For the first time — ever — I talked notetaking with someone face to face, not online.

At a recent event two women were using the reMarkable 2 for their meeting notes. I was intrigued. I’d been interested in the reMarkable for a while. Not long ago, Chris heard about them and asked why I didn’t have one as he was sure I would love it!

The two women mentioned how much their productivity had increased since using the reMarkable 2. Paid for by their employer, they used the reMarkable for taking notes and converting them to text later.

I had a quick scribble but not long enough to make an informed decision.

How much does a reMarkable cost?

The reMarkable starts at £299. (Refurbished devices are £279).

A Marker is £59. A Marker Plus costs £109 — this has a built in eraser.

The cheapest folio is £69. A focused typing folio is £179.

reMarkable 2: £299
Marker Plus: £109
Folio: £69

Total: £477

This was way outside my budget. reMarkable also requires a cloud storage and sync subscription, Connect, which costs £2.99 a month.

Is there an alternative?
