“Go peacefully in the midst of noise and haste and remember what peace there can be in silence” is No a slogan that has found favor with the Internet generation. After all, the devices we work with contain the sum total of human knowledge available at the push of a button. And, you know, all the other things, like seeing attractive people on instagram and attractive people on TikTok. It's this productivity-sapping calamity that the reMarkable Paper Pro was designed to solve.
It's a “distraction-free” writing board with an e-paper screen, a stylus, and a keyboard (optional), that only does two things. You can write/draw with it, or read and jot down things you need to examine without the temptation of whatever mobile game of the day you're obsessed with. That lack of versatility is its secret weapon, as it forces you to focus on what is in front of you at that moment.
The reMarkable Paper Pro is the third generation of the hardware, but the first to come with a color screen. It's also larger and offers a more responsive experience, as if you were using a paper notepad than before. Of course, it has some advantages over paper, such as the fact that you can email and share documents between devices.
