Studies show that writing things down strengthens the connection between different areas of the brain so you’re more likely to remember information. But keeping all your notes on paper isn’t always practical. You often end up having to type things up later to share with others or search through notebooks to find what you need.
The reMarkable tablet solves this problem, giving you the best of both worlds. It’s a thin, lightweight tablet you can write on, just like a notebook. When you’re done, the notes exist digitally, so you can easily edit, share, or organize your thoughts.
Here are three reasons to consider adding one to your back-to-school shopping list.
It really feels like pen to paper
The glare-free E Ink display on the incredibly light (less than a pound), 10.3-inch gadget makes this tablet feel more like paper. Plus, the stylus is more responsive and pen-like than others you may have used before.
Mashable Light Speed
The similarities don’t end there, either. You can choose between notebook page templates like lined, blank, or US legal. Though — unlike paper — it does require charging, but the battery life is extensive, lasting up to two weeks from just one charge.
Integration with the tools you use
The reMarkable integrates with Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, allowing you to upload notes and documents directly to the tech you already use day-to-day. It also supports screen sharing, so you can display your notes and ideas in real-time during presentations or meetings.
When you buy a reMarkable 2, you also get a year-long trial of Connect, a subscription service that gives you unlimited cloud storage, a protection plan, and exclusive offers and discounts.
Write messy, read clean
When taking quick notes or getting your ideas out on paper, your writing can get messy. The reMarkable 2 converts handwriting into text, making it easier to edit, copy, or annotate. Plus, if you’re sharing notes with colleagues or peers, you can rest assured they’ll actually be able to read them.
The reMarkable 2 paper tablet ($449.00), packs, and accessories are available at Best Buy.
