Hi reddit , i am really late for this train and got few and confused info thanks to internet (2 vs 3 , official pencil vs third party etc). I am studying medicine and need to take notes in the morning during lessons or while the hospital turns. My questions are: 1 it is light to carry around? 2 can i write standing up or need a desk? 3 can i upload my notes to google drive to study the evening and review patients? 4 how sensibile is to damage and can i use a bag or h24 case? 5 is it worth and work in 2023-4 with only the base set (i do not like premium or + or other money leach stuff) 6 does it have only wifi or also LAN and bluetooth? 7 is it better to wait for v3 than the old v2? 8 please somebody that live in italy could share here some info and experience with it

    Hi. Let’s see if I can shed some light.

    1. The confusion might be because you have the hardware being named reMarkable 2, while the software is in version 3.x. Last I checked (a few months ago) there was no intention in updating the hardware any time soon, but even if there is it would be bad policy for them to let us know.

    2. it depends on what you call light, and for how long do you carry it. The hardware is about 400 grams, then it depends on what’s the cover you have for it. The type folio weights about 450g, so more than doubles it’s weight. The other 2 folios should be significantly lighter. Carrying around something like 600g is doable for hours (if you’re in decent physical condition), but you’ll probably be feeling it after a couple of hours;

    3. you can definitely write standing up, though in my opinion it’s not the most comfortable due to its weight and size;

    4. reMarkable has direct integration w/Google drive, so it shouldn’t be any problem. I’m just not sure if you need reMarkable connect for that or not;

    5. Don’t know. But I wouldn’t have one without a folio to protect it;

    6. it depends on how you use it and what you mean by it. For me the type folio didn’t made sense for how I intended to use it, but the marker plus is a must (for me);

    7. as far as I know only wifi;

    8. as I’ve said as far as I know there’s no intention to release a v3 hardware any time soon, but I don’t have any inside information;

    9. sorry, don’t live in Italy.

    Hope this helped. Feel free to ask further questions and best of luck,
