That looks awesome. How's the file management with it? In terms of reviewing notes from days or weeks gone by, managing marked up slides, etc?

Can you report back your impressions? I'm still not quite convinced of how good it is at replicating the pencil to paper experience, but as someone who needs to write everything down to really remember it, this would be a Godsend to stay organized digitally.

A friend was looking into getting one of those and asked me to do a bit of research for her and based on the reviews I've read, it sounds like the only benefit of it is that it just feels like paper

- if you write fast on it, you'll notice there's a bit of a lag from when you write with the pen and when the ink catches up. If you don't write fast, you might not notice as much.

- one review I read says the writing to text translation wasn't always accurate so you might have to go back and edit what the text says after and the translation can take a while. One review said the writing to text translation took 8 minutes per page for him.

- battery life is about 2 weeks on a single charge so that's pretty good.

- if you're reading ebooks on it, there's a definite delay when you're changing pages and it only supports PDFs and epub ebook format

- It's kind of expensive for what little it does. One guy pointed out you could buy a regular tablet for the same price and tablets are faster and you can still use it for movies and internet. It just doesn't feel like paper.

That said, reviews say it's a big step up from the remarkable 1, so maybe future versions will be a lot better

I dont have it, but from what I've read this is mostly accurate.

I haven't heard many people I know that have them complain about the speed of the writing on the RM2. One thing people don't discuss is security. If I leave this in a cab or something, I'll be much less concerned than if I leave a notebook.

It is expensive for a unitasker, but if it unlocks some level of productivity (which I am expecting for me), then it's a bargain.

You can get screen protectors that are like paper. I put one in my trucks screen cause they don’t get finger prints like a bare screen.

Yeah I had considered those too, but based on the reviews I've read they're not really all that good or at least the ones that claim to be "paper-like" aren't any different than regular matte screen protectors.

Truck screen protector sounds awesome

Just amazon "paper like" screen protector for ipad, i cut one down to fit my screen because at the time they didn't make one specific. I used one of those paper chopper guillotine's so it was nice and straight though.

Joke's on you, mate. Asians have been selling cheap shit like rednecks for decades and made a lot of money too!

I bought a surface book thinking that the detachable screen and pen would let me go from writing everything down in an notebook to keeping them on my computer and attaching them to job files. I gave it a solid year effort but just couldn't get into a digital note taking format. I've abandoned one drive and gone back to notebooks. I can remember what pages look like and there is something satisfying of flipping back or through pages quickly and easily that I was really missing by trying to go digital. Of course, YMMV.

Found a decently price sit stand desk frame that is big enough to accompany my desk, it's only single motor but whatever, can press a button then do something else for a minute
