DESIGN
The reMarkable Tablet is good for Natural writing and
drawing, with a Lightweight design, Textures shift with
utensil and a Cloud-sync and LiveView with drawing
editing tools for power users. The reMarkable tablet
lives up to its name, but it's expensive and doesn't
serve as a regular tablet. It can't do as much as other
tablets, either, as it's made for writing, drawing and
reading (epubs and PDFs). But when it comes to
writing, the reMarkable is the best tablet on the
market A simple-looking device, the reMarkable (the
first product of a company by the same name)
features a white plastic frame and bezel, an aluminum
back panel and its 10.3-inch Canvas display, which
consists of five proprietary technologies. The tablet's
modest-looking Marker stylus, with eight replaceable
tips, is included. The reMarkable's amazing writing
experience is a one-of-a- kind feature that when
combined with its cloud-sync capabilities and
Photoshop-esque editing, makes it a great tool for
note takers and artists alike. Writing on the slate is
one of the most realistic, comfortable experiences on a
tablet, rivaled only by using an actual pen and paper.
Of course, $599 may be a tough price to swallow for
some, especially when the device is made just for
writing, drawing and reading. For a more feature-rich
tablet, consider the $649 10.5-inch iPad Pro, which
supports Apple's $99 Pencil stylus. It's $149 more
expensive, though, and writing on its glass doesn't
feel as natural. However, the iPad has Apple's huge
library of apps and games, while reMarkable has a
muchmore limited offering. Still, the reMarkable has to
be used to be truly believed, as writers and artists
looking for the best marriage of digital and analogue
won't find a better option.
The reMarkable weighs 12.5 ounces and measures
10.1 x 6.9 x 0.3 inches, so it's large enough to give
you a whole page to write on and light enough that
you can hold it for a while. It's lighter and larger than
the 10.5-inch Apple iPad Pro (17.3 ounces, 9.4 x 6.8
x 0.2 inches) and heavier and larger than the 6-inch E
Ink Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (7.2 ounces, 6.7 x 4.6 x
0.4 inches). The reMarkable keeps things simple for
its buttons and ports. It's got a power and wake
button on the top with the Back, Home and Forward/
New Page buttons on the bottom bezel. You'll use the
micro USB port on the tablet's bottom edge to charge
the reMarkable, but the company plans to add data-
transfer capabilities in a future version.
DISPLAY
The remarkable is designed with 10.3-inch Canvas
display, a monochromatic digital-paper surface that
Incorporates the E Ink Carta technology. While this
panel's on-screen buttons are touch-sensitive, you'll
need to use the slate's Marker stylus to do everything
else. The reMarkable's viewing angles Just like with
actual paper and is nearly perfect.
WRITING AND DRAWING WITH THE MARKER
One of my favorite things about the reMarkable is
letting other people use it. I got looks of shock and
elation nearly every time someone wrote on the slate.
That reaction is warranted because of how good the
act of writing feels. The extremely natural sensation
you feel while drawing comes from moving the pen's
felt tip against the Canvas display. This is a much
more comfortable feeling than writing with the Apple
Pencil on an iPad's glass screen. The one place where
this stylus doesn't stand up to the iPad Pro's Pencil
(or to Microsoft's Surface Pen) is latency. The Marker
got a 55 millisecond delay, which is more than twice
as long as the times from the Apple Pencil (20ms)
and Surface Pen (21ms).
Not only is the Marker's input sensitive to pressure
and tilt, but the Pencil tool also features its own tilt
mode, so you can write as if you're at an angle while
not adjusting your input. The reMarkable's most
impressive trick is that it switches the feeling you get
when writing for each of the different writing tools
(Pen, Pencil and Brush). With each digital utensil, you
get a different amount of friction. Pencil offers the
most friction, while the pen gives a medium amount of
resistance and the brush delivers the smoothest
experience.
OPERATING SYSTEM AND APPLICATION
The reMarkable uses Codex, its own OS. This is a
custom version of Linux that's optimized for low-
latency e-paper. This means you get a brand-new
user interface to learn, one that mostly revolves
around unfamiliar icons. The reMarkable includes 56
templates, such as lined, gridded and sheet music.
reMarkable's proprietary cloud sync means your
documents stay backed up to the cloud, as each
reMarkable comes with 8GB of cloud storage
(mirroring the tablet's local storage). The desktop and
mobile applications let you access your files from
anywhere, with or without the slate. Third-party
storage isn't available yet, but it's a planned feature
for the end of 2017.
The reMarkable apps for Windows and macOS allow
you to export notebooks and documents as PDF and
PNG files. The tablet also comes with a tool built for
those who enjoy creating for a live audience. LiveView
mirrors your current document to the macOS and
Windows apps.
PERFORMANCE
The reMarkable runs on an ARM A9 CPU with 512MB
of RAM, which shows when pages pause between
loading and buttons take a second to respond to
touch. The reMarkable runs as fast as most E Ink
devices (such as Amazon's Kindles), but it's certainly
less snappy than an iPad.
BATTERY LIFE
The electronic white paper is rated to last 21 hours.
ACCESSORIES AND WARRANTY
The reMarkable costs $599 and includes the marker,
extra tips and a wool-felt folio case that has a pocket
for the Marker. An extra set of eight Marker tips costs
$12. reMarkable says each tip should last at least
three weeks, and that less pressure and usage could
extend their life to six weeks.
