| Many people would be fine with that solution, it's definitely more robust in a lot of ways. A few reasons I like my remarkable (I have an original and a 2, and got my wife one): 1. forced isolation - no notifications come into this device when I'm using it out of the box. It's a nice intentionally crippled feature for focus. 2. The feel. It's like writing on paper, or very near to it. The texture of the tablet and the pencil together is really ... remarkable. It's not at all the same as writing on an iPad or iPad Pro. 3. I doubt in a quantitative comparison the remarkable would beat the iPad in latency, but it still feels damn good. Surprisingly good compared to other touch screen/pencil tablets. Gripes: - some edge effects when writing, loses some precision - the touch buttons on the original were more ergonomic for navigation, the swipe gestures in the 2 seem to work 50-60% on the first try. - replacing the nubs on the pencil is annoying, but I barely made it through my first included package with the remarkable 1, so not a real problem. - software is rudimentary. A lot of quality of life features do not exist and maybe should. The writing app, which should kind of be the only thing given attention is pretty far behind, and has only made small improvements (at least visibly to me, this is not to diminish what I am sure is a lot of behind the scenes work to make everything fast). I probably wouldn't jump to buy a third one, unless it had physical navigation buttons, but the progression from 1 to 2 was pretty amazing. The thing was already thin, but the 2 is so thin I'm amazed it can house a USB-C port. |
