeply appreciate the length and depth of which you go to! All these details have me loving the remarkable even more! But also, I know that once I get my rM2, it really comes down to the fact that my eyes will feel monumentally better and allow me to read, be productive, and be creative while giving my eyes a break :)
First time watching your video. I must say first impression the quality of your video is exceptional! Your hand guestures are very good ; it feels interactive even though we're not seeing your face it seems you are there through your hands. And your voice...wow! Amazing tone of voice for public spekaing...I could listen to you all day. Again...I haven't watched it all yet, but just checking cuz my hubby considering getting one of these, and I had to compliment your video right away. Keep up the good work!
Excellent review!I really like the detail and commitment in giving the best review!!
We love you Voja.Thank you, as always!
One of the best Remarkable 2 reviews I have ever seen. Good to watch. Love it.
Okay, so I'm a dork... I actually took screenshots of Voja's timelapse 1-hour continuous writing and transcribed it... I hope I got it MOSTLY correct. Hard to read the handwriting in a few spots where his hand is in the way, but here it is in all its glory! Enjoy! LOL!
PAGE 1
Battery Test 1
--------------
The purpose of this notebook is to do a controlled battery test.
The test will consist of writing consistently for the duration of approximately 1 hour.
Starting battery level was at 23%. This is all being documented by the overhead camera what will provide the footage of the controlled test. This footage will then be sped up as a timelapse and incorporated in the final review.
Now that the test has started, my main problem will be to find something to write about that will provide a continuous flow of thought. It can't be anything creative as for creative writing I would probably have frequent pauses for thinking, erasing, going back and forth etc. So maybe what I am doing right now is good enough. Basically just writing down my thought process.
Music is of the wrong energy type and to change it... [can't see what you wrote]
PAGE 2
There. Music has been changed and I don't have that distraction anymore. Currently listening to the brilliant Icelandic artist called YAGYR. Album is called "Stormut", translates to "Storms". It's a completely random find (thank you Spotify!) and I just love it! Such a smooth and lovely flow, groove, and energy. Just flows and allows my thoughts and emotions to flow as well. I often wonder how this album was made, because it feels effortless, and after, when you get such an impression, it was anything but!
Anyway, going back to the writing test thing (YAY! I spelled "WRITING" correctly!!!) it's everything that I almost thought through properly. LOL. Testing methodology is definitely in place and saved but could have thought more about the format. Speaking of formats, I think I'll switch to 2 line formatting. ... [blurry at the bottom of the screen]
PAGE 3
All right! Now we're getting somewhere :) 15 minutes... Wait a minute. The new formatting rules. Does that mean that numbers will be in 1 or 2 lines?? Hmmm... Let's test, shall we? :)
1 sheep crossed the road to hell. 2 sheep followed 1 sheep. The man woke up, only to find that the clock was staring back at him. The man said "Hello". The clock said "4:16". 4:15 - The man thought. Again, too early. What is the point of getting an alarm clock if it will never have the chance to wake me up?
Whoa there! We've agreed to no creativity, right? Yes, yes I'm stopping right now. I just wanted to test the numbering format and what have you decided on? Small, or rather, 1-line height looks more "right" to me. When it's in 2-lines it seems like the numbers are cheating, or something, and that makes me feel anxious. That's not how you spell that one I know, and at the moment, I don't care :)
PAGE 4
The pen feels very authentic. I'm even pressing the pen too hard when writing, so the tips of my fingers are going numb.
Maybe this Test 1 is a good opportunity to try and break that habit, and start writing lighter and to hold the pen with less pressure, as it really doesn't require much pressure to be used and held in hand correctly and comfortably.
The flat end of the pen lies a bit better when it's on the thumb side. Let's flip over to the index finger and try that for a while.
PAGE 5
Umm. This feels weird. Almost as weird when writing with my left hand. Ok, definitely not for me. It's tying my brain into a pretzel. I had a friend who used to hold his pen like this. This was back in high-school and I remember, that his notes and pen holding always looked weird. I agree today as well, because this still looks weird and instantly makes my handwriting more weird-looking, and way less readable.
Ok. now for something else. No... Alright. Writing styles testing is done. I have exhausted this one as well.
PAGE 6
Yay! It looks like I might be able to pull this test off! We are past the halfway point now! My hand isn't tired and I find writing on the reMarkable 2 to be a continuously rewarding experience! If only it was a normal, usable reader too.
Well, that was weird. I just had a random restart, out of the blue? Almost no notes were lost, so that's good, and it's ok that the device restart cycle is super fast, but random restarts suck...
PAGE 7
And this was exactly while I was criticizing it's reader capabilities. Hmmm... Internal conspiracy INC! Joking aside, I hope that they will iron out these problems because it's quite an alarming thing to happen on such a classy and modern device.
