When I removed the Marker, its replaceable tip didn't come back out with it, and now I can't find it.Īnd, having used both, I'd rather spend the extra $30 to $80 for the Book Folio case, which is basically a protective dust jacket that the reMarkable 2 magnetically attaches into. If you get the reMarkable 2 with the regular Folio, the polymer-weave sleeve that it slides into, don't make the same mistake I did with the little space for the Marker at the top. Otherwise, you'll need to tap twice (once to open the tools menu and a second to select the eraser) to erase any mistakes.

What do you get for $50? Well, it's black and not white, it's 27% heavier at 19 grams (vs 15 grams) and its flat half works as an eraser, though you have to lift the butt of the Marker Plus off the screen for the content to be erased. You can either get the reMarkable 2 with the regular Marker stylus (currently free, discounted from $49) or the $50 Marker Plus (currently discounted from $99), which is the one I've become accustomed to during my testing.

Both the iPad Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 offer 9ms latency for their pen input, which will be a goal for the reMarkable to chase. The reMarkable 2 offers a 21 millisecond latency, improving on the tap-to-screen inking time of the original reMarkable (55ms). I don't think that's the key difference maker, though, as the reMarkable 2 moved at speeds that felt more confined by the refresh rates of digital paper. The 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM processor in the reMarkable 2 allows for prompt and snappy speeds when you're moving between apps. All instruments, minus the highlighter, allow you to choose between small, medium and large for the size of your writing. Some tools, like the pen and marker let you draw in black, gray or white, while the pencils only let you write in black. If you're wondering how the pencils differ, the regular pencil lets you create shading by writing with the side of the Marker tip on the page. When it's time to write, you have 6 virtual inking tools to choose from: a ballpoint pen (my standard) the Fineliner (which has a thinner tip that looks like the Pilot Precise pens), a marker, a pencil, a mechanical pencil, a highlighter and a paintbrush. And found myself more able to focus on what I was doing while I wrote on the reMarkable 2, rather than if I had used an app for taking notes.

It's so natural and fun to write with the reMarkable 2 that I switched to it for a series of professional (product briefings) and personal (Dungeons and Dragons) meetings. The reMarkable tablets offer a natural writing feel that's much closer to the feeling of using a pencil or pen on paper than any gadget I've used before. There is nothing like the reMarkable 2 (and the reMarkable 1) when it comes to writing. But when the reMarkable is this thin and light, I can excuse the lack thereof, which would have probably made it bulkier. When I used the Chrome extension "read on reMarkable" to send a blog post to my reMarkable 2, I did realize that I wished the slate offered some kind of lighting, for when you want to read in the dark. That's less of a problem, though, and more something I consider "room for improvement." Reading PDFs on the reMarkable 2's display, I've seen crisp-enough letters, though I can see pixelation when I look at anything I write on the panel. I've tested Kindles and other e-readers with digital paper for years, and I've never expected them to be great for image quality. While the duo-tone Dungeons and Dragons character sheet I imported to the reMarkable 2 looks super crisp, images I moved over from PDFs don't look as clear.
