Cheap paper-display tablets can be pretty tough to come by, especially if you’re looking for something that you can use for writing, note-taking, and drawing. Fortunately, Best Buy is offering this reMarkable 2 Paper Tablet for $70 off right now, and purchase comes with the Marker Plus digital pen and a Polymer Weave Book Folio. With the discount, the price drops to $499, which might feel a little more reasonable for those who have been in the market.
The reMarkable 2 features an active screen area of 10.2 inches, offering easy note-taking on PDFs and other documents, e-books, and more. It’s also seamlessly compatible with cloud syncing services and the maker also offers its own via the Connect platform. It’s worth noting that this tablet doesn’t include a built-in backlight, while it still remains a little on the pricey side. But the experience of using this paper tablet is definitely worthwhile post-purchase if those aren’t dealbreakers for you.
✅Recommended if: you want one of the best e-ink, writing, and paper-display tablets on the market, and you don’t want to have to buy a digital pen separately; you’re looking for a reading and writing tablet that measures around 10 inches; you’re looking for something that’s compatible with cloud services such as Google Drive Dropbox, and OneDrive; you’d like a paper-display tablet that features a long-lasting battery life and easy charging.
❌Skip this deal if: you’re looking for a tablet display that comes in color; you don’t want to have to pay for a subscription to first-party storage services like Connect after the initial free trial period; you’d prefer something that has a brighter backlighting option.
The Remarkable 2 paper tablet is an excellent non-backlit paper tablet, sporting 1 GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, a 1.2GHz processor, and a long-lasting, 3,000mAh battery. The included digital pen offers 4,096 levels of pressure, as well as tilt detection, and a high-friction tip, and the tablet also includes eight different pen tip options. All in all, it starts to feel like a pretty great deal if this is the kind of device and price point you’re considering.
