与其他平板电脑不同，感觉就像在真正的纸上书写一样。它具有时尚的设计、持久的电池且不受干扰，非常适合学生、专业人士和创意人员。在这篇 reMarkable 2 评测中，我们将仔细研究这款设备，看看这款电子墨水平板电脑是否可以取代您的电子阅读器或平板电脑(replace your e-reader or tablet)。
ReMarkable 2.0 平板电脑：第一印象(First Impressions)和规格(Specs)
reMarkable 2.0 是一款笔记平板电脑，其时尚的设计给人留下了真正非凡的第一印象。当我拿到手上时，我发现它非常轻薄，厚度仅为 4.7 毫米，重量为 403.5 克。这款平板电脑很容易随身携带并在旅途中使用，我不得不承认从第一天起我几乎走到哪里都带着它。
得益于第二代CANVAS显示技术，该平板电脑的纸质电子墨水显示屏提供了独特的书写体验，感觉就像在真实的纸上书写一样。4096级压感，让你的书写和绘画显得自然流畅。
我收到的测试包还包括Marker Plus手写笔，这只会增加纸质体验的感觉。
该平板电脑还拥有出色的硬件规格，例如 8 GB 内部存储空间，用于保存笔记、文档和电子书。它运行在名为Codex(Codex)的基于 Linux 的定制操作系统上，由 1.2 GHz双核ARM处理器和 1 GB LPDDR3 SDRAM提供支持，提供流畅且响应灵敏的性能。可充电电池每次充电可持续使用长达两周，确保持久使用而无需频繁充电。该设备支持PDF和ePUB文件格式，可以轻松访问各种文档和电子书。
在我们深入探讨平板电脑评测之前，让我们先看一下这款 reMarkable 平板电脑的完整技术规格列表：

虽然这款平板电脑的规格看起来令人印象深刻，而且一款可以让你保存手写笔记并将其转换为数字形式的无干扰平板电脑背后的想法也很有趣，但 reMarkable 2 的一个大问题是高昂的价格。要享受使用此桌子的完整体验，您至少
需要购买平板电脑本身、标记之一以及 Connect订阅、reMarkable 云服务。(Connect)
所有这些加起来大约 600 美元，您可以以这个价格买到功能更强大的平板电脑。然而，reMarkable 纸质平板电脑是一款独一无二的产品，这就是您所付出的代价。
使用这款平板电脑一个多月后，该设备兑现了它的承诺——一种不受干扰的
真实写作体验，将帮助您提高工作效率并为您的写作带来更多灵感。(writing experience)
设计与开箱
如果价格标签没有吓到您并且您还在这里，那么让我们继续讨论平板电脑的设计和整体外观。
reMarkable 2 平板电脑具有令人难以置信的轻薄设计，重量不到一磅。时尚的银白配色赋予其精致的外观，而第二代CANVAS显示屏的触感非常接近真实的纸张，提供流畅的书写体验。
盒子里有什么东西
以下是您打开 reMarkable 2 包装时在包装盒中找到的所有物品：
- ReMarkable 2.0 平板电脑
- USB A 转 USB C 电缆
- 快速入门指南
我的 reMarkable 2 附带了额外的配件（单独出售）：带有 9 个额外笔尖（或笔尖）的Marker Plus和带有隐藏键盘的Type Folio保护套。(Type Folio)虽然盖子是一个您可以跳过的配件，但记号笔(Marker)是 reMarkable 体验的重要组成部分，因为如果没有它，您将无法在平板电脑上实际书写或素描。您可以选择简单、便宜、不带内置橡皮擦的记号笔，或在结帐时选择带内置橡皮擦的
Marker Plus ，或者在网上寻找替代品。(Marker Plus)
该平板电脑配备 10.3 英寸单色数字纸显示屏。加上纸张般的表面摩擦力，确保您获得自然的书写体验。
该屏幕的分辨率为 1872 x 1404 像素和 226 DPI，为记笔记和阅读提供清晰锐利的视觉效果。显示屏在阳光下保持明亮且清晰可读，因此您不必担心白天在户外使用 reMarkable 平板电脑。由于有 21 毫秒的延迟，写入时也没有明显的延迟。
