It’s reMarkable

I’ve been using the new reMarkable 2 tablet for a few weeks now, and it’s been a nice addition to my workflow. If you’re not familiar with it, here’s a quick video that shows what it’s about.

As you can see in the video, it’s a paper-like replacement on a very focused device. It has wi-fi to sync your notes, but that’s it. No calendar, no email, no apps, no notifications. If you want to focus, it’s perfect.

For me, I find it excellent in three situations.

Some Meeting Notes

For a lot of meetings with clients, having my laptop in front of me is ideal. I can be taking shared notes with colleagues, looking up examples, sharing slides, etc. In some cases, though, a laptop isn’t really appropriate and the reMarkable is a better way to jot down notes.

This ties in more frequently for things like business luncheons, where no one has a laptop and it would be way out of place. The reMarkable gives me an easy way to jot down notes, and they’ll sync to the cloud automatically so I can process them when I get back to my desk.
