this has been in my house for like two years this is the remarkable one
and my wife bought it when she randomly took a calculus class for fun because
that's her idea of fun and i think she used it for probably combined 12 hours now i'm touching it
for the very first time because i also have a pile of remarkable
two stuff here so i like to do a side-by-side comparison of what they're
like from the perspective of never using it before so we're gonna see how easy it is
to use as far as the stuff i got for the remarkable two
you can see two types of stylus here
the marker and the marker plus this is the basic one that costs
fifty dollars and then this one costs a hundred dollars
what is the rest of the stuff okay this is a folio
that's a sold separately option this appears to be
the tablet itself that's 400 and you can buy it
by itself but if you don't get a stylus then it's basically
an e-reader and then this is another folio
premium leather black
okay a little welcome package here
welcome to a better thinking community a growing movement of people committed to
finding focus in a distracted world but not wanting to use paper quick start
guide long press to edit or share swipe
oh make an account to get the full experience on the cloud not doing that
not now anyway usb type a on one side
and usb type c on the other side okay
this is already feeling better
okay whoa this is
way more premium feeling and i guess it's kind of asymmetrical
this is like thicker and taller and has symmetrical bezels
but this one has like a spine
like kind of like a book except of course you can't open it and it has
more of an aluminum body this actually feels really nice
i know that the first one had like a plastic construction
for the screen whereas this one has i believe glass
so i want to check out if that's going to have a different pen feel
they have the same 10.3 inch screen size the same
pixels per inch kind of retina level
it's 1872 by 1404 pixels which is
226 ppi random resolution
oh cool there's just a really way more subtle power button up there compared to
the big old button in the middle here but i'm gonna try i'm left-handed
surprise this one's set up for right now what this does is changes what side the
ui is on because they want to reduce the amount of screen that needs to be like palm
rejected all the time all right now it's time for the stylus
off i'm going to start with the basic one
there it is it's plastic uh
pretty similar to the other one neither of them have any like
clicky eraser or anything on them i don't know
how do they attach well okay this one looks like it's got magnets basically
everywhere no not the front
kind of on the side though and then this one
i think yeah yeah
you just need to get a folio or something that has a little holder
for it or put it in your ear like an artist this one has a more
textured finish on it almost like sand blasted like
that one plus phone that had that it's kind of grippy
this one's just smooth plastic and they have graphite tips
i believe these are replaceable marker tips
there they are whoa this is how you take it out you like slide it in there
until it gets thin and then pull it or something oh here we go
there it is and then do i just like just
shove that in there yeah yeah oh my god yes
and it's in it's in share by email
convert to pdf convert to text and send
you can actually be hand write or print with your hand
and then use this to convert it to text that you can then email yourself or save
um which is pretty awesome but as i understand you need to be connected to the internet and
i'll log into your remarkable account for that to work i believe
stream beta live view stream your writing and sketching instantly by
connecting to your computer that's kind of interesting there's also
like 50 different templates you can use so if you want lined paper
or like graphing paper or whatever i just want a blank page
right now so i'm going to start with that i want to check out the feel first off
that's like pretty tactile it has you can hear the scratchiness to it
now let's see what it's like riding on glass
walking on broken glass
i like this v1 i am lifting the pencil
off of the tablet at the end of that stroke and then i can see
the stroke completing like it's finishing drawing while my pen is off
just for a second there and i read that they had better latency
on the glass version which is one of the reasons i switched it so i can still see that
there's some latency there but it is better
it is better now both the pans support
um tilting so you can shade
you can see i can do really dark or i can do like
let's see how light i can get and still register a pencil stroke
it's not like real life in real life i could do see how it's getting dotted
in real life i could do lighter strokes but here
it's just not reading them so it doesn't have that much sensitivity though this
pen does have double the sensitivity gradations than the original it's up to
like 4096 or something like that where this is 2000 and something another cool
thing you can do with this is you can open up pdfs full-on documents and just mark them up
if you like marking up documents with a pen and then you can email them off right
from there so even if you're not taking notes in class or an artist who
likes to draw just technically you can be an engineer and just want to mark up documents a
professional project manager and send them off i could see value in that i wish there
was more than just three settings with the thickness of this pencil
this is my face when i am on ShortCircuit
it's not a happy face but i am happy you just can't tell
because i have resting and active face honestly