如果您像我一样是个夜猫子，您实际上会喜欢屏幕上没有色彩和没有蓝光，因为它可以减少其他数字设备中存在的
眼睛疲劳和干扰。(reduces eye strain)
在平板电脑的顶部，您会发现电源按钮被巧妙地放置在左上角。它与平板电脑左侧的银色条纹无缝融合，当我第一次打开盒子时，我花了一些时间才找到它。
USB-C 充电端口位于平板电脑机身的左下角，确保整洁的设计，最大限度地提高空间效率。
ReMarkable 2.0平板电脑(Tablet)采用智能设计元素，内部有磁铁，两侧都有磁铁。这些磁铁使平板电脑能够轻松卡入兼容的 ReMarkable 对开本并牢固地固定 ReMarkable 标记。
配件：reMarkable Type Folio和Marker Plus
我的 reMarkable 2 附带一个名为Type Folio 的(Type Folio)可选配件，颜色为华丽的棕褐(Sepia Brown)色。外部材料看起来和感觉起来都很昂贵。在功能方面，Type Folio是一种磁性附件，可将平板电脑转变为带有集成键盘的便捷书写工具。
平板电脑通过左下角的铜触点连接到Type Folio ，将平板电脑牢固地固定到位。(Type Folio)当像书一样打开时，reMarkable 2 位于左页，而键盘位于右页。这种设计可确保键盘在不使用时免受意外按下的影响。
Type Folio 的(Type Folio)底部边缘带有磁性支架，为平板电脑提供了稳定舒适的角度。全尺寸QWERTY字母键和空格键使打字更加方便。然而，由于空间有限，必须做出一些妥协。例如，没有专用的删除键，只有一个狭窄的退格按钮。尽管如此，我发现键盘使用起来可靠且舒适。
要设置Type Folio，您只需更新固件即可。连接到Type Folio后，reMarkable 2 会自动切换到横向，并且文本(Text)工具会识别连接的物理键盘，从而隐藏屏幕键盘。
不使用键盘时，您仍然可以使用平板电脑进行手写笔记或用作电子阅读器。只需(Just)打开盖子并隐藏键盘，平板电脑就会自动以书籍模式打开。
ReMarkable 2 的电子墨水(E Ink)显示屏对打字反应良好，可以跟上大多数打字速度，并提供快速的光标移动，以便轻松纠正拼写错误。尽管在显示重置期间屏幕可能会出现短暂的闪烁，但这对于电子墨水设备来说很常见，并且不会影响整体打字体验。
虽然Type Folio的价格可能较高（199 美元），但它与 ReMarkable 2 的无缝集成及其提供的增强的书写体验使其成为那些寻求专注且高效的书写工具的人的宝贵配件。
如果您已经拥有 ReMarkable 2 并希望将其功能扩展到笔记之外，那么 Type Folio(Type Folio)无疑是值得考虑的补充。或者，您可以选择reMarkable 的Book Folio封面，它不具有隐藏键盘，但价格也更便宜，为 129 美元。
另一个有价值的配件是Marker Plus，这是一款带有橡皮擦功能的升级版手写笔。Marker Plus(Marker Plus)通过磁性吸附在平板电脑上，并通过 4,096 级压力敏感度提供更精确的书写体验。其橡皮擦末端可以轻松快速地进行修正。
虽然Marker Plus不像Apple Pencil那样花哨，但感觉足够快并且适合 reMarkable 2。
该配件的唯一缺点是磁铁没有那么强，如果您不想丢失手写笔，在与 reMarkable 2 一起运输时必须留意手写笔。
性能与特点
reMarkable 2 平板电脑非常适合其主要用途，即记笔记。它不适用于应用程序、网页浏览或电子邮件，但这对我来说很好。与其他具有玻璃表面的平板电脑不同，在其上书写感觉很自然，就像笔在纸上一样。过去一个月我经常使用它，几乎每天晚上睡觉前都会用它写下随机的想法。这对我其他工作项目的灵感很有帮助。
电子墨水显示屏非常适合阅读，而且也很护眼，但没有背光，适合夜间阅读。电池续航时间令人印象深刻，正常使用情况下可持续长达 2 周。电子阅读器的功能很简单，可以选择调整字体大小和间距。
