1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,960
this has been in my house for like two years this is the remarkable one

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,920
and my wife bought it when she randomly took a calculus class for fun because

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:14,719
that's her idea of fun and i think she used it for probably combined 12 hours now i'm touching it

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,080
for the very first time because i also have a pile of remarkable

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,320
two stuff here so i like to do a side-by-side comparison of what they're

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,160
like from the perspective of never using it before so we're gonna see how easy it is

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:32,480
to use as far as the stuff i got for the remarkable two

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:34,399
you can see two types of stylus here

9
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:39,120
the marker and the marker plus this is the basic one that costs

10
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:41,760
fifty dollars and then this one costs a hundred dollars

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,440
what is the rest of the stuff okay this is a folio

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,200
that's a sold separately option this appears to be

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,000
the tablet itself that's 400 and you can buy it

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,600
by itself but if you don't get a stylus then it's basically

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,840
an e-reader and then this is another folio

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,840
premium leather black

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,880
okay a little welcome package here

18
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,560
welcome to a better thinking community a growing movement of people committed to

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,840
finding focus in a distracted world but not wanting to use paper quick start

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:19,600
guide long press to edit or share swipe

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:25,360
oh make an account to get the full experience on the cloud not doing that

22
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:26,640
not now anyway usb type a on one side

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:33,680
and usb type c on the other side okay

24
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:33,680
this is already feeling better

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,720
okay whoa this is

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,720
way more premium feeling and i guess it's kind of asymmetrical

27
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:49,439
this is like thicker and taller and has symmetrical bezels

28
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,200
but this one has like a spine

29
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,439
like kind of like a book except of course you can't open it and it has

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,719
more of an aluminum body this actually feels really nice

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:03,439
i know that the first one had like a plastic construction

32
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,320
for the screen whereas this one has i believe glass

33
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,280
so i want to check out if that's going to have a different pen feel

34
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:15,599
they have the same 10.3 inch screen size the same

35
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:19,440
pixels per inch kind of retina level

36
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,879
it's 1872 by 1404 pixels which is

37
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,520
226 ppi random resolution

38
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:27,840
oh cool there's just a really way more subtle power button up there compared to

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,640
the big old button in the middle here but i'm gonna try i'm left-handed

40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,040
surprise this one's set up for right now what this does is changes what side the

41
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,800
ui is on because they want to reduce the amount of screen that needs to be like palm

42
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:45,040
rejected all the time all right now it's time for the stylus

43
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,040
off i'm going to start with the basic one

44
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,840
there it is it's plastic uh

45
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:58,000
pretty similar to the other one neither of them have any like

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,360
clicky eraser or anything on them i don't know

47
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:07,680
how do they attach well okay this one looks like it's got magnets basically

48
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,319
everywhere no not the front

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,560
kind of on the side though and then this one

50
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,080
i think yeah yeah

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,840
you just need to get a folio or something that has a little holder

52
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,080
for it or put it in your ear like an artist this one has a more

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,599
textured finish on it almost like sand blasted like

54
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,400
that one plus phone that had that it's kind of grippy

55
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,400
this one's just smooth plastic and they have graphite tips

56
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,319
i believe these are replaceable marker tips

57
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:42,080
there they are whoa this is how you take it out you like slide it in there

58
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,280
until it gets thin and then pull it or something oh here we go

59
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,040
there it is and then do i just like just

60
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:56,080
shove that in there yeah yeah oh my god yes

61
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,599
and it's in it's in share by email

62
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:02,000
convert to pdf convert to text and send

63
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,599
you can actually be hand write or print with your hand

64
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:09,280
and then use this to convert it to text that you can then email yourself or save

65
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,959
um which is pretty awesome but as i understand you need to be connected to the internet and

66
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:16,880
i'll log into your remarkable account for that to work i believe

67
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:19,519
stream beta live view stream your writing and sketching instantly by

68
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,800
connecting to your computer that's kind of interesting there's also

