What I Like About the reMarkable Paper Pro Move

Here are the things I like about my new reMarkable Paper Pro Move, in no specific order.

  • It is small and portable. You can easily take it anywhere, especially in your EDC bag or purse.
  • Its compact size makes it convenient to carry everywhere with you. It even works out great on your bedside table since it does not take up a lot of room.
  • The pen has a nice weight to it and feels premium all around. It’s also super responsive.
  • The tablet itself is very responsive in everything I tried, from navigating the menus to seeing the ink appear on screen as you write. This also feels like a premium product.
  • I love the fact that the pen has a built-in “eraser.” All you have to do is flip it around like you would with a regular old-fashioned pencil to use it.
  • The handwriting-to-text conversion is fast and pretty accurate overall. It does make mistakes, but I think that has more to do with my bad handwriting (see screenshot below).
  • Being able to magnetically attach the pen to the side and have it charge is fantastic.
  • Two-finger scrolling of the page is very smooth for the most part.
  • Outward pinch to zoom in to your writing is great, especially when details are important.
  • The desktop app, paired with the Paper Pro Move and their Connect service, is nice. Syncing is generally fast, but sometimes I had to close the app and restart it to see changes. This was rare, but it did happen to me a couple of times.
  • Simple detail, but I like that it has rubber feet on the back, so it doesn’t slide when you write on it while it sits on your desk without the folio.
  • I haven’t verified this, but supposedly a 10-minute charge will give you 3 days of use.
  • The leather folio is excellent. It fits like a glove, and the magnets are strong and secure the tablet very well. I love the flap that conveniently fits over the pen to secure it with magnets. I also like the way it tucks behind when you have it open and are using the Paper Pro Move.
  • A lot of people complain about the paid Connect service that reMarkable offers, but I think it’s cool that they offer the first 100 days for free.

Tomorrow, I will share the things I do not like about the tablet, so don’t be shy and come on by.
