It's recommended for those who prefer a slower, more intentional interaction with their thoughts. The script also touches on the benefits of using the Remarkable 2 over traditional notebooks, such as cloud backup, digital organization, and the convenience of having all notes in one place.

The Amazon Kindle Scribe is highlighted for its superior hardware, including a higher pixel density and front light, but criticized for its incomplete software and difficulty in transferring notes. The 'books' competitor is described as an Android tablet with an E Ink screen, offering broad utility but lacking the focused writing experience of the Remarkable. Supernote's A6 X2 is praised for its screen and software, but the narrator finds the device size unsuitable for their needs. The paragraph also discusses rumors of a new 12-inch color Remarkable, which may not be a direct replacement for the current model due to the trade-offs associated with color E Ink displays.

Transcripts
so you're looking into the remarkable
two it's a great device but the
recommendation is quite a bit more
complicated than when it first came out
there are a number of competitors who
are doing cool things like Amazon books
and supernote and also the device itself
is getting up there in age and a
remarkable three could be just around
the corner so should you buy a
remarkable 2 in
20124 well have a seat and I'll give you
my thoughts on the current state of the
remarkable and stick around to the end
to see if I would buy another one if
mine were lost or broken so let's start
first with who should buy a remarkable
to begin with and this may be a bit of a
controversial point but it's not for
everyone I would consider this device
primarily a creation device it's called
a tablet but the remarkable has more in
common with a pen and paper than an iPad
comparing those two devices you may want
to zoom out a bit and rethink your
approach the iPad can technically do
everything that the remarkable can and
many things that it can't but when it
comes to writing the remarkables like
Kendrick and the iPads like Drake the
remarkable is good at writing and the
iPad isn't yeah I went there if you're
looking to slow down be more intentional
and spend more time with your thoughts
then go with the remarkable otherwise
the iPad is probably closer to what
you're looking for so what about those
people who already carry traditional
notebooks well if that's you then I
think this is an easy recommend and in
my opinion a huge upgrade for years I
used Molin and baron fig notebooks and I
don't miss them one bit so let me tell
you a little bit about why first of all
you have backups you no longer need to
worry about losing a notebook if I
forget it at a coffee shop or my
backpack gets stolen I'm not a device
but I still have all of my thoughts and
ideas because they're backed up to the
cloud also my notes no longer get
smudged or stained from food or coffee
whenever I look back at my old notebooks
especially those from the startup days
they're all smudged and have coffee
stains everywhere turns out I was a huge
slob the other nice thing is I have
everything all in one place this device
is extremely convenient because if I
have this one thing I have all of my
notebooks and they don't get heavier
over time with my paper notebooks I went
through a few a year and I only carried
the one I was actively writing in with
me so if I ever needed to refer back to
something from like 6 months ago I had
to Hope I had that notebook with the
remarkable not only do you have all of
your content with you at all times you
can also flip through them in full
detail on the remarkable app from your
computer or phone I find this is a much
better way to review my past writing
than flipping through it on the device
itself not to mention it's also easier
to share with others the other thing I
love about iink is that you can have the
freedom of whatever organization you
want if you want to have a dedicated
notebook for every area of your life go
for it if you end up not liking that
organization you can switch it easily
there's no more ripping out Pages or
wishing you were using a three- ring
binder you just move the page with a
handful of TAPS so what about the
competitors up to this point just about
every benefit I've mentioned about the
remarkable is a general benefit of using
an eink tablet when the markable 2 first
jumped on the scene for the most part
they were the only player in town and so
recommending a remarkable was easy
because there was nothing else nowadays
there are three other compe s that you
should probably be aware of Amazon books
and supernote let me give you a quick
synopsis of those devices and while you
might prefer one of those over the
remarkable let's start with the newest
competitor which is Amazon yes Amazon
has been in the eink space for a long
time but the Kindle scribe is their
first foray into a tablet that you can
write on the hardware on this device is
excellent it has a better screen than
the remarkable it's 300 pixels per inch
versus the 227 on the remarkable and
it's equally wellb built it also has a
front light which can be really handy if
you want to use this device from the
comfort of your bed or couch so what's
the catch well the software on the
Kindle scribe just isn't quite there it
feels incomplete and it's a pain to get
notes off of the device and I just find
that I'm more focused and productive
with the remarkable next up is books
which takes a fundamentally different
approach instead of being a focused
writing device this is an Android tablet
that just so happens to have an eink
screen it has access to the Google Play
Store and you can install anything you'd
want which has excellent utility but
it's more like an iPad with a low
refresh screen than a paper tablet if
you need access to apps other than
reading and writing then books is worth
taking a look at similarly to the Kindle
it also has a front light but also like
that device I don't find that I'm as
focused and productive when using it the
last competitor that you should be aware
of of is supernote they recently
released the A6 X2 which is a slightly
smaller device than the remarkable but
has great promise it also has a better
screen than the remarkable but like the
remarkable does not have a front light
the supernote is excellent I find it
very focused the software is great and
if you like the look and feel of it then
it's definitely worth taking a serious
look in my specific scenario the A6 X2
is a little small it's about a third
smaller than the remarkable 2
but supernote is planning to release a
new model the A5 X2 towards the end of
2024 at which point I think remarkable
has a serious competitor that they
should worry about enough with
competitors we've taken a look at those
what about remarkable biggest competitor
themselves the remarkable 2 originally
released in August of 2020 it's almost
four years ago at this point I think it
makes sense to expect that a new
remarkable is coming at some point in
the future but if we take a look at the
most recent rumors it may not be quite
as eminent as it appears on the surface
the latest rumors we've seen indicate
that remarkable is planning to release a
new 12in color remarkable at some point
in 2024 or 2025 the timing on that isn't
clear if these rumors are true then this
would mean that this isn't a direct
replacement to the remarkable to this
would be a different device targeted at
a slightly different user it would be a
larger device that's slightly less
portable and more importantly introduces
color if it uses a k color EC display
like those currently available that
would mean some pretty significant
tradeoffs with Koo displays I find that
the quality of the black and white image
suffers from the addition of the other
three colors and the color filtering
layer is necessary to produce the colors
that you're expecting if your primary
use case is writing sketching journaling
anything that's predominantly simple
black and white notes I don't think this
device is going to be a perfect fit
based on that I don't actually expect
this device to replace the remarkable 2
I think the remarkable 2 will likely
remain and this will be added as a
higher end option perhaps a remarkable
Pro in that case the lifespan of the
remarkable 2 actually isn't being
shortened as they intend to continue
selling and supporting it so on to the
key question for today would I Reby a
remarkable two in in
2024 yes I would I have a number of eink
tablets here around the house and I've
used each of them extensively and every
time I end up coming back to the
remarkable when it's time to sketch
designs or focus and think deeply for me
that's the most valuable aspect of an
eing tablet at least as of the time of
this recording the remarkable 2 is still
the device that helps me to get into
Flow State and stay there the best
hey everyone that's it for this one

tips to help improve your focus and
creativity and if you'd like to support
