This is really great timing. I ordered mine a few months ago and am part of the "Batch 8" shipping. I just got the notification today that mine is about to ship.
So did I. That can't be a coincidence ;)

#62I've thought about getting one of these. Even though I type about as fast as I write, I think better when I write in a notebook with drawings to organize my ideas. Can anyone who has one tell me how accurate the handwriting recognition is? And how responsive is the pen-tablet interface? Does it actually feel like writing on paper (responsiveness-wise)?
The handwriting is pretty good, but tied to a language you pick, which can be annoying if like me you write/think in some messy mix of French/English.
It results in the words from the language picked to be pretty well recognized, but the words from the 'other' language being mapped to similar words from the picked language quite a lot.
For exemple, me writing 'Quelle horreur !' is recognised well if I pick French, but as 'Quelle horror!' in english.

There should be a video available soon that you can follow along with soon. I'll make sure this comment is replied to with a link when it's up.
Here is the said video https://video.benetou.fr/videos/watch/d337b99a-dc9c-4f9e-884... , the audio is too low for few minutes then it gets fixed!
Thanks!

#65A week ago I received Remarkable 2. One of the best device that lets me focus instead of getting distracted. Great tool for thinking, meeting notes, etc.
People hate when you type notes during 1:1, but love when you take handwritten notes and remember previous conversations.

FWIW, the battery life is surprisingly short. I guess it's the Wacom digitiser broadcasting RF all the time.
> I guess it's the Wacom digitiser broadcasting RF all the time. Great, it has expensive royalties and it betrays the user.
Short range analog RF signal to detect where the pen is, not something containing digital information. Your toothbrush motor and charger probably has comparable level of RF radiation come out.

#67Does anyone know if it's possible to use a ReMarkable tablet as an external laptop monitor? In the summer I like to sit outside coding, but the sunlight outshines my laptops LCD display. So I'd like to use an eInk display as an external monitor. And I gather ReMarkable is the best bet because of their hackability.
For monitor you need high refresh rate. Dasung monitors are the only option right now. My only regret with dasung monitor is that I didn't buy is sooner. I can work long hours now without my eyes getting tired.

Unfortunately, it's not a genuine eink display but a rebranding of Qi hybrid LCD that was made popular in the OLPC. Just look at the announced resolution in dpi in b&w vs color, and you'll see they use a LCD mask in front. If you want both color and eink, it's better to get a dual screen, like a Lenovo C930 book: use the screen clone mode and just turn off the color screen when you don't need it. This can also gives…
This an interesting option I never considered. Somehow, I wasn't aware of the C930 book. It looks like it's been discontinued, but there are still many being sold. I've also toyed with the idea of purchasing an old Surface Pro 3 because of the price and the ability to run a full Linux distro—though obviously, I lose all the benefits of e-ink with this option.
I just looked at it. I feel like I would have much preferred they put the e-Ink on the back side of the LCD screen instead of replacing the keyboard. It's really hard to use a non-tactile keyboard for any productivity.

This hasn't been my experience; I've been using it fairly actively for the past week and have worked it down only to 30% charge.
I have been a bit disappointed as well, something like a couple of days to get to 50% battery. I do use it pretty heavily though, pretty much taking notes all day and reading an hour of two as well

The handwriting recognition seems OK for print, but not great when I write in cursive. The pen-tablet interface is very responsive --- I'd really like to know how they managed to get the refresh so quick with an e-ink display, actually. Apart from the texture, it's just as quick as writing on paper: I can't detect any latency.
Do you have the RM1 or the new RM2? apparently the input lag on the RM2 is very low.
