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

    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.
  • @MehradAlibabaei24
    imagine making videos so high quality that you have to explain this is not sponsored
  • @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.
  • @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!
  • @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!

    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.
  • 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!
  • @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! 🙂
  • @CarolHartfree
    Thank you for such an interesting video. I have been struggling to figure out a workflow for this to replace my chaotic paper planning. You have helped so much and I have spent a very happy evening drawing planning pages. (and, of course, not done anything on those lists).
  • 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.
  • @asiewert
    The remarkable is worth every penny. Btw, currently starts at $$298 USD. I have been using since the first version came out. Increased my productivity, allows spontaneous drawing and focus. It is a huge plus that it doesn’t surf the web etc. it’s for writing and drawing period. Mountains of legal pads are now all in this device.
  • @cayric123
    I haven't finished this video, and I'm impressed with your style and information. This a rare for me, so I needed to tell you. I started out looking for more info on digital tablets. I discovered a lot more. Thank you. I'm looking forward to following you.
  • The aesthetic quality of this video is so good it’s almost annoying. Fantastic work and the content was really, really great as well.
  • @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.
  • @claravero2002
    This by far is the most accurate and useful review that I ever see on a product. I received the tablet today as a gift and I’ll get the best of it thanks to your detail explanation ! Thanks for sharing !!

    My Man. I've been following The Loam Ranger (TLR)for a coule years and have been meaning to come over here for awhile, as you occasionally mention it "over there." Long story short, I am 1 year into concussion recovery and doing a lot of really hard work on my concussed ADD/executive functionally challenged brain. I am a note taker and was looking into (for like the 4th time) a writing tablet when I saw this review. THANK YOU. I'm in. This was exactly what I have been looking for for reviews on these darn things. You answered ALL my questions and the clincher is this: I already trust you implicitly. Your Work on TLR is honest, thorough, and so freaking well produced... (and to be honest, just like your desk... clean lines, free of distractions, and very efficient in an artful way).... and that's talking about BIKES (and trails and travel etc etc). Thanks for your honest and dilligence in putting out such high quality and RELEVANT pieces. Mahalo from New Hampshire, USA. (If you are ever out this way with the crew or fam, let's ride bikes!)