I am looking forward to the second half of September. My semester lectures will be done by then, and next lectures will be at the end of November. beginning of December. So plenty of time to focus on development of my new game.
PAGE 8
I'm also going to try and fit in finalizing of my 2nd album as "Angry Dwarf" since it's so close to completion. Hopefully, the album will be picked up by "the dude" and that he'll like it enough to actually go for a physical release. I would love that!!! Maybe even a United Vinyl run, like 100 copies. That would be very sweet.
Ok. 18 minutes to go! This is going pretty quickly. I'm dying to see the statistics of the latest video and to see if I need to
PAGE 9
answer on some comments or not. This whole thing with reMarkable is a very exciting opportunity, and I'm aware of how much responsibility there is on my back. Do the product's justice, AND, give the users an objective, balanced review of the device. Don't think. Just do. When I trust myself and I do, a careful and thoughtful approach to things that carry a lot of weight, regardless of the result, I can always stand behind my word.
PAGE 10
I wish it had buttons. I miss buttons. But on the side! Gestures are ok, and palm rejection has so far been quite good. In 47 minutes of continuous writing, I have had only one unintentional page flip and a restart. I wonder if that restart had anything to do with a confused palm rejection. Who knows. Well, probably the internal log does.
Ok, 2 unintentional page turns. So not perfect, but certainly not a big problem. I think that this is within normal tolerance and expectations.
PAGE 11
10 minutes to go. Who would have thought that the time would pass by so effortlessly? That's the thing about this device. If you like writing, you're going to spend a lot of time with this device, because it's very inviting to just write on it and spend time with the device. It is truly a remarkable experience how fast the response time is. I just want to write, and write, and write. :) I guess that's the point of the device in the first place.
PAGE 12
I just wish that I could do the other things on it equally well, like
- Bookmarking pages and managing my bookmarks.
- And so much other stuff.
But, maybe? Maybe in time they will actually say: "Hey, you know what? Let's give our masterpiece of hardware design and engineering a software environment and functionality that is worthy of such a monumental achievement." Because, as far as writing goes, it's nothing short of a monumental achievement. It... [can't see bottom of page]
PAGE 13
2:47 seconds remaining in this Test 1. Thankfully, Test 2 is much easier! I just mark down the battery level and then put the device to sleep, for at least 12-13 hours. Then I wake it up and see what the battery level is at, and presto, Test is done! Yay, so, I feel that this was worth the effort because it will give a realistic understanding of what to expect. At the start level was 73%. Test is now done, and let's see. Power to 66% after 1 hour of continuous writing. That's 7% in 1 hour... Sooooo we should get around 14 hours of continuous use. I must do the same test on rM1 and then compare.
Actually I also have restarts on my RM1, approximately after 40-50 minutes of continous writing. Usually forgets last couple of strokes, but otherwise everything is ok. Hmm, I used to think it's because of RAM, but RM2 has twice capacity. So now I'm wondering what really is the issue.
I think you have too much free time on your hands 😂
Thank you so much for a lovely video and keep it coming please ...the storage issue was absolutely an eye opener for me ...
Great review and many thanks for providing a table of content with time indexes, very nice touch!
Nice work on this product review! Love the light background music, you are very concise and clear, and the information is top notch! Got a new subscriber here!
"Beautiful gunmetal thingy"...love it!!
Thank you so much for this review!!! You are so thorough!! Needed to see this before I purchase.
Thank you for performing those excellent tests. Deal breaker for me regarding the storage issues of Remarkable 2. I will stay with Ratta. Thank you!
Ratta? I will look into this product. I only want to write, I don’t need bells & whistles but I do want storage…
Yes, Supernote from Ratta. Excellent for writing. In addition, the pen nib never wears (If you choose the Heart of Metal option).
Wow! What an interesting and thorough review. THANK YOU!
Wow man I see your work behind your videos, I really appreciate that.
Many thanks - for a newcomer to this device you've been really helpful. Thank you so much.
Two taps on the CAP key switches on ALL CAPS....
Great review and information. I bought one and love it so far.
You are a MASTER. I have learned. Thank you once. Thank you twice. Thank you ONCE again.
Wow, this is a really impressive review. Thanks so much for the detail and the table of contents!
Firstly, wow, amazing review as always! So detailed and informative.
Secondly, wow, there are some major flaws with this! Let's hope they break away from rM1 and start implementing some REAL software updates 👍
This review is the best review I ever watched! (unboxing + part 1-4)
I predict My Deep Guide will be a meme in the near future.
“Well, they didn’t Deep Guide it.”
(comment on anything showing lack of planning, depth or basic insight.)
¡El mejor análisis de tabletas tinta electronics en CZcams!
Absolutely fantastic review. You steered me off purchasing this very expensive writing tablet. Maybe they’ll get it right on the Remarkable 3 (if they make it that far).
