Hi! I want to buy the remarkable for my wife. She takes a lot of notes (handwritten) and then need to put these into an online secured platform (she’s a psychologist). She’s already an Apple user (laptop and phone) and thinks it would be an easier process to go with the Ipad.
I’ve only heard great things about Remarkable, but she does have a point: she’s already (locked) with Apple products. It’s a plug and play environment. The marketing stuff from Remarkable seems to focus on the lack of distractions (ok… ). That’s not convincing her. I think the “paper feel” and handwritten-to-text are the best-known selling points, but it’s hard to understand if you can’t try one in a store.
What am I missing? Should she really go with Apple (again)?
Thanks!
Listen, I love my iPad Pro, and I am also fully ensconced in the Apple ecosystem, but I use and love my remarkable. Your brain works differently when using it for notes and using it for brainstorming, design, scribbling ideas… it’s really a different experience.
This. I own every Apple product except their lights and I also have a remarkable. It’s a game changer.
This, 100%.
Moreover, the feeling on the iPad for writing is not good, and it needs a few upgrades (Paperlike screen protector, maybe Paperlike Apple Pencil grip, to make long-time use more comfortable) which is another $60 on top.
