## What reviewers say

Three whitelisted hands-on reviews (Engadget, Tom's Guide, TechRadar) agree the reMarkable 2 delivers the best paper-like writing and sketching experience on E Ink, in a gorgeous ultra-thin aluminum body. All three flag the same catch: a high price for a single-purpose device with limited e-reader features and no apps. (Based on 3 reviews, 1 lab-tested, 2020-08-27–2024-05-08.)

Praised: Best-in-class paper-like writing and sketching experience on E Ink; Gorgeous, ultra-thin aluminum design (the 'world's thinnest tablet'); Handwriting-to-text conversion.
Flagged: High price for a single-purpose device; Limited as an e-reader; only PDF/ePUB support, no apps; No frontlight, so hard to use in the dark; Hardware upgrade yields negligible real-world performance gain vs original.
Disagreement: Engadget, testing a pre-production unit as a self-described 'frenzied note-taker,' felt the faster screen and Marker 'didn't feel appreciably better' for short strokes and doubted the new textured layer was more paper-like than the original; Tom's Guide and TechRadar, testing shipping firmware years later, instead praise fast, natural pen input as best-in-class.