关于墨水功能，reMarkable 2 提供七种笔类型、荧光笔、三种线宽以及使用图层的选项。虽然这套工具可能不像 Onyx Boox 的笔记(Notes)应用程序那样广泛，其中包括 12 种灰度、录音、形状等，但它仍然足以在 reMarkable 2 上记录出色的笔记。
除了可供选择的笔样式（奇怪的是，包括不同的颜色，如黑色、灰色、白色、蓝色和红色）之外，您还可以选择不同的纸张样式和模板。
平板电脑具有搜索功能，您可以使用它来搜索上传的文档。但是，它不搜索手写文档，这是一个缺点。手写到文本的转换是我喜欢在 reMarkable 上使用的另一个很棒的功能。有时，记下您的想法然后将其转换为键入的文本会更快。遗憾的是该软件并不总是能正确识别和转换我的写作，但这是我可以忍受的。
手势导航也很直观，可以轻松翻页和组织笔记。
总的来说，reMarkable 2 是一款非常适合专注写作和阅读的小工具。虽然它可能不具备 iPad 或Kindle等其他平板电脑的所有功能，但它在作为笔记设备和电子阅读器的核心用途方面表现出色。
应用程序和连接
reMarkable 2 提供了进一步扩展其功能的桌面应用程序和增强其连接功能的Connect订阅。(Connect)通过此订阅，您可以访问类似于Dropbox或Google Drive 的(Google Drive)云存储选项，只不过它是 reMarkable 独有的。
Connect订阅允许您同步和备份您的文档和笔记，以及将Google Drive 、(Connect) Dropbox或(Dropbox)OneDrive添加(OneDrive)到您的 reMarkable。订阅价格为每月 2.99 美元，reMarkable 用户可免费试用 1 年。
该桌面应用程序与Windows(Windows)和 macOS 操作系统
兼容，可以方便地跨各种设备管理文件、文档和笔记。
通过桌面应用程序，您可以从计算机访问内容并进行更改，并将更改同步回平板电脑。我发现这对于需要我签名的PDF文档特别有用 - 现在我只需将它们传输到计算机上的 reMarkable 应用程序，使用平板电脑添加我的签名，然后在线导出和共享文档。
reMarkable Companion应用程序还适用于Android和 iOS 设备（例如 iPad 和 iPhone），提供与桌面应用程序类似的体验。您可以通过移动设备随时随地访问您的内容、查看、编辑和共享您的作品。
Connect订阅和桌面应用程序为各种应用程序提供了可能性，例如使用平板电脑作为计划器或故事板来通过屏幕共享进行协作和共享您的工作
。(Connect)
尽管 reMarkable 2 没有内置网络浏览器，但其连接选项和配套应用程序可以在不同设备上提供高效的笔记记录和笔记共享体验。
电池寿命
reMarkable 2 配备 3000mAh 电池，提供良好的电池续航时间，一次充电可持续使用长达 2 周。
它效率很高，可以使用几天而不需要充电。保持Wi-Fi开启可能会更快地耗尽电池电量，但总体而言，电池性能可靠且持久。
您应该购买 ReMarkable 2.0平板电脑(Tablet)吗？
对于那些寻求无干扰的笔记和阅读体验的人来说，ReMarkable 2 是一款完美的设备。学生、学者、创意专业人士，尤其是作家将从其功能中受益最多。
但是，如果您需要广泛的应用程序支持、多媒体功能，或者您正在寻找预算选项，那么这款平板电脑可能不是最适合您的。
ReMarkable 2.0 Tablet with Type Folio Keyboard Review
If you love writing and are looking for authentic wrіting exрerience, you’ve probably come across reMarkable before. ReMarkable 2.0 is the latest tablet produced by the company that promises a unique dеvice for writing and drawing digitally.
