What reviewers say about the reMarkable Paper Pro
Three whitelisted testers agree the Paper Pro delivers a best-in-class, near-lag-free writing experience with a useful color E Ink screen and welcome backlight, but is expensive and deliberately does little else. Notebookcheck lab-measured a very dim 4 cd/m² light and ~20h idle battery; TechRadar and Engadget tested hands-on. Non-whitelist Gizmodo/CNN excluded.

Where reviewers disagree Testers split on the verdict: Engadget scored it 90/100 and 'best-in-class,' while TechRadar was more frustrated (Software score 2/5) and called the dim light 'a meager candle'; Notebookcheck judged the same 4 cd/m² backlight nonetheless enough 'to be able to read the display in dark environments without any problems.'
The sources (3)
Max screen brightness (X-Rite i1Pro 2 spectrophotometer): 4 cd/m² · Battery runtime, idle (min brightness, Wi-Fi off): 19h 58min · Battery runtime under load: 4.6 h · Avg power consumption at max brightness: 6.7 W · Max surface temperature under load: 27.9 °C · Greyscale dE2000: 9.9
the input pens offer very precise experience, the response time of the screen is fast and there is a comprehensive selection of different writing and drawing tools, which can also be adjusted.
in our test with the spectrophotometer we measured a maximum brightness of around 4 cd/m². This is very low when you look at comparable e-ink readers.
there is no camera, no speakers, no option to add new functions via apps, and no web browser.
There's no perceptible lag between the pen and the ePaper. Writing feels like writing, as it should.
Excellent battery life, lasts two weeks on a charge with casual daily use.
Navigating the reMarkable Paper Pro, though, feels like a serious drag. Swiping to the next page often took multiple swipes.
reMarkable adds a color screen to its e-paper tablet, creating a best-in-class distraction-free writing experience.
The end result is a display with visible, if muted, color reproduction with some limitations you'll need to work around.
I cannot pretend that it's not a pricey piece of kit, especially when you bundle in the Type Folio.

Source: remarkable.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by ewritable.net. The official reMarkable shop page (source) lists "reMarkable Paper Pro ... From $629 ... Marker included," confirms the 11.8" Canvas Color display and adjustable reading light, and identifies it as the largest "Paper Pro" model — distinct from the 10.3" black-and-white Paper Pure and the smaller Paper Pro Move (model-identity check passed). The eWritable review (corroboration, published Oct 9 2024) confirms the same model: 11.8" Gallery3 color panel, "229PPI ... for monochrome," "64Gb of storage," release year 2024, and an independent launch price "Starting at $579." Battery life in weeks and a warm/color-temperature reading light were not stated for the Pro on either cited page (the reviewer measured ~2.6 days and disputes the marketing claim), so both are left null.
