I have read that you need an additional subscription for using some of the features of the Remarkable Pro. Is it true? If that's the case i would like to know what features are free of charges and what are additional paid features.
I am considering the PP. I am an attorney and will use it for making notes and marking up PDF’s. Here’s my question: How seamless or easy is it to transfer the docs from my laptop and then transfer back? Thank you
There is a desktop app for the Remarkable pp, and that can be downloaded from their site. The only thing that’s a little hassle is creating a PDF version of the document, but other than that it should be just opening the app and adding the desired file, it’ll pop up in the device immediately. Then when the file is edited, you just copy and paste from the desktop app to the computer. I want to say it’s easy as dragging and dropping but I really haven’t used the desktop app for a while, just the iOS and android. But yeah, it should be 7.5/10 in the seamlessness, at least for me.
I got my rMPP about two days ago, but I'm having mix feelings about it. For starters, it doesn't feel like writing on paper at all, more like smooth plastic. Have you notice if the writing feel has changed over time as you use the tablet more?
The first time I got it, It feels gritty when I write on it, like pencil on a rough paper on mine. But, yeah, it gets a little smooth to write on as the days pass. Have you been writing a lot? I noticed the nib gets a little smoother faster than the Remarkable 2, like very fast, in the remarkable 2 I only changed the nib once, and that’s because a friend dropped it on the floor. When I wrote in the remarkable 2 though, it’s more smooth than the paper pro.
@@Lucas_Alpay I haven't written a whole lot, and my screen doesn't feel gritty as you put it. I say it's almost no different than writing on an iPad with a matte screen, I feel no friction. I know it shouldn't be possible, but a part of me feels like reMarkable has been making their Paper Pro with two different screens.
Like the screen’s made of plastic, huh? Instead of textured glass? I don’t blame you in feeling that way though. Maybe return it after a couple of days of testing?
I personally enjoy the writing feel better than the rM2 (I used it for four years). I think people describe the “slippery” feeling as more like a rollerball pen on paper. I do understand why some people feel that way if you write lightly it can feel more “slippery.” just remember it’s ultimately personal preference so just because someone else describes it as that doesn’t meant that’s how you will perceive the experience. I haven’t put it down and love the writing feel, way better to me than the rM2.
I hear the color model has a slick surface that looses the paper feel when the stylus is applied to it - resulting in a pencil-on-glass slippery-sensation. Is that the case?
Whenever I run my fingertips on the surface, I can feel the texture. And when I write on in, there is that scratchy sound still, but there’s something about the nib they’re using that it makes it a little slicker than the true experience, the nib also seems to worn out easily that the previous model. If I have to rate it from 1 to 10, 1 being too slippery, it should be 7. When I tested the older model again it’s almost the same but it’s a little more slippery than the paper pro, it’s about 6.5/10. I tend to write light as well, and the glass screen doesn’t feel like glass sometimes.
Just like that Lucas was 600 dollars lighter :) instead could have purchased a 50 dollars laptop from 15 years ago which would have no internet connection, have a pretty slow screen and CPU and limited capabilities exactly like this device and obtain the same "distraction free" experience. There are plenty of eink devices on the market and not a single one is able to do the handwriting recognition perfectly, so you spend inevitably time making corrections; so your book takes not only 5x more to be written, because handwriting takes more time than typing, but you then need to go back and fix the errors that the handwriting to text conversion makes. They are great tools, although very overrated, to the point where people really make them appear more than what they really are. For some maybe they can do magical things, but for the 99% of the population, eink devices are just a very simplistic item that cover a very niche area. And I have tried the 3 major brands; and still go back to my microsoft surface device every single time, except for reading books or taking notes
I've been a ReMarkable user since the first model. Upgraded to the ReMarkable 2 several years ago. But I am hesitant to upgrade to the color ReMarkable Pro. Why? The 2 still serves all of my writing and editing needs. The black only writes and types so smoothly on the 2. The Pro seems in the videos to have a lag when writing or typing that I don't experience on the 2. Thoughts? Of all the review videos I've seen on the ReMarkable Pro, Lucas' is the most creative and personal.
Hmm, to be honest, don’t buy the Paper pro if you don’t need the color. If you remove the colored e-ink, the paper pro is just an oversized remarkable 2. The black still writes smoothly and it also types smoothly as well, I haven’t experienced any lag (yet). That’s why I really try my best to shove the camera lens as close as possible to the paper pro when writing to demonstrate “real life”. But, yeah don’t give in unless you really have a use case for the color, if you already have a work flow for writing and editing, think carefully if it will be enhanced if you buy this. We’re still on the hype train of this thing, the itch to buy is real.
