Can't wait to see how well it performs. I've watched a TON of video and have learnt a lot about the device. I also bought the "Type Folio" which is the native Keyboard for the device. I'll see how it performs and what I need the device (specifically the Keyboard) as people all over the Internet are praising the device.

For my needs it's simple and boils down to this important points:

1. I used to like Journaling and take notes 1-Hour before bed. Usually around 10:00 PM.

2. I would use a pen and a 5 Subject Notebook.

3. But I can't ERASE, EDIT or SORT my thouhts.

4. I don't need color what-so-ever, I would with a Uni-ball Fine Type Ink Pen with the Notebooks.

5. I got the keyboard so I can CONVERT to TEXT my writing. I mostly "print" and don't write and so the writing recognition should be pretty decent and I can SPOT fix some characters here-and-there.

6. I don't want to have to throw out OLD notebooks ... I've got like 5 around the apartment... I don't want more... For the SIMPLE FACT that I cannot SEARCH or TAG my documents: it's pen and paper.

7. So Search & Tagging is important to me.

8. In the event that something happens to the device ... I need a BACKUP. So I'm curious how the Sync-ing works between the Desktop and Cloud services like Google Drive (for example).

9. I want to see how layers work and is it possible to maintain a GRAPHICS or handwritten layer in a TEXT document... To be seen.

10. It was a costly purchase (exactly $949 CAD with all-in including taxes and shipping). It's an investment in exchange for NO MORE NOTEBOOKS! And the possibility of writing and journaling my thoughts on different projects. TBD.

***

I will report back (sort of a quick review) of the device and how I feel about it. From all the videos I've seen, I FIT into the proper category of person for the device ... Namely DAILY journaling and the possibility to TYPE and EDIT in addition to WRITING on the device.

We shall see... I will report back when I get the device... We'll have to wait and see. I will keep you all updated and tell you my own impressions of the device and see if ANY of our readers or designers feel the need to get their own copy of the reMarkable 2 (and a few reasons from me personally) once I start using the device myself and have a couple weeks of experience using the device.

Cheers all!
