I had an RM2 it was great, love that writing texture feel and how you can program it yourself too that's nice. I never subscribed with mine or even connected it to WiFi. I'm still unsure if I will get one again as I think I would just use something like a Surface Book.

My reasoning is financial mostly in the past when I was better off (like I am now) I bought so much crap like multiple G lenses (thousands $). Now I'm about avoiding being broke so just 1 type of similar device vs. multiple. I also had an iPad Pro which arguably their hardware is the best eg. built in lidar but I don't like the iOS ecosystem in an iPad so I got rid of that too.

I had the rM2, and recently sold it and bought an rPP.

I hear where you're coming from. I'm in a similar place actually, but I've embedded the reMarkable so deeply into my workflow it would be a very painful device to cut out of my professional life.

Just the ability to cast my "paper notebook" in a Zoom call is incredible.

    that sounds resource intensive to cast, so I guess that's the difference between rPP and rM2? I guess it's just a greyscale image being streamed.

    the writing feeling is what I enjoyed the most and long battery life, you just have it sitting on the side for weeks/month(s) no charging concern