69
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:25,919
like 50 different templates you can use so if you want lined paper

70
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,520
or like graphing paper or whatever i just want a blank page

71
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,639
right now so i'm going to start with that i want to check out the feel first off

72
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,040
that's like pretty tactile it has you can hear the scratchiness to it

73
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,840
now let's see what it's like riding on glass

74
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,800
walking on broken glass

75
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,680
i like this v1 i am lifting the pencil

76
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,199
off of the tablet at the end of that stroke and then i can see

77
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,800
the stroke completing like it's finishing drawing while my pen is off

78
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,039
just for a second there and i read that they had better latency

79
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:11,759
on the glass version which is one of the reasons i switched it so i can still see that

80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,800
there's some latency there but it is better

81
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,160
it is better now both the pans support

82
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,759
um tilting so you can shade

83
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,759
you can see i can do really dark or i can do like

84
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,360
let's see how light i can get and still register a pencil stroke

85
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:33,759
it's not like real life in real life i could do see how it's getting dotted

86
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,000
in real life i could do lighter strokes but here

87
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,800
it's just not reading them so it doesn't have that much sensitivity though this

88
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:45,120
pen does have double the sensitivity gradations than the original it's up to

89
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,919
like 4096 or something like that where this is 2000 and something another cool

90
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,960
thing you can do with this is you can open up pdfs full-on documents and just mark them up

91
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,280
if you like marking up documents with a pen and then you can email them off right

92
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:00,880
from there so even if you're not taking notes in class or an artist who

93
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:05,360
likes to draw just technically you can be an engineer and just want to mark up documents a

94
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:09,039
professional project manager and send them off i could see value in that i wish there

95
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,160
was more than just three settings with the thickness of this pencil

96
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,400
this is my face when i am on ShortCircuit

97
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,840
it's not a happy face but i am happy you just can't tell

98
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,800
because i have resting and active face honestly

99
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,960
it is the very light shading where it suffers

100
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:32,240
like i really wanted that to be half

101
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,039
unless i'm using it wrong i just don't really think this is for artists

102
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:39,840
to to sketch with changing to from thick to thin

103
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,280
helps but that's kind of just the fineness of the pen and not necessarily

104
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,759
the lightness ah pause for a message from our sponsor

to curiosity stream today let's look at the suite marker

114
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:26,479
uh this one costs twice as much it is heavier

115
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:32,639
it is more premium feeling it has a clicky end on it and an eraser

116
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,280
uh so let's check that out it doesn't

117
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:36,960
have the same finish it actually feels somewhere

118
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,199
between remarkable one and two's pens um it has

119
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,280
a bit of a grippiness to it but not as much oh i thought i thought it was clicky

120
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:48,720
it's not i think the remarkable one premium pen was clicky i wish i had it'd

121
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:51,280
be nice to have that even if it didn't do anything on the mark remarkable one

122
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:56,560
it didn't do anything but it's still nice to like finish something and be like

123
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:59,759
you know or like i had a friend you just always clicked on his forehead when he

124
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,599
was done ready you don't need to turn them on uh it

125
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,520
just works that's cool let's see what the eraser is

126
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:11,680
about oh that's cool it feels almost like it wobbles because

127
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,800
it does depress a bit it doesn't click but it does depress

128
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:20,639
it feels pretty realistic in that if you use the side of it it doesn't erase as

129
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,520
thoroughly as when i tip it over on end and then it's like really on

130
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,240
battery life uh same size battery is remarkable one

131
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:31,840
so no improvement there it'll last you quite a long time these i wouldn't think

132
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:35,200
that's a concern really like when everyone who has a kindle knows you just

133
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,440
chuck it in your bag and come back days later and they're fine although i will say i'm dropped to 47

134
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:43,599
now where i think i was at 50 at the beginning of this video it's a

135
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:45,920
3 000 milliamp hour battery so about the same as your phone but it should go a

136
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,240
lot farther the original one had a one gigahertz CPU

