"About a year ago, we said you probably don't need the Remarkable Paper Pro. The e-ink device is equal parts outrageous and luxurious; it's not ideal for consuming books, and the screen can sometimes feel painfully slow. Then there's the starting price, which is, quite frankly, ludicrous at $629 (up from $579 thanks to US-induced tariffs). Add in the $229 Type Folio, and holy hell."
"And yet, I not only bought the Paper Pro, but it's the device I find myself reaching for most often when I want to GTD, like write this blog. Not because it's the best tablet - it's not - but because it's a stubbornly single-purpose device. That's a good thing! While using it, I'm insulated from a world that's constantly demanding my attention. There is no Slack app. I can't doomscroll. There are exactly zero notifications."
The Remarkable Paper Pro is an e-ink device positioned as luxurious and single-purpose, with a starting price of $629, up from $579 due to US-induced tariffs; adding the $229 Type Folio raises the combined cost significantly. The screen can feel painfully slow and the device is not ideal for reading books. A MacBook Air has been available as an alternative for as low as $738. Despite limitations and high cost, the device's single-purpose design prevents distractions: no Slack app, no doomscrolling, and zero notifications, which supports focused work and productivity.
