reMarkable 2 vs iPad Pro: How to Choose in 2023?

on the surface these two devices seem pretty similar they're both tablets they share a similar form factor but in practice they couldn't be more different I've used both of them deeply for the last few years and in this video I'm going to help you decide which of these devices is right for you if you're new around here my name is Brandon and on this channel I share practical tips to help you improve your focus and creativity if that sounds interesting to you consider subscribing so that you don't miss out on the videos that I post here every other week alright back to the video one of my beliefs is that there is no right device but there is a right device for you and when figuring out what that is I find that it's helpful to Define what you're hoping to accomplish by adding a new device to begin with so let's talk about use cases because I think that's where we're going to find how different these two devices actually are the iPad has amazing utility perhaps the best of any device at the time of this video it can do most things it's part phone part computer part notebook when it comes to utility the iPad can't be beat but the challenge here is that it's a jack of all trades master of none for each of the things that it can do there's a specialized device that does that thing slightly better if I'm looking to communicate with someone my phone is way more convenient for everyday carry and if I'm looking to type a document or write some code I'm way more comfortable on my computer with its large screen and comfy keyboard and the same is true for writing yes the iPad checks some technical boxes for its writing but at the end of the day it's an inferior experience to actually writing on paper not to mention it's plethora of apps are just begging to distract you and that's likely a good segue into the other half of this video which is comparing it to the remarkable two I think it's safe to say that the remarkable is on the opposite end of the utility Spectrum it really only does one thing which is writing and being a great alternative to a traditional notebook it is world class at that one thing and that one thing only some will argue that it's good for reading documents like PDFs but I find it hard to call it a universally good reading device when it doesn't support Kindle books as a general rule I found that tools need to be opinionated to be as powerful as possible excellent tools are willing to be bad at some things to be truly great at others to give you an example the remarkable lacks a backlight because adding one would have increased the distance between your pen tip and the display which would have hurt the writing experience they were willing to make the device unusable in the dark so that it could be a better writing experience in the light where most of its users would use it in closing if you're looking for a Swiss Army device that can do most things check out the iPad it's a truly impressive piece of technology it's also an amazing digital art platform and so if you're a digital artist it's an easy recommend there in my opinion that's its one true world-class use case if you are a professional aspiring professional or student who's looking to think more clearly and gain more Focus I highly recommend you check out the remarkable but before you commit to it do yourself a favor and check out the other e-ink devices that are available as well I've got a complete education of all the compelling options in this short playlist right here go check it out until next time have a great day foreign
