I love the reMarkable 2. I mean I really love it. Like it's my first-born child or my favorite cat. Sure, there are other e-ink tablets out there for making digital notes, but for my money, nothing quite comes as close to writing with a pad and pencil as the reMarkable 2.

There's a nice discount going on right now for Cyber Monday, with the reMarkable 2 with Marker Plus and a polymer weave folio case is $499 on reMarkable's official website (down from $578). In the UK, the price for the same configuration is £479 (was £548) using the same link.

I spent a lot of time researching handwriting tablets before I bought the reMarkable 2. It's impressively thin and lightweight, and in my experience over the years, the nano-textured e-ink display has delivered the best handwriting experience you can get without using a pad and pen. I use mine daily for making notes, sketching, writing, plotting, mind-mapping. Everything. You name it, I'll find an excuse to whip out my reMarkable.

As I say, I spent a long time researching the various kinds of handwriting tablets before opting for the reMarkable 2. And there are a number of reasons why I chose it.

For one thing, the writing experience is excellent. Coming from jotting notes and doodling on a glossy glass tablet, I was a little skeptical. But the textured e-ink screen really is as close to writing on real paper as I could imagine. As an old-fashioned scribbler, I've really appreciated this.

Second, the size. This device is impressively thin and lightweight. I've found it's the perfect complement for business travel - although I strongly advise getting either the folio case or sleeve for extra protection.

Third, the handwriting recognition is a great way to transform handwriting notes into usable text. Alright, it's hit and miss depending on how neat your handwriting it, but mine's like a spidery scrawl at times and it still picks up what I was trying to write.

Finally, "reMarkable" is probably the best pun in tech, so I couldn't resist.

All in all, I couldn't be happier with it. To my mind, it's a must-buy for professionals. Just make sure to get the case and opt for the Marker Plus pen, which has an eraser at one end just like a pencil. If you get the standard Marker, erasing your writing means you need to highlight the offending text inside a box then selecting the delete option, which disrupts the writing flow.
