Very pricey new tool I could get some use out of.

I'm always making notes on paper especially for work.  But at $600+ I'd definitely be one of the early adopters.  I genuinely think this would be something I could use.  And I'm also a put the 'phone away all the time so as not to treat it as an entertainment device which is why I also want to upgrade to the S8 with Samsung pay and ditch my wallet.  But this tablet.  I get daily e-mails from Popular Mechanics and this is their article that got me all juiced up.  http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/news/a28217/remarkable-tablet-review-hands-on/?src=nl&mag=pop&list=nl_pnl_news&date=091617

Not one of my usual I'm bored topics. 

Just watched their sales pitch video.  Uh yeah.  That would definitely make my life better.  Limited finance options means time save specifically or empty a savings account.   They're not available until next month so a hundo a week should get me there. 

I'll stick with the paper I don't have to recharge and has no lag.  (I would miss the fine lines and fluidity of radiography pens and mech pencils too much to make the jump anyway.)

The screen does seem interesting in that it's different. But I think I would just get a wacom bamboo pad instead and use Google keep.

Thanks for the heads up on the wacom stuff. 

So you get a fraction of the functionality of an iPad Pro at a higher cost so that it feels like you are writing on a piece of paper?  Pass.

While I'm a fan of e-ink readers, I'm uncertain of it in an otherwise full function tablet. OTOH, my tablet is a my mobile TV. 

In reply to Brian :

The whole pitch is that it isn't an iPad. I have a Kindle Fire for email and car pornography and as such it gets put out of sight pretty often. Productivity is a dirty word nowadays and I always find my support berkeleying off on their phones. oops that was meant to be in reply to pinchvalve. 

Irony of bloody ironies I bought a refurb iPad3 on flea bay tonight because the top notch British wine magazine I used to have a paper subscription to only does its digital version on an iPad.  Oh well, in the vein I've mentioned that's all it will be used for.  So leave the distracting Fire at home and use this productively to learn more during my hour or so break most days. I will definitely look deeper into the Wacom stuff for note taking/making with maybe Evernote or  Keep. And I'm looking at an Asus Chromebook for two notes at Wally world to keep the MBPro for serious stuff.  Getting very compartmentalized in my life but with my attention span worth it. 

I don't even own one, but I've already lost my stylus. Do I have to give you another $600 to reactivate my expensive but now useless device?

I'll stick to my iPhone covered in Post-Its for now.

Why not just an old Samsung note? Has a stylus, does all the tablet things, and doesn't tie you to that horrible Apple software and hardware. 

And older ones, like the 2 and 3 still run modern roms just fine. 

Sounds like a job for any tablet that can use a stylus and the drawing software of your choice. I was doing it on a Treo 180, before it was cool!

I'll stick with my free paper notepads that I can drop, leave out in the rain, throw at people I hate, etc. Technology is good, but if it isn't inherently better than what you are already using why make things more complicated. Oh, and when you need to buy a new one because your piece of high tech equipment breaks or is outdated I will still be using my free notepad to do the same job.
