I preordered the remarkable 2 and have been using mine for a long time now.
I would not recommend reMarkable 2 to everyone.
It’s a fantastic product, and it’s good enough to replace a notebook when you are writing for yourself, drawing/sketching etc.
But it’s high UI latency and poor touch screen accuracy makes it effectively unusable for “real-time” note taking such as in a meeting or a classroom. Once you hit the end of a page, moving over to the next page takes long enough that you will derail your train of thought and focus on doing a swipe and waiting for the next pave to load. It gets annoying very quickly.
The second problem is that random access to a page in the middle of your notebook will take so long that going back and reviewing notes from last week is v2 basically never going to happen. The UI experience is really really slow
If you don’t care about quickly accessing a page in the middle of your notes or writing quickly in class or a meeting, reMarkable 2 is awesome.
