ReMarkable Paper

Screen feels like paper ; Lightweight body

Missing features ; Middling battery life ; Underwhelming performance ; High price tag

The ReMarkable tablet delivers on its promise of imitating pen and paper, but at a premium most people won’t be happy paying.

Giant e-Ink display is rad. Wacom pen feels more like writing on paper than any other tablet. Having notes, sketches, and books on one device keeps your bag light. Annotating your digital books can be useful. You look super important when you’re...

There’s no good justification for the messy syncing system. Reading experience doesn’t stack up to the competition. Company has an unproven track record for support. Battery life is disappointing. The price is too darn high.

Pricey; A little slow; Limited purposes ; The reMarkable tablet lives up to its name, with the best pen experience we've had, but it's expensive and doesn't serve as a regular tablet.

Fantastic feel for fans of paper ; Straightforward UI ; doubles as a (basic) eBook reader

LCD-based rivals are just as quick, and more flexible ; Crikey, it’s costly ; No backlight

Feels a lot like real paper ; Elegant, lightweight design ; Solid battery life

Expensive ; Limited software and features