Pages Test - I just created (copy) of 1000 page notebooks
• Filled a page (narrow lined page)
• duplicated to 1000
• copied the 1000 page notebook
• rM would make one copy, then crash on second copy
• I got to 6000 pages - not including my own notes
• Ended with 5.84Gb used of 6.53 available
• Deleted the 6 x 1000 page notebooks. Restarted, storage didn’t clear until I connected to wi-fi (which I have switched off to maintain battery)
• Now back to 1Gb of 6.53Gb used
So yes. About 7000 pages max in reality.
EDIT: This was tested on rM1. I provided this as feedback to reMarkable. I should have added that they are presenting a false claim, imply that I would instigate a class action lawsuit - like people do with Apple. That would get them to respond very sharpish!!
Ooooh. That's a clever way to measure it. Kudos.
Thank you so much for this... not only informative, but funny too... my kind of learning!
Thank you, how honest you are in advice!
Thanks for your great review. I just received my remarkable 2 and am new to these kinds of tablets. The thing that struck me immediately I switched it on was how much greyer the screen is compared to a sheet of white paper. There is no brightness adjustment. It looks white in your review but it really isn't white at all. So quite a different experience compared to writing on regular white paper.
Many thx for this great series of review of this tablet!
I don't usually comment on videos that I watch but this is one of the exceptions. Nicely done review, even discovered a flaw on the software in terms of the storage. I hope you make money off your work. Please keep being unbiased. You just earned a sub from me and I will not skip your ads (I promise). Hope you do more products
Thank you very much :)
Thank you for your detailed reviews. They were really informative and I hope the remarkable team sees them to correct the negative aspects. Nevertheless I'am looking forward to get my Remarkable 2 in (hopefully) Oktober. The hardware and form aspects are seemingly already great. The software updates can (should) be made as soon as possible.
Great reviews. I have owned the Sony DPT S1 for about 4 years now, and it has been great (especially battery life. I can leave it for months and it will still have enough charge to use). The only problems I had with the DPT S1 was that it was a bit too slow, the bezels became annoying to write with, it was a bit too bulky for my needs, and it lacked a book-like cover which added some extra effort when starting and stopping writing.
After seeing your reviews I decided to order a Remarkable 2. Even with the leather bookfolio case and marker plus, it is still cheaper than the 800 dollar DPT-S1.
Just got a used Sony, my first 13" lol For music it is amazing. Mind blower
I pre-ordered mine with the grey folio, but damn that black looks sharp.
Excellent review 👏🏼 I’ll most certainly wait for the reMarkable 3 rumored for this year.
WOW, I mean, really, WOW, your review was remarkable and your gave great details - thank you!
Best review about RM2 by far. Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much! How would you compare the note-taking/writing experience (latency and functionality) on the RM2 vs the Max 3
Max 3 was almost as quick as rM1 was, but a tiny bit slower. rM2 is more than twice as fast as rM1.
I am a tech enthusiast. Love all types od tech but I am Broke af but I watch his Reviews just to feel happy. Maybe one day I will have My own youtube channel.
Liked and subbed!! Thank you for your help and insight.
I was going to purchase this, but decided to pass. Reasons? No contrast adjustment, no portrait and landscape switching, poor to no support for different ebook formats, memory, stagnation of software, from what I understood it’s the exact same as the previous version, (BIG red flag for me). Most to all of these changes can be made through software changes. These are BASIC features that come with most other ebook readers. From my prospective, this looks very impressive and I would love to own one, but buyer remorse would set in, because of the down falls. For the price point as a consumer, give me what I want. Most are an extremely easy fix. Make it happen!
-thank you for all your hard work in reviewing this!!! Your awesome!
Hi, I've been watching your reviews since your initial perspectives of the original Remarkable back in 2017 and have become a big fan.
To make a long story short:
Now, as I push 50 years of age, I've suffered from Adult ADHD (type: inattentive), with every achievement over the decades being an epic struggle.
Do you have any advice on training regimens to help me harness the mental focusing acuity and advantage of this revolutionary tool? I've had the original ReMarkable since 2018, and have not been using it to the fullest potential and benefits available for someone with my condition.
Thanks in advance,
Kent
first genuine review on the remarkable, thank you
Thank you for this review. the best ever!
Great review! I ordered this device in January. Event those weakness you mentioned (no frontline, no bluetooth, short of memory) I still keep my order. I think most of the user, like me use it as a accessory to notebook (I mean computer), not a substitute for a computer. No front/back light = more battery life, no BT= no need, because for typing is mutch more productibe on a computer (notebook). About memory, It is a notes taker device which need an organisation and archiving feature, which is given in a Cloud service viw WIFI. Think about you have a 7500 page papar notebook with an option the store/retrive archived pages. More than enough...for me.
