reMarkable Paper Pro Bundle – Leather Folio | 11.8’’ Color Display and Reading Light | Includes reMarkable Paper Pro Paper Tablet, Marker Plus Pen, and Book Folio Case in Black Premium Leather

I had been debating for a while about going for it with a Paper Pro, and I am so glad I did! I constantly write copious notes across various notebooks or typing on my phone or computer and had to find a way to consolidate everything into once place. I really prefer writing but was taking ages typing up my written notes to share out for myself or my team. This piece of kit is a game changer for me! Super light, the pen feels like a real one, as does the paper finish to write on, the writing experience is AMAZING and so easy to make neat and digestible with lots of editing short cuts. There are many options to format, and the convert to text and email functionality I have used so much! It’s making my notes and organisation so much better and there is so much more to discover. I love the highlighting, colour and underlining options to make my notes easy to digest and read quickly too. It’s a slim, and very chic piece of kit which is lightweight and fits into my laptop bag easily, and the battery life so far is extensive. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a personal organiser that saves you significant time! I am learning as I go and the quick videos and content made by remarkable on how to get the best out of it are easy to digest and learn from. Love it!!

Pros - it’s super easy to use, still feels like you are writing with pencil or pen on real paper.It’s excellent at converting my handwriting to text at the easy press of a button.It looks good and feels like a nice weight. It’s designed well and does exactly what it sets out to.I haven’t worked out all the templates and layers yet but it’s great to use.I like the size and weight of it - it’s like an a4 notepad but feels like a good size and weight. It feels like good qualityConsIt is expensive but hopefully time will tell if it’s worth it.

I’ve worked in management and client services for years, relying on notebooks to capture information across topics, clients, and business issues. I have piles of notebooks – everywhere – and finding specific information was a pain. While typing notes on a laptop can be practical, handwriting helps me process and reflect in a way dictation doesn't, and it's less disruptive in meetings.The Paper Pro has been really useful. I appreciate its simple, intelligent design and how easy it is to use. The writing feel is comfortable and intuitive, and while there are useful templates, I especially like how easy it is to draw my own notes, models, and flowcharts with the built-in tools for lines and shapes.Key features for me are the filing system, which allows categorizing notes by topic, client, or issue (much better than sifting through notebooks), and the surprisingly good handwriting-to-text conversion. Even with my atrocious handwriting, it works. The battery life is also great, which is important when traveling.I'm still learning some of the more advanced features, but so far, I'm really impressed. If you rely on handwritten notes and need to sketch things out, this is a really useful device.

I've been using it for two weeks now and it's growing on me.I'm the type of person that normally buys every gadget and fits it in to my life, but over the years I've tried using various tablets, both with and without a stylus and I've never found one that replaces the faithful notepad and pen. I've tried a Kindle for reading, and that lasted about a fortnight. I'd seen Remarkable doing the rounds and had it in the back of my mind, but nothing more. This was until I was sat in a meeting with a client and she was using one and I saw how useful it may be, she let me have a go at writing on it and I was blown away at how much it didn't feel like writing on a tablet with a stylus.. So I bit the bullet, used a load of saved up Amex points, and treated myself.Upon opening the package, it was obvious that this was a quality device. It was packaged well, and has some serious weight to it - the tablet itself just feels like quality. The online setup process felt easy and was completed in a couple of minutes and I was ready to start using the Remarkable.After two weeks of using it, the biggest frustration I have is the weight - on the one hand, it feels quality, but on the other, it feels chonky compared to the A4 spiral pad that it's there to replace. Holding it in one hand is not ideal for long periods of time - which is a shame. After two weeks, I still haven't gotten used to this bit of it. The size of this tablet, it's slightly too big to fit comfortably.I never used the Remarkable 2, so can't directly compare, but the digital ink type of screen is perfectly bright in most scenarios, although some of the background templates could do with an option to make them darker on a sunny day. The backlight is a nice feature, but I can't imagine I'll rely on it too much.Finally, we come down to the price - aside from my phone, this is the most expensive digital device I've purchased in many years - and it's essentially a notepad. The ability to fill in forms and send them straight through to the office is valuable, and the fact I can store my notes on the cloud is very useful, but it's still over £600 of hardware to get started. If it wasn't for the fact I'd spent years building up points that I would probably never have used, then I probably wouldn't have bought one.

The title of the review is intentionally specific.If you are looking for something that does more than take notes, then you will be disappointed.Fantastic technology, it feels similar to paper and pen. Of courses one could argue that a paper notebook and pen is far cheaper. They are right, but you're not buying this because you can't afford a paper notebook.The build quality is fantastic. Feels solid and premium.There are some occasional issues with the pen not being detected by the tablet. They do seem to be widespread and it is frustrating when it happens as there is no clear way to resolve it. It has only happened a handful of times but as of writing this review it is still not resolved
