The rise of E Ink Tablets and Note Takers: reMarkable 2 vs Onyx Boox Note Air
I always think of the remarkable as a really odd device.
Hardware wise, it looks great, but I seldom hear good things about the software, only that it is &quot;improving&quot; for years now.<p>Also, while I think the form factor would be great for a text and graphics based computing device, they seem to invest as much energy as possible in playing down the computing angle, so that instead of having something great to do technical sketching, email or even interactive notebooks like Jupiter on, you get a really over engineered piece of paper.<p>Now, it&#x27;s pretty open, which is great, but I am not that convinced it will necessary remain so, and at that price, buying it only in the hopes of some people making better software in their free time always seems like a bigger gamble I like to take. I accept that for me ~120€ ereader, but for 5 times the price?<p>I really wish they would embrace mobile computing. Combining an e-ink tablet optimized for text with a moldable operating system like on the old xerox machines could be so incredibly good.<p>By the way, does the hardware allow connecting an external keyboard?
