reMarkable Paper Pro.
An 11.8-inch color display with premium pen input designed for writing, sketching, and thinking — with reading as a strong secondary function. Transformative for note-takers and visual thinkers.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The reMarkable Paper Pro is not for everyone. If you primarily want to read, buy the Paperwhite and save $419. But if you split time between reading and writing — if you're a student annotating texts, a writer outlining ideas, or a professional sketching diagrams — nothing else comes close to the Paper Pro's combination of beautiful reading and natural writing. The premium pen and color display are genuinely world-class. This is the device for people who think on paper.”
