I recently started a new job. The CEO got tired of misplaced or illegible notes, so the Remarkable 2 became a requirement for the Executive Team.
I have a short attention span and habitually take notes during meetings/discussions, so I've always loved a good notebook. I was skeptical and a little annoyed when I was told a $500 "notebook" was a requirement for my new role. After a week of use, I'll never take notes on paper again.
While it is a digital device, the Remarkable 2 isn't much more complicated than a legal pad. It's every bit as thin as a standard notepad, and the sensation of writing is surprisingly close to pen and paper. It wakes from sleep instantly, and and is surprisingly responsive.
The ability to create and organize new notes is incredible, and navigating your library is fast and simple. There are so many templates I haven't had time to use a fraction of them. If you can't find a suitable template, you can create a PDF and upload it. Your notes are synced to your Remarkable account and can be viewed online in near real-time.
The Remarkable 2 is expensive, but I find it worth the price. I no longer have to keep up with multiple notebooks, or flip through pages at the start of a meeting.
My only complaints are that it charges very slowly and if you use it throughout the day every day like me, the battery life is less than impressive. Otherwise it's an excellent alternative to paper without the complications of a normal tablet.
