I hope R3 gets released so this goes on sale, want it but the price is oof.
When I looked at it a few months ago: "$279? That's not too bad.. oh wait, that's for refurb. $299 new. Okay, still good. Wait what.. $129 for the pen , too? Hang on... $179 for the cover/case?!" Talk about nickle and diming you.
Myself and couple of friends have been considering it, but dropped due to aggressive and ridiculous "marketing" tactics. Perhaps it's a fine device, but no thanks. Good luck with subscription for connection. Settled with Huawei MatePad Paper and couldn't be happier.
Have you tried using a wireless keyboard with it? I was sort of considering getting one and using emacs through tmux. To do light programming and writing I feel the latency should be tolerable. Though I worry about how much the screen flickers/refreshes I'm using a Moaan Mix 7 and the constant screen refresh makes anything that's not entirely static a bit or a pain to look at. (Even a small "loading" spinner on scree…
They seem to use dynamic screen updates which adjusts to content, not sure how it will work in your case.
I case youtube quite alright on it, however I may not call it pleasurable, if that helps.
if not, any other device that support this ^?
A wonderful product ruined by a proprietary cloud. The problem with the latter was very promptly proven by the unilateral imposition of a subscription. The product is useless without its cloud.

reMarkable 2 is a scam. Not only the storage is so extremely limited, the team knows it and it is heavily reliant on you paying for a subscription for more storage. That and on top of the sneaky price increases as you purchase the product tells you that it is a great scam. The the full price of a new reMarkable 2 is $450 - $550+. The features doesn't justify the price at all, making it an overpriced scam. You might a…
I guess if you needed to work with a large number of media rich pdf, it could become a problem. But there are solutions. Either officially supported - dropbox et al. integration, or you can just ssh into the device and set up a syncing scheme of your liking.
So I really cannot image what are you talking about.

I have an Onyx Boox e-ink writing device. While it also has a cloud service, it seems to be less necessary since it is just Android so you can just install whatever you need on it. I use Syncthing for this and it works fine.
How is the writing/drawing latency in practice? I watched some videos comparing the Remarkable 2, Supernote a5, and Boox Note 2. From the video it looked like the Boox had a bad delay. Could appear worse because of the backlight which increases distance from pen to screen. The Supernote and Remarkable also had visible delay that would annoy me, but the larger delay of the Boox looked like a deal breaker to me.

MDM We want to be able to restrict what gets synced to where. (eg, not dropbox or box or google etc) We want to enforce passwords and screen time outs. We'd prefer to use intune to do this but are open to other possibilities etc etc None of this is possible and remarkable don't seem interested in this.
The point is that you can't do this with notebooks though, seems silly to want to do this here, with maybe the exception of blocking sync services you can't monitor. Which is totally possible with a bit of competence.

Yah HN is gamed big time. Must be easy to get stuff to the front page.
