Back in 2020 reMarkable 2 was a good alternative to the iPad for people who write a lot. A couple of years later Amazon Kindle Scribe took the e-reader market by surprise with its premium reading and writing experience. Now the Norway-based company has released the reMarkable Paper Pro to capture the market share back from Amazon.
Touted as the world’s thinnest color paper tablet, the low-glare 11.8-inch display of the gadget is tailored for a pen-on-paper-like writing experience to help knowledge workers capture, refine, and elevate their thoughts in a world full of distractions. According to Phil Hess, CEO of reMarkable, “We’ve built upon the success of reMarkable 2 to create a device that offers the best writing and reading experience ever on a paper tablet.”
Designer: reMarkable
Inspired by the form of a stack of blank paper sheets, the tablet is 5.1 mm thin and doesn’t compromise on the battery as it lasts a couple of weeks on a single charge. This is the first ever reMarkable tablet to read and write in color, made possible by the new custom-developed Canvas Color display stack. The users will now have the option to write notes, sign documents, annotate PDFs, or mark up notes in a wide range of colors. The writing experience is honed by the reduced latency of 12ms when the stylus hits the screen and the corresponding input is registered. The e-reader is free from any distracting apps and is strictly meant for people who love reading and writing without any frills.
The e-paper slate comes with a stylus, or can also be connected to a wireless keyboard. The size of the bezels on this version has been reduced, the edge band is sharper and the chin sleekly hugs the display making it a treat to hold – just like a sheaf of paper. Made from anodized aluminum and glass it is lightweight and has a lot of grip to hold while lying down or while walking in a rush. The included backlight on the display makes the E-reader ideal for nighttime reading and is gentle enough on the eyes. Even on maximum brightness levels, it doesn’t induce eyestrain.
On the inside, the tablet is powered by a new 1.8Ghz quad-core Cortex A53 processor mated to 2GB RAM and 64GB storage. That’s almost twice as powerful as the previous model. Overall the gadget gives or more reasons than not to go for the investment priced at $579 with the standard Marker. For the Marker Plus version, you’ll have to shell out $629. reMarkable Paper Pro can be ordered right now and orders will be fulfilled within 10-21 business days.
