I got one as well, almost mad at myself when I did because I was 90% sure I would use it for a week and then never again.

But I said what the hell. And I'm so glad I did, it's a great device that definitely fills a niche in my workflow. I mostly use it for brainstorming sessions. I like it a lot. I wish it synced more seamlessly but perhaps that'll happen at some point.

Me too! I thought it'd be a paperweight, but I immensely enjoy it. It's esp. nice if you throw a custom calendar on it (via reCalendar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys2fNQu0v0o&feature=youtu.be)
Killer app that I didn't know I needed: its built-in screen-share feature lets you easily and reliably share the tablet's screen with a desktop app over wifi. This has been super useful for whiteboarding/diagramming over Zoom.

(Older versions of the software had a very buggy implementation that has since been fixed.)

You can screenshare the rm2's screen while diagramming on it? Interesting! Any useful links for that?
I used to have nothing but trouble with the syncing features. But it all seems fixed as of the last update--both in terms of notebook/PDF syncing and the new ScreenShare, which replaced the incredibly buggy previous incarnation of live sharing.