Unlike other tablets, it feels like you’re writing on real paper. It has a stylish design, a long-lasting battery, and no distractions, making it perfect for students, professionals, and creatives. In this reMarkable 2 review, we’ll have a closer look at this device and see if this e-ink tablet can replace your e-reader or tablet.
ReMarkable 2.0 Tablet: First Impressions & Specs
The reMarkable 2.0 is a note-taking tablet that provides a truly remarkable first impression with its sleek and stylish design. As soon as I held it, I noticed how thin and lightweight it was, measuring only 4.7 mm in thickness and 403.5g in weight. This tablet is easy to carry around and use on the go, and I have to admit I’ve been carrying it with me almost everywhere I go since day one.
The tablet’s paper-like e-ink display offers a unique writing experience, feeling just like writing on real paper, thanks to its second-generation CANVAS display technology. With 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, your writing and drawing will appear natural and smooth.
The package I received for testing also included the Marker Plus stylus, which only adds to the feeling of a paper-like experience.
The tablet also boasts remarkable hardware specs, such as 8 GB of internal storage for saving your notes, documents, and ebooks. It runs on a custom Linux-based OS called Codex, powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM processor and 1 GB LPDDR3 SDRAM, providing smooth and responsive performance. The rechargeable battery can last up to two weeks between charges, ensuring long-lasting usage without frequent charging. The device supports PDF and ePUB file formats, enabling easy access to various documents and ebooks.
Before we dive into this tablet review, let’s have a look at the full list of tech specifications of this reMarkable tablet:
- Size: 7.4 x 9.7 x 0.19 in (188.0 x 246 x 4.7 mm)
- Weight: 0.88 lb (403.5 g)
- Thickness: 0.19 in (4.7 mm)
- Display: 10.3″ monochrome digital paper display (no colors), 1872 x 1404 resolution (226 DPI)
- Storage: 8 GB internal storage
- Menu language: English only
- Operating system: Codex, a custom Linux-based OS
- RAM: 1 GB LPDDR3 SDRAM
- Processor: 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM
- Supported file formats: PDF and non-DRM ePUB
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and 5GHz, USB-C charging port, Accessory port
- Battery: 3000mAh rechargeable battery, up to 2 weeks between charges
- Price: $349 on the official website for reMarkable 2 tablet only, or from $579 on Amazon with a 12-month Connect subscription and Marker Plus stylus.
While the tablet’s specs look impressive, and the idea behind a distraction-free tablet where you can keep your handwritten notes and transform them into a digital form is intriguing, one big problem reMarkable 2 has is the hefty price tag. To enjoy the full experience of using this table, you’ll need to purchase the tablet itself, one of the markers, and the Connect subscription, the reMarkable cloud service, at the very least.
All that adds up to around $600, and you can get a much more powerful tablet for that price. However, the reMarkable paper tablet is a one-of-a-kind product, and that’s what you’re paying for.
Having used this tablet for over a month, this device delivers what it promises – an authentic writing experience with no distractions that will help you boost your productivity and bring more inspiration into your writing.
Design and Unpacking
If the price tag doesn’t scare you and you’re still here, let’s move on to the design and overall look of the tablet.
The reMarkable 2 tablet has an incredibly thin and lightweight design and weighs less than a pound. Its sleek silver and white color combination gives it a refined appearance, while the second-generation CANVAS display feels really close to actual paper, offering a smooth writing experience.
