Don’t underestimate a good screen and excellent design
If you do decide to buy a reMarkable 2, you’ll get a slim tablet with a 10.3-inch E Ink display, a paper-textured front display, and low-latency stylus support so that writing feels as close to using a normal pen and notebook as possible. The reMarkable 2 doesn’t feature the color E Ink display of areMarkable Paper Pro, and can’t run apps like aniPad, but you can doa surprising amount of thingswith this tablet if you’re willing to do some workto port your files over.
The Marker Plus stylus included in the bundle also means you don’t have to go digging through menus to find your eraser. Just flipping the stylus over and rubbing it on the reMarkable 2’s screen will erase whatever is on there. The Book Folio case is less functional – it won’t automatically wake up the tablet’s display or put it to sleep – but still offers protection, and you can apply the same discount to the leather version of the Folio case. If you order from reMarkable, you can add an extra $19 off to the deal, too.
reMarkable 2 Bundle with Leather Folio
Like the other reMarkable 2 bundle, you’ll get the E Ink tablet and a stylus with a built-in eraser, except this time the Book Folio case is made from a premium leather.
reMarkable 2 Bundle with Type Folio
The reMarkable 2 Bundle with Type Folio gets you an E Ink tablet, a Type Folio case with a built-in keyboard, and a Marker Plus stylus with a built-in eraser.
If you’re willing to pay a bit more, the version of the reMarkable bundle with a Type Folio case will make the tablet even more functional. The case offers the same level of protection as the Book Folio, but with a built-in stand and keyboard so that you can type on the reMarkable 2. With the tablet’s built-in support for converting handwriting to typed text, it makes for a great way to take notes or a written outline to a first draft and beyond. The keyboard is a little cramped, but it feels close to what you’d get from your laptop in terms of clickiness and key travel. If you’re at all interested in trying an E Ink device for work, it’s hard to go wrong with this deal.
