This seems right to me. I had an iPad Pro and it was kinda meh. Basically just collected dust. Got a remarkable 2 and basically use it every day for note taking and sharing between it and my computer. Annotate PDFs, make drawings like in a notebook. It’s so lightweight and hassle free, battery lasts ages, super easy to have alongside my MacBook to get stuff done. I’m super happy with it, haven’t touched my iPad Pro since I got it.

The only thing I would like on there remarkable, which seems to be more of an eink limitation, is the ability to create multiple colored highlights. I find myself drawing a lot of graphs and often need the ability to create different lines that can be distinguished when the graphs get complicated.

But other than that, remarkable has been basically a dream as a replacement for pen and paper (which I didn’t use that often anyways).

Thanks, you just confirmed to me that I want a Remarkable. This looks like it was written by future me.

I need a no-hassle, no-distraction, no-fiddling paper-on-steroids replacement. An iPad just seems like it is too much for this. I like that the Remarkable is "limited" in this respect.
