reMarkable Paper Pro |

Premium e-ink tablet is better in every way - except in price!

- Ian Osborne

This new remarkable e-ink tablet Tis the third model from the company, but it doesn't replace the remarkable 2. Instead it offers a high-end alternative that makes several advances over its acclaimed sibling.

The screen is bigger at 11.8 inches versus the remarkable 2's 10.3-inch display. This is achieved by both increasing the size of the tablet (274.1x196.6mm instead of 246x188mm) and reducing the bezels. It's a little thicker at 5.1mm (up by 0.4mm) and heavier at 525g (the remarkable 2 weighs 404g), but it's still comfortable in the hands and not much thicker than the USB-C port used to charge it. The Paper Pro tablet uses the same Linux-based reMarkable OS operating system as its stablemate, so upgraders will feel at home.

Of course, the main advance the remarkable Paper Pro makes on the remarkable 2 is its colour screen. While the regular remarkable tablet offers only black, white and greyscale, the Paper Pro can handle 20,000 colours, rendered from yellow, cyan, magenta and white. The coloured ink particles contained in each of the screen's pixels are transparent, while the white ink is reflective.

Thus colours are produced through various mixes of the three coloured inks on offer, with all three together making black.

It works well in practice. When writing, you can choose from nine colours; black, grey, white, blue, red, green, magenta, yellow and cyan.