it is the very light shading where it suffers
like i really wanted that to be half
unless i'm using it wrong i just don't really think this is for artists
to to sketch with changing to from thick to thin
helps but that's kind of just the fineness of the pen and not necessarily
the lightness ah pause for a message from our sponsor

to curiosity stream today let's look at the suite marker
uh this one costs twice as much it is heavier
it is more premium feeling it has a clicky end on it and an eraser
uh so let's check that out it doesn't
have the same finish it actually feels somewhere
between remarkable one and two's pens um it has
a bit of a grippiness to it but not as much oh i thought i thought it was clicky
it's not i think the remarkable one premium pen was clicky i wish i had it'd
be nice to have that even if it didn't do anything on the mark remarkable one
it didn't do anything but it's still nice to like finish something and be like
you know or like i had a friend you just always clicked on his forehead when he
was done ready you don't need to turn them on uh it
just works that's cool let's see what the eraser is
about oh that's cool it feels almost like it wobbles because
it does depress a bit it doesn't click but it does depress
it feels pretty realistic in that if you use the side of it it doesn't erase as
thoroughly as when i tip it over on end and then it's like really on
battery life uh same size battery is remarkable one
so no improvement there it'll last you quite a long time these i wouldn't think
that's a concern really like when everyone who has a kindle knows you just
chuck it in your bag and come back days later and they're fine although i will say i'm dropped to 47
now where i think i was at 50 at the beginning of this video it's a
3 000 milliamp hour battery so about the same as your phone but it should go a
lot farther the original one had a one gigahertz CPU
unit single core this one has a dual core 1.2 gigahertz CPU
it also like the first one has eight gigabytes of storage that's unchanged
i guess it doesn't take a lot of room to make documents and
you can just send them off and archive them if you start to
fill up i claim it's the world's thinnest tablet well i mean it's kind of
cheating it's pretty damn thin though the form factor is cool this reminds me of what
steve jobs probably had in his mind when he was first conceiving of what laptops
could be like back when they had like you know the laptops were like this thick and you
thought oh it'd be cool if it was like a book this is just like a slate like this is
like a rigid notebook i want to know how much more it
weighs than the original given that the
original was plastic all the way around so 350 grams
versus something that has an aluminum construction and glass on the top
400 grams so that's pretty good the most basic folio you can buy from their
website i believe it's seventy dollars that's probably what that was
okay really simple it doesn't feel
great okay it's not like windowed or anything it's this is just a carrying
case and i guess it has a stylus sleeve also nice and tight
yeah this is just basic protection pull it out it's not going to add a lot of
bulk it doesn't have any extra pockets or buttons or anything i actually prefer
this design now if you wanted to spend more i think
up to 150 bucks for the leather ones okay this basically
just looks like like a moleskine book like a notebook almost oh yeah see that
was kind of satisfying you can see that there
uh oop there goes my pen it doesn't look like it's meant to be like tented or be
an easel but look at that like this is pretty
sci-fi uh now where does your stylus go
yeah that's okay that's okay if someone shoves you in the hallway and wants your
lunch money it's not like really on there
i don't think i would trust this honestly see how it's uh it's not flat
it's an incline so that means as you go farther on the page
the hill slope adjusts as i get to the end of the page i'm not even on it
anymore that sucks so i would use it in landscape
or i mean it's easy enough to just pop it out
get rid of that and then just put it back in at the end of class
and go this is sick but if is this 150
bucks i need to check because that's a lot so this is 69 then
there's a book version of this material that's a hundred dollars
then this is the premium leather book version and this is a hundred and
fifty us dollars
that's come on so what you can do is buy
the remarkable one they're still selling it on their
website with a folio and a stylus for 300 bucks
so considering the folio is 70 bucks and the stylish is 50 and then the thing
itself you can get all of that for 300
or even a refurbished one for 20 off of that given that they have the same software
and this like still feels fine it doesn't look as cool
and you're going to notice the RAM difference when you go to open new documents
turning pages about the same speed but when you open a new pdf it'll open
faster on the new one but if you're strapped for cash and you don't think you're going to use this a
ton buy one of those gen ones if you think
you're gonna use it a lot and you need to look cool in front of the ladies
or gentlemen this thing is pretty
sweet and slick so that's about all i have to say about it i think it's
actually pretty cool i think if this is what you want you won't be disappointed
i think i'll be selling this because my wife never used it and i'm still mad
although i can't find my kindle right now so maybe i should just be using this as an
e-reader thanks for watching ShortCircuit today guys if you like this video like subscribe to check out our
