Jake:
based on what I'm reading, this is the only alternative that compares well https://supernote.com/

there is also this: https://shop.boox.com/products/maxlumi but way too big. they will be coming out with a smaller version in a few days though...

Jake:
I ended up ordering the remarkable2 instead of waiting for Christmas - I am able to expense it for work, so that's cool.

So far, this thing.....is freaking awesome. It is exactly what I imagined it would be - like writing on a kindle. It doesn't feel quite like paper, but it is damn close. there is no delay that I could notice. The thing is super slim but a little bit heavier than I would imagine. The cover is nice and magnetic. The pen is also magnetic, and I wonder how quickly I will use it when travelling - first glance I wish it has a more secure way to attach it to the device or the cover.

I'll update further as I get more time with it.

ober:
Ahh... I see what you did there.

Jake:
so no joke, this thing is pretty amazing. Actually, I am shocked that this is not more popular. I am certain that this will replace all my notebooks - I had one for work, another for fishing stuff, another for furniture, another for poetry, etc etc - here I can have folders and different notebooks within them.

Here are a few awesome things I discovered:
1. cut and paste anything! like today, I was making dining room table plans and I started making dimension notes and then I wanted to add another drawing to get a good calculation and there was no room for it on an earlier page and having the drawing after the dimension notes would not flow - well, guess what, I  just moved the section with the dimensions so that I can fit another drawing! I love that!
2. save a page or entire notebook as a pdf! the picture I attached is from a pdf from the document I was working on - in a blink of an eye you have a pdf - no more scanning or taking pictures. awesomeness
2a. the highlighter feature on the tablet is a little useless, but comes through as yellow highlighter on the pdf
3. handwriting to text - at least with my nasty handwriting, so far it was pretty spot on!
4. there are many different page templates - grid, ruled, ruled with margins, check list, etc etc - I think there is like 30 different ones!

Really, this device is worth every penny! I am so happy I got it.

I also found the correct position for the pen - there are two magnets, and when in this position where both are used to attach the pen, it is attached pretty solidly.

micah:
I'm impressed.
Are you using the paid "connect" plan?  How functional is it without those paid extra features?  Is it easy to save files to port to another device..and/or back again?  Does it only export in PDF format or could you export, say, as a transparent PNG?  The screen share looks cool is it easy to use? does it require extra software or is it just a page in a browser...?  Is there like an online interface for accessing all your stuff?  Can you print from it?  So many questions.  But seriously interested in this.
