Here's a link to the tablet. FWIW everyone who buys one gets a link they can share with family and friends that gives the next buyer $40 off (I think) so feel free to use this link if you like. Again, I have no actual affiliation with Remarkable: bit.ly/RM2DiscountCode

  • imagine making videos so high quality that you have to explain this is not sponsored
  • @ebdelval
    I have made exactly 1 comment entry on any YouTube video in my entire 41 years of life, and it is this one. I have no idea who this guy is, but this video was phenomenal and so well edited. I was up in the air about buying a Remarkable, and now I am down on the ground(?) about it. 100% decided I am buying it. Run the Joules, I am subscribing to your list just because this was so damn entertaining and informative. Hell, I may watch this again.
  • @josephwatson5927
    No BS, this is by far the best youtube video I've seen detailing a product and it's intended use. Great production values and a sense of humour. Thank you!
  • @GoZagz
    There are a lot of good reviews out there, but this is, by far, the best video I've seen on the Remarkable. Thank you for blending the features while sharing HOW you use it.
  • @defaultroute
    I’ve got one. I had notepads everywhere. Loads of them. One for study, one for general stuff, a diary etc. the remarkable does everything you need if you are replacing writing on paper. It’s absolutely perfect.
  • @energeticcodfish
    I was here for a pure tech review, but it turned out to be an inspiring self-management lesson! Well done!
  • Amazing review. tech reviews are notorious for being repetitive across videos. I wish more people shared their personal experience as you did. Keep up the amazing work!
  • Remarkable 2 really is the best. Also the fact that you have access to all the files on the remarkable and on the computer and on your phone with the cloud sync is a game-changer. Having the ability to have many folder, pds, notebooks and more in one place helps so much with multiproject management. You can also do sub-folders as well. So easy to move between folders. Or make duplicates. Also remember you can activate a security code on your remarkable, like a screen lock you would have on your phone. A 4-digit code you choose, to give you some peace of mind that no one else can access your information. :) Great review.
  • @joshuawager3516
    Thank you. I've watched a ton of reviews in my life on so many different products. Normally I make it 15% into the review before I start fast forwarding or even turning it off. This one I enlarged, sat back, and watched from start to finish. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    As a trucker, I find my device to be a lifesaver for managing the tedious paperwork trail that comes with the job. Additionally, as someone with autism, it serves as a cloud for my mind, allowing me to easily access all of my ebooks and utilize memory techniques such as mnemonics, the major system, and memory palaces. This not only saves me time but also makes it easier on my cognitive load. Overall, I love my device for its ability to simplify my life in so many ways.
  • The aesthetic quality of this video is so good it’s almost annoying. Fantastic work and the content was really, really great as well.
  • @tovsteh
    Got my recently. For someone who loves to draw/doodle/write, practice doing this, and hate having to start over/bring and waste paper, this thing is beyond perfect.
  • @LarsDahlin
    Yeah. I got mine at the start of the year. Really changed the way I journal and plan my time. I use the Alastair method for planning and follow up my weeks. I usually convert my hand written text and send it into Journey which is my journaling platform. A bit old school in a good way. There isn't a lot of tech that puts a smile on my face. This one does. And thank you for your video. I learned that if I number the folders I get them arranged in the way I want. Thanks again! "Ha en bra dag", as we say here in Sweden! 🙂
  • @electrifiedspam
    Thank you. I just bought a kindle scribe and you have given me several ideas on how to really get the most out of it. Good video, I wish I could like it twice.
  • @viktoriaberg8706
    I bought my reMarkable before it was even finished, and have not regretted it (still use the first model). I also have a racing mind and write "morning pages" all day long, as needed; it calms me down and helps me regain focus. Also it works for epub and pdf, which I use a lot in both work an leisure. I like its limitations, why do we need every device to do it all? No one thinks a mobile phone and a computer is redundency, they are both good for different things. And the reMarkable has its place in the gadget park.
  • After having watched several paper tablet reviews across youtube, you convinced me to finally buy the ReMarkable 2. Thank you so much for this honest and well produced video, and for posting the friends & family link in the video description! The only one left to convince now, is the YouTube Algorithm that keeps on showing me ReMarkable 2 ads :D
  • @Neo--X
    Really nice video production and product review. You came across as a genuine good friend that one has known for a long time, with honest opinions, not trying to sell you anything.
  • @jcsnsando
    My wife and I print recipes to PDF and load to the Remarkable. We then mark up as we adjust and add notes. It is really helpful as I experiment with cheese making recipes.
  • @irisblue2332
    This is very much gets at the information that I've been searching for--the real, down-to-earth daily use that will help me answer the question of whether it's worth spending money on something I know I can do on paper.
