#PAPER WRITER TABLET FULL#

My reMarkable now takes a bit of a back seat in my work, and I think that’s mostly because I don’t have a need to take bulk handwritten notes like I did before (in undergraduate university classes). However, I definitely use it a little differently than I did before. It still plays a role in how I do my work as neuroscientist in-training (PhD candidate). I still carry my reMarkable in my bag on a daily basis. But, in the first year of owning the device, it did exactly what it was meant to do: it was a notebook in device form. Overall, there were easily some noticeable improvements that could have been made before the original reMarkable was released.

It has survived the two years of me owning and using my reMarkable tablet! I took the liberty to get something a little more exciting (and rose gold) for my tablet – a simple apple iPad sleeve, with an apple pencil holder from Amazon. In a similar fashion, I never ordered the folio that is made by the reMarkable company. I would love to buy myself another reMarkable pen to make up for my off-coloured original, but I, still to this day, cannot justify the money to buy the alternative remarkable pens from their website. While I did end up going out and purchasing the Steadler Noris Digital Pen from Amazon, I still love the size of the original pen (and keep using it regardless of its off-white colour). I still haven’t worked out a way to fix this. However, it didn’t take long for the grip of the pen to discolour, looking dirty every time I wielded it. For the first few months, it was nice and crisp white, looking very fancy matchy-matchy with my tablet. I’ve also changed the way I use the tablet (read on…) so I don’t encounter any problems with the battery life at all.Īnother noticeable con that came up in the first year was the discolouring of the original reMarkable pen that comes with the device. The battery issue has considerably decreased with the updates from reMarkable though overtime though. I was charging it probably every two/three days depending on the amount of in-person classes/lectures I had to attend. However, I did find very early on that the battery was very average. I’ve therefore not got a lot to say about anyone who wants to use the tablet for drawing/design purposes (as I don’t have too much experience there – besides a ‘boring lecture’ doodle now and then). I could highlight any of the important things using the highlighter, and that was about all I needed! As I mostly used the tablet for writing simple notes, my go-to was the fineliner in its smallest size. I have never been very fussy with the options of pens/markers on the tablet. Instead of carrying around 4 different notebooks, I had one device with all the note-taking capabilities I needed. My stack of notebook was very easily (and very quickly) replaced with the reMarkable paper tablet. I was always someone who wrote lecture notes in a notebook. It didn’t take long at all to become a staple item in my undergraduate backpack. When I ordered the reMarkable tablet, I was in my third year of university. The actual tactile feeling of writing on the tablet is something that I can’t describe in words, so I’m not going to try, but it definitely is unlike writing on an iPad or phone screen! I haven’t experienced anything that really emulates the feeling of the tablet. Turning it on and feeling the writing experience was definitely something else! Seeing my very familiar handwriting easily translated on reMarkable’s screen was really cool. The reMarkable comes in a grey magnetic box, labelled “better paper, better thinking” and definitely giving off some Apple packaging kind of vibes. I remember it turning up at my door only a couple days after and being absolutely astounded by the unboxing experience. Looking back into my emails, I purchased the first generation reMarkable paper tablet (with a white outer casing) in June of 2019.

Read on to see my (first generation) reMarkable tablet review, two years after its purchase.

But, is the tablet still worth it, two years on? I’ve chatted about its use as a student and as a bullet journal but haven’t yet given a full reMarkable tablet review. The Remarkable Paper Tablet is something that you see, and suddenly want to get your hands on.
