The idea is kind of cool, but just doesn't seem useful enough to justify a very expensive dedicated device. For the same price you could buy both an ipad, a matte screen protector, and a real notepad and pen. The ipad does all of the tech significantly better, and the physical notepad is a more enjoyable physical writing experience.

The product seemed to be mostly aimed at tech bros with more money than they know what to do with.

You won’t be scrolling TikTok on the Remarkable, though.

This is quite reductive and sophomorically so - "tech bros" as signifier of moneyed & tasteless? on HN? :) - reMarkable has been around for years, well-reviewed, and rightfully so - it's a quite distinctive experience from "an ipad [with] a matte screen protector."

I am not sure I will invest this much, but it's pleasantly surprising to see meaningful advancements in form factor and technology enabled over the longhaul in the products remarkable has made.

I have one, and I used the ipad alternative that a friend has, and the ipad is just better. I haven't used the RM2 in over a year, since the functionality is just lacking compared to even a paper notebook - which is a ridiculous comparison.

I suggest you eagerly await their downfall, as you have understood what so many could not: a $3 paper notebook is better. They'll run out of fools, eventually.