What’s in the Box
Here’s everything you’ll find in the box while unpacking your reMarkable 2:
- ReMarkable 2.0 Tablet
- USB A to USB C cable
- Quick Start Guide
My reMarkable 2 came together with extra accessories (sold separately): the Marker Plus with a set of 9 additional tips (or nibs) and the Type Folio cover with a hidden keyboard. While the cover is an accessory that you can skip, the Marker is an essential part of the reMarkable experience, as you won’t be able to actually write or sketch on your tablet without it. You can choose a simple, cheaper marker with no built-in eraser or opt for the Marker Plus with a built-in eraser at checkout, or find an alternative online.
The tablet features a 10.3-inch monochrome digital paper display. Together with paper-like surface friction, it ensures you get a natural-feeling writing experience.
The screen has a resolution of 1872 x 1404 pixels and 226 DPI and delivers sharp and clear visuals for both note-taking and reading. The display stays bright and perfectly readable in sunlight, so you don’t have to worry about using your reMarkable tablet outdoors during the day. Thanks to the 21 ms of latency, there is also no noticeable lag when writing.
If you’re a night owl like myself, you’ll actually enjoy the lack of color on the screen and the lack of blue light, as it reduces eye strain and distractions present in your other digital devices.
On top of the tablet, you’ll find the power button placed discreetly in the top left corner. It seamlessly blends with the silver stripe that runs down the left side of the tablet, and it took me some time to find it when I first opened the box.
The USB-C charging port is located on the bottom left of the tablet’s body, ensuring a clutter-free design that maximizes space efficiency.
The ReMarkable 2.0 Tablet features a smart design element with magnets inside, running down both sides. These magnets allow the tablet to easily snap into compatible ReMarkable folios and securely hold the ReMarkable markers.
Accessories: reMarkable Type Folio & Marker Plus
My reMarkable 2 came with an optional accessory called the Type Folio in a gorgeous Sepia Brown color. The external material looks and feels expensive. Functionality-wise, Type Folio is a magnetic attachment that transforms the tablet into a handy writing tool with an integrated keyboard.
The tablet connects to the Type Folio through copper contacts in the lower left corner, securely holding the tablet in place. When opened like a book, the reMarkable 2 rests on the left page, while the keyboard sits on the right page. This design ensures that the keyboard remains protected from accidental presses when not in use.
Type Folio provides a stable and comfortable angle for the tablet with its magnetic rest for the bottom edge. The full-sized QWERTY letter keys and the space bar make typing convenient. However, due to limited space, some compromises had to be made. For instance, there is no dedicated delete key, only a narrow backspace button. Despite that, I find the keyboard reliable and comfortable to use.
To set up your Type Folio, all you have to do is update the firmware. Once connected to the Type Folio, the reMarkable 2 switches to landscape orientation automatically, and the Text tool recognizes the attached physical keyboard, hiding the on-screen keyboard.
When not using the keyboard, you can still use the tablet for handwritten note-taking or as an e-reader. Just open the cover and keep the keyboard hidden, and the tablet will automatically open in book mode.
The E Ink display of the ReMarkable 2 responds well to typing, keeping up with most typing speeds and offering quick cursor movement for easy typo corrections. Although the screen may experience brief flickering during display resets, this is common for e-Ink devices and doesn’t impact the overall typing experience.
While the Type Folio may come with a higher price tag ($199), its seamless integration with the ReMarkable 2 and the enhanced writing experience it offers make it a valuable accessory for those looking for a focused and productive writing tool.
If you already own a ReMarkable 2 and wish to expand its functionality beyond note-taking, the Type Folio is certainly a worthy addition to consider. Alternatively, you can opt for the Book Folio cover by reMarkable, which doesn’t feature the hidden keyboard but is also cheaper at $129.
Another valuable accessory is the Marker Plus, an upgraded stylus with an eraser function. The Marker Plus attaches magnetically to the tablet and offers a more precise writing experience with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. Its eraser end allows for easy and quick corrections.