137
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:54,800
unit single core this one has a dual core 1.2 gigahertz CPU

138
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:59,279
it also like the first one has eight gigabytes of storage that's unchanged

139
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:03,360
i guess it doesn't take a lot of room to make documents and

140
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:06,000
you can just send them off and archive them if you start to

141
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,880
fill up i claim it's the world's thinnest tablet well i mean it's kind of

142
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:14,399
cheating it's pretty damn thin though the form factor is cool this reminds me of what

143
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:18,000
steve jobs probably had in his mind when he was first conceiving of what laptops

144
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:22,560
could be like back when they had like you know the laptops were like this thick and you

145
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,279
thought oh it'd be cool if it was like a book this is just like a slate like this is

146
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:32,399
like a rigid notebook i want to know how much more it

147
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:36,160
weighs than the original given that the

148
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:40,880
original was plastic all the way around so 350 grams

149
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:46,560
versus something that has an aluminum construction and glass on the top

150
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:48,560
400 grams so that's pretty good the most basic folio you can buy from their

151
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,160
website i believe it's seventy dollars that's probably what that was

152
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:58,640
okay really simple it doesn't feel

153
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,920
great okay it's not like windowed or anything it's this is just a carrying

154
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:07,920
case and i guess it has a stylus sleeve also nice and tight

155
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:11,440
yeah this is just basic protection pull it out it's not going to add a lot of

156
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:15,519
bulk it doesn't have any extra pockets or buttons or anything i actually prefer

157
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:20,079
this design now if you wanted to spend more i think

158
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,920
up to 150 bucks for the leather ones okay this basically

159
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,480
just looks like like a moleskine book like a notebook almost oh yeah see that

160
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:32,640
was kind of satisfying you can see that there

161
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,680
uh oop there goes my pen it doesn't look like it's meant to be like tented or be

162
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:39,360
an easel but look at that like this is pretty

163
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:46,480
sci-fi uh now where does your stylus go

164
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,760
yeah that's okay that's okay if someone shoves you in the hallway and wants your

165
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,000
lunch money it's not like really on there

166
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,680
i don't think i would trust this honestly see how it's uh it's not flat

167
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,600
it's an incline so that means as you go farther on the page

168
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:03,680
the hill slope adjusts as i get to the end of the page i'm not even on it

169
00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:08,560
anymore that sucks so i would use it in landscape

170
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:12,399
or i mean it's easy enough to just pop it out

171
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:18,320
get rid of that and then just put it back in at the end of class

172
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:20,240
and go this is sick but if is this 150

173
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,079
bucks i need to check because that's a lot so this is 69 then

174
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,279
there's a book version of this material that's a hundred dollars

175
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:34,959
then this is the premium leather book version and this is a hundred and

176
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,959
fifty us dollars

177
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,560
that's come on so what you can do is buy

178
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,079
the remarkable one they're still selling it on their

179
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:47,519
website with a folio and a stylus for 300 bucks

180
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,920
so considering the folio is 70 bucks and the stylish is 50 and then the thing

181
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:54,959
itself you can get all of that for 300

182
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,399
or even a refurbished one for 20 off of that given that they have the same software

183
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:01,440
and this like still feels fine it doesn't look as cool

184
00:12:00,079 --> 00:12:05,519
and you're going to notice the RAM difference when you go to open new documents

185
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,639
turning pages about the same speed but when you open a new pdf it'll open

186
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,240
faster on the new one but if you're strapped for cash and you don't think you're going to use this a

187
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:15,440
ton buy one of those gen ones if you think

188
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:21,920
you're gonna use it a lot and you need to look cool in front of the ladies

189
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,399
or gentlemen this thing is pretty

190
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,000
sweet and slick so that's about all i have to say about it i think it's

191
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,920
actually pretty cool i think if this is what you want you won't be disappointed

192
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:35,760
i think i'll be selling this because my wife never used it and i'm still mad

193
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,959
although i can't find my kindle right now so maybe i should just be using this as an