Really great review! I really appreciate the attention to detail you put into this, and it's only part 1! :)
Thanks for commenting on the left-handed functionality at 41:00. Agreed there are some missed opportunities here. Will the marker magnet work on the left side? I'd be interested to see. And then I'd likely stick the tablet into the included case binder-side up, if so. It's a lot to spend on a device w/o having these questions answered.
No, just right side and a bit on the back
I just got it, and all I wanted it for is taking notes for my studies. Well worth it. I wanted to get rid of notebooks(paper). I like I can put my notes in folders. Nice unit. I do some diagrams, and it is very nice
Hello, I know this video is 2 yrs old but I recently purchased the r2, for journaling and working on my dissertation information, and watching your videos to learn how to effectively use it. I discovered if you hold the caps arrow down it will activate the caps lock feature. The same procedure will also unlock it. Thank you for the instructions and review, it is very helpful.
Thank you for watching :) Yes, that functionality was added after this video was made :)
What a great, helpful video - thanks so much!
Man, you got my respect for such an amazing review. Bravo!
Thank you for such detailed review!
Thanks for the review! They really need to listen to the community a bit more I feel like! A lot of stuff should be updated to be futureproof. Btw Thanks for stepping up for the lefties :D
I was about to buy the Remarkable 2 but after watching this review I gave it up! Thanks to ''My Deep Guide''.
THIS is how a review is done, bravo, Sir.
Wau.. the best review and "reviewer" I've ever seen.. Speech, facts, video = great work. Thanks a lot, you sold it to me !!
Thank you, but please be sure to watch all 4 parts to be fully aware of what are the limitations of the device and my video regarding the jagged lines issue, to be fully informed.
I've had my remarkable 2, with book folio, and marker plus, for 5 days now. This is a brilliant device, for taking notes, and does a pretty good eReader. I'm using this as my note taking device, for meetings/training etc, it is excellent. I have the Connect service for free for 100 days, then £7.99 a month, which is a bargain, for the features given. The design is superb, the writing experience is also superb, very little wrong with this device, so much better than than an iPad pro with PaperLike installed. The cons, no backlight if you want to read is not there. Sometimes a freeze, where you having to shut down and do a restart, which annoying , but this device has very more positives than negatives. One more positive the company has said that they are not going on the Samsung/Apple business model, which is releasing new hardware every year, which is good. Sorry for the long review, but this device is superb and is much better than remarkable 1.
Fantastic Job done with this rekviem. Will continue with the others. Thank you for a very good job🤗🤗
1. Thank you for this absolutely excellent, detailed review
2. A great pleasure to listen to you
So I purchased and will be receiving it next Tuesday if all works well. Thanks to your videos, I already know how to use it 😏
I suspect the hardware (both RM1 and RM2) supports Bluetooth. Wireless is based on AP6256 and AP5256 respectively, and both are Wifi+BT chips.
Just got mine. Rather than feeling like something “new”, ironically it’s about the thickness and weight of a piece of slate. What’s old is new again. So far I’m pretty impressed with it. They need to have a way of emailing pdf’s directly to the cloud storage-rather than a multi-step process of downloading and uploading. Perhaps they do and I haven’t learned it yet.
keyboard is missing the control keys; keys that I always use during text editing for cut copy and paste. Also is there a plain text (ascii) file format?
First of all - huge applause for this wonderful and insightful review! I just got my Remarkable2 several days ago (before watching this) and I just want to say that I do have CAPS lock. 34:11 we can see and arrow on the key board and when you press it turn all letters into capital letter. Mine is Batch8 and when started 1st it prompted a software update.
Hello and thank you :)
I think that you should take into account that the review was done in late August when current OS version was 2.2 and that would explain all of the differences you have mentioned here and in your other comment :)
@@MyDeepGuide ah, noted, thanks so much! I was wondering about that since August didnt seem so far away. I am currently on part 3. Big thank you!
Would it be able to read a usb c micro sd card reader dongle?
Awesomeness - I needed the in-depth overview - I was getting lost by reading the website instructions. I give these videos 2 thumbs up BUT remarkeable not sure yet.
QUESTION: Does anyone know if there is a way to force a sync - when I upload a pdf to my computer app .. there's a delay before it shows up on my device - there are some things I look to do quick edits on and if I could get the document to come across earlier that would help.
It is truly reMarkable how much they focused on form over function.
I found a tech God guru. I'm so happy right now. Loved this video. I needed this. You went above and beyond. I was all in until I learned about the false claim of 100k pages unless it's a minimum of 2 lines. Im not all in or all out, but it has me on the fence
Also the left hand ideas😫 Remarkable should of asked you for these ideas before they made the 2.
I wonder if they had assumed you would convert your notes to text. Normal compression gains would kick in at that point.
Thanks so much for your review, I'm glad to hear that it's an overall awesome device, even if it doesn't quite live up to the company's claims for storage.