While Marker Plus isn’t as fancy as Apple Pencil, it feels fast enough and is suitable for the reMarkable 2.
The only downside of this accessory is that the magnets aren’t that strong, and you have to keep an eye on your stylus when transporting it with your reMarkable 2 if you don’t want to lose it.
Performance & Features
The reMarkable 2 tablet is excellent for its main purpose, which is note-taking. It’s not meant for apps, web browsing, or email, and that’s just fine for me. Writing on it feels natural, like pen on paper, unlike other tablets with glass surfaces. I’ve been using it a lot in the past month and use it almost every night to write down random thoughts before I go to sleep. This helped me a lot with inspiration for my other work projects.
The e-ink display is wonderful for reading and easy on the eyes, but there’s no backlight for nighttime reading. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 2 weeks with regular use. The e-reader function is straightforward, with options to adjust font size and spacing.
Regarding the inking features, the reMarkable 2 offers seven pen types, a highlighter, three line widths, and the option to work with layers. While this set of tools may not be as extensive as what you find in Onyx Boox’s Notes app, which includes 12 shades of gray, audio recording, shapes, and more, it is still sufficient for taking excellent notes on the reMarkable 2.
Aside from the pen styles to choose from (including, curiously, different colors, like black, gray, white, blue, and red), you can also choose from different paper styles and templates.
The tablet has a search feature that you can use to search your uploaded documents. However, it doesn’t search handwritten documents, which is a bit of a downside. The handwriting-to-text conversion is another great feature that I enjoy using on my reMarkable. Sometimes it’s faster to jot down your thoughts and then convert them into typed text. It’s a shame the software doesn’t always recognize and convert my writing correctly, but that’s something I can live with.
The gesture navigation is also intuitive, allowing easy page turning and note organization.
Overall, the reMarkable 2 is a great gadget for focused writing and reading. While it may not have all the features of other tablets like the iPad or Kindle, it excels in its core purpose as a note-taking device and e-reader.
App and Connectivity
The reMarkable 2 provides a desktop app that further expands its functionality and a Connect subscription, which enhances its connectivity capabilities. With this subscription, you gain access to a cloud storage option similar to Dropbox or Google Drive, only it’s exclusive to reMarkable.
The Connect subscription allows you to sync and back up your documents and notes, as well as add Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to your reMarkable. The subscription price is $2.99 per month, with a 1-year free trial for reMarkable owners.
The desktop app is compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems, making it convenient to manage your files, documents, and notes across various devices.
With the desktop app, you can access your content from your computer and make changes that sync back to the tablet. I found this especially useful for PDF documents that require my signature – now I simply transfer them to the reMarkable app on the computer, use the tablet to add my signature, then export and share the documents online.
The reMarkable Companion app is also available for Android and iOS devices like iPad and iPhone, offering a similar experience to the desktop app. You can access your content on the go, review it, edit, and share your work from your mobile device.
The Connect subscription and desktop app open up possibilities for various applications, like using the tablet as a planner or storyboard to collaborate and share your work through screen sharing.
Although the reMarkable 2 does not have a built-in web browser, its connectivity options and companion app allow for an efficient note-taking and note-sharing experience across different devices.
Battery Life
With the 3000mAh battery, the reMarkable 2 provides a good battery life, lasting up to 2 weeks on a single charge.
It’s efficient and can be used for several days without needing to recharge. Leaving the Wi-Fi on may drain the battery a bit faster, but overall, the battery performance is reliable and long-lasting.
Should You Buy the ReMarkable 2.0 Tablet?
The ReMarkable 2 is a perfect device for those who seek a distraction-free note-taking and reading experience. Students, academics, creative professionals, and especially writers will benefit most from its features.
However, if you need extensive app support, multimedia features, or if you’re looking for a budget option, this tablet may not be the best fit for you.
