This is the hole point why they created reMarkable, to basically disconnect you from the constant interruptions from today's world. You can read about this on their blog: https://blog.remarkable.com/ I got reMarkable 2 and it really works! Now I'm even making notes when I'm in front of my computer, it's way better feeling than typing.



I got the reMarkable 2 also, and I love it. There is one aspect of paper it does not really replicate well, though, and that is the ability to spread half a dozen sheets of paper in front of you for quick reference while you're working on your notes. Swiping between pages is too disruptive, not to mention jumping back and forth between notebooks.


How is the latency between interacting with pen/screen.

I'm so tempted by these devices but that is my main concern, does it truly feel like pen on paper?


The latency has been much improved between rM1 and rM2, apparently. I have only the latter, and I can say the latency is not at all noticeable. My only complaint is with the accuracy of the digitiser: My strokes tend to end up a fraction of a millimeter higher up on the page than where I intend them to go. This is very rarely a problem for me, but can be a source of irritation when I make minor corrections. I have no idea if this is universal or specific to my device, but I intend to find out.


It is barely to not at all noticeable. They also have a matte surface that makes the pen feel and sound like it's actually scratching on paper.


When i first got my rm2, i was looking for that latency, but noticed little. After ten min i forgot all about it


Looked interesting until it said that I needed to use Chrome + a browser plugin. Not keen on switching browsers.


I think this is for the "read later"-functionality only. Also, it's a hackable device with SSH access as an official feature.


Yes, i got one too. Biggest boost in productivity in years


Do you mind expanding a little bit on what you use it for? I am thinking about getting one myself.


Its very simple; I take notes every monring on what I'm going to do for work for the day, and then take nodes on what I push out to the next day or week

This could be done with pen an paper, but my mind does not like all the paper laying around. Clutter bothers me

I love this tool but I know its only right for some people

I hope this helps
