Chapter 1: Overview of the reMarkable 2 Tablet

In today’s world, there are numerous tools designed to enhance productivity and simplify our daily tasks. This discussion focuses on a device meant for handwritten notes and sketches. However, its potential has been undermined by a flawed subscription model. Here’s why this otherwise impressive gadget risks becoming an overpriced paperweight.

First, purchasing the reMarkable tablet is necessary, whether you opt for a refurbished model or a brand new one, which retails for approximately £339.

Next on the list is the pen, which comes in three variations:

• Basic pen without eraser: £59
• Pen with eraser: £109
• No pen (yes, that's an option): £0

Lastly, you might consider purchasing an official case. There are various styles available, including folio and book folio options. Additionally, you can choose the material of the case, which can affect the total cost.

If you decide to buy a brand new reMarkable 2 tablet, including a pen with an eraser and a leather book folio, you’ll find yourself spending a total of £597.

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of your expenses. To fully utilize this exceptional note-taking tool, a mandatory monthly subscription is required to access your notes from the tablet.

Where’s the catch with the subscription model?

You can opt for a free subscription tier that allows you to connect your reMarkable 2 to a PC or Mac. However, keep in mind that your notes will only be accessible for 50 days and will remain stored solely on the tablet.

Conclusion

The reMarkable 2 could justify its price if the pen were included in the base model and if a subscription wasn’t required. If marketed without these limitations, it would be an attractive option. Unfortunately, I believe their pricing strategy lacks justification. For those who enjoy taking handwritten notes and already own an iPad or a compatible tablet, consider investing in a paper-like screen protector to elevate your note-taking experience.
