So, I've been using Remarkable-2 for over 6 months now. And it's amazing!

Pros:

1. A single charge lasts a WEEK!

2. I used to write a lot of notes on white sheets, add addendum here and there. Now, its all on reMarkable.

3. My table clutter has reduced significantly.

4. I'm writing a lot more!

5. It syncs to cloud and I can immediately read the notes on my computer, mobile.

6. It's so thin and lightweight. Definitely doesn't feel cheap. It has a nice premium feel to it.

7. New updates like Pinch and Zoom functionality has made it easier to read PDFs.

Cons:

1. Battery life sucks if you're connected to WiFi.

2. Expensive - Product + Sleeve + Marker with Eraser sets you back $500+.

Strongly recommend to anyone who writes a lot.

Addressing the pricing con: I have the Remarkable 1 and it addresses most of the pros but not quite as fancy as the 2. It still costs a lot but is 300 vs 500. Seems like prices have gone up since I bought it for ~200.
