reMarkable Paper Pro

Hands on: The ReMarkable Paper Pro looks and feels like a premium e-paper tablet for writers, and the new backlight and added colors make it more fun and more usable than its predecessors. It's also faster than the old ReMarkable 2—but there's still enough lag to drag down the experience.

I came away not all that impressed with the color of the screen or the dim front light, but the minimal gap between the tip of the pen and the surface of the "paper" and the reduced input latency do make a small but noticeable difference compared to the reMarkable 2 or the Kindle Scribe. Mostly, I just find myself hoping these same benefits can make their way into less-expensive E Ink tablets before too long.

The reMarkable Paper Pro sticks to its roots with a tablet that’s all about writing. It’s aggressively simple and proudly so, offering a unique experience for those who appreciate the feel of pen on paper. With its new color display and front light, it’s taken a significant step forward, making it even easier to use in more places. If you want a device that owns you and your focus, the reMarkable Paper Pro might just be the perfect fit.
