This Paper is DIGITAL – reMarkable Paper Pro

thanks to remarkable for sponsoring today's video did you know digital paper exists so the company remarkable has been making these digital paper tablets for about a decade now and their newest tablet the remarkable paper Pro manages to feel more like paper than any other device I've ever tried now if you've never heard of the remarkable tablets they're basically like having an almost unlimited amount of notebooks in this tiny body it's all about having a place to think and getting your ideas or notes down without the distractions we all get from our devices so check it out I got invited to their launch event and I got to see it firsthand with all of the new improvements and features we're going to unbox it so you guys can get a better look spoiler alert though there's color now and I'm hyped but the event space was pretty cleverly designed with these giant sheets of paper as wall now I was lucky enough to learn more about the new tablet directly from their CEO Philip hes and their Chief design officer Matt's herding who I got to have an awesome combo with but like I said let's jump into an unboxing because they did let me walk away with one and a few accessories all right so we're back in the studio I'm excited we've got the remarkable paper Pro over here and we got a few other accessories as well we've got the book folio and we also have the new type folio as well as the remarkable marker plus all right so it just makes sense to just go straight for the tablet right yeah now of course we got the paper paper Pro over here but we've also got our paperwork and next to it we have the USBC cable very flat cable so now to the main attraction it's definitely bigger I can feel the difference so there are a couple of call outs here okay so first being this thing now has a larger display an 11.8 in display all right so this is my remarkable 2 yeah baby that is a bigger display all right so the display is now almost the same size as the previous version almost now they did make some other changes like the frame it's got a flatter frame but there are these like ridges as well and like the idea behind The Ridges is that it's kind of like your your book right like your stack of papers so it's like the lines kind of represent paper as you're writing oh that makes perfect sense yeah right that's that attention to detail man ah but they did get rid of this metal frame not that it matters it did make the bezel smaller though so that's nice we've got the rubber feet at the bottom and we also have some connectors over here if you want to hook it up to the type folio you'll be able to do that no more rounded edges flatter look I'm for it but I feel like it's time to go ahead and open up the new marker plus all right so some paperwork yada yada this is the pen and we've got marker tips over over here on the side oh I like the packaging oh that's convenient so you can just pop this out you can put the marker inside and when you pull it out you'll have a brand new uh marker tip so that's cool and they actually changed the marker tip from the previous version this whole thing is completely redesigned it's rounder but we still have that flat side so it can lay right up against this very comfortably now one thing to note though none of the accessories is going to be backwards compatible to like the previous version so you can't just get the new marker plus and you know try to make some magic happen all right power it on W that color though oh man the nerd in me is very excited now from what I've learned it was extremely complicated to build a screen with color but this is basically going to have colored particles that live within the screen and as you write with a specific color this is going to pull them up to the screen which makes the colors visible anyway all right guys so I'm going to go ahead and open a quick note and I'm going to write my first thing who oh my gosh feels like I'm writing on paper this is an ASMR moment right here let me take this thing off is that an actual sound or is that just is that a sound that no no it's legitimate that's the way it's the texture of the screen and the pen sh get over here man try it try it out okay oh yeah right okay so the screen texture is one thing but color color is what we need right so for all those folks out there who are like insane note takers who like to color code their notes and I knew kids like that in high school and college someone like that is using the remarkable paper Pro they're going to feel right at home here Point pen c yeah listen you know I picked [Music] it oh man one more big deal at least for me personally so you can swipe down from the top right where you can add some back lighting so that feature is completely new to the paper Pro and now Kill the Lights oh look at that now I don't know how okay you guys could see it here oh I see it you see that now if I were to turn turn it off you see that now it's just we're just in the dark I'm very I'm very very excited but all right we do have some other accessories that we got to take a look at real quick one being the new type folio so here it is now this comes in a completely new design which is actually really impressive this might I don't even know what color this comes off as to you what color does this come off as like a grayish on camera aome it's not when you look really closely it's a mixture of colors so so we've got some blues and we've got some like Browns in here and I guess that warm and cool mixture kind of makes it just cancel out and look kind of grayish and I don't know if you guys can tell but the keyboard is thin and they made a few nice changes with this so I found that to be a lot easier to open up than the original you can see they added a wrist rest so we've got some larger keys and some extra buttons and not to mention it is a backlit keyboard now another change that they made they got this little flap over here so now when you're putting this in your backpack or wherever you don't have to worry about the marker plus flying out I always had issues with that all right book folio time if you don't want the keyboard some people definitely don't need the keyboard uh you can just foro the keyboard go with the book folio I love this flap man the fact that it gets tucked away when you're not using it satisfying that is so nice so much thought went behind all of the different things that they've got going on over here if you want to hear the more intricate explanations of like the thought process and how these all came together I did get a chance to sit down or stand up with Matt check out what he had to say all right you guys so I got some special time with Matt hering the chief design officer of the remarkable so like from the very beginning what was the inspiration behind like the remarkable and how did that evolve with what we're seeing today when we built remarkable one we focused on just a very simple task which is how can we respectfully recreate paper I think that's what we see in this product today it's obviously significantly more complex across so many different facets as compared to remarkable one but the product we put in the hands of the users is still a super simple product it should be as simple as using paper you have pen and you have a blank sheet and that's basically it how do you envision like everyday people using something like the remarkable everybody has some kind of reference to what they use paper for some people use them for taking notes some people use them for doodling and I think that's kind of the intent as well paper is not a workflow it is just a tool it's a blank sheet and there is a tool to draw on what we have focused a lot on has been rebuilding the writing experience I would say it's now even closer to paper we've added color obviously these are physical colors moving around physical color particles I will say I got a little bit of time with it just like a few seconds and the sound of its sketching like yeah it's so close to paper I am it's actually mindblowing I'm always trying to be more productive I've purchased so many notebooks in the past and since getting my hands on the remarkable I haven't purchased another notebook it's glad to hear it being able to replace it and have an infinite number of notebooks just on one device it's like a no-brainer but Matts thank you man I appreciate it this this is awesome there you have it guys this is the new remarkable paper Pro definitely a premium product here but if this is just way out of your price range they are going to still be carrying the remarkable 2 so that's still going to be available for purchase for a lower price point but my goodness I want to be productive that is a your fidget spin to you feel like it just it's so satisfying
