reMarkable's Paper Pro tablets are still $100 off — and they're the closest we've ever felt to writing on real paper
Both are great and discounted right now, but which one should you choose?
For my money, the reMarkable digital E-ink tablets are the best around - with a more life-like pen and paper writing feel than the Kindle Scribe and other rivals. Our notebook-loving hardware editor uses his reMarkable daily and adores the scratch of against nib the screen.
And both Paper Pro models have got a $100 discount, with the 11.8in reMarkable Paper Pro now $699 (was $799) and 7.3in reMarkable Paper Pro Move now $469 (was $569) at Best Buy. They first dropped during last week's 60th Anniversary Sale, but I've just checked, and they're still discounted, despite the sale ending. I'm not sure how long they'll stay at this price, though.
August 25. I've checked prices for both models and they're still $100 off, even though Best Buy's anniversary sale had ended. Well worth checking out at this price, reMarkable tablets don't go on sale that often.
The Paper Pro combines an 11.8-inch 2160 x 1620 color display with 64GB storage, Wi-Fi and USB-C charging, with the Marker Plus and Premium Leather Book Folio included.
Paper Pro Move features a 7.3-inch 1696 x 954 color e-ink display, 64GB storage, 2GB RAM, USB-C charging, Wi-Fi and up to two weeks of battery life.
Why we recommend it
Both devices solve the same problem in very different ways. In his four-star review of the Paper Pro, our expert Philip said: "This is a luxury tablet, so it’s the most expensive in its class, but it feels as premium as it looks, especially if you buy a nice Book Folio." He also called it an "incredibly well-built device, and it has a premium finish and design that is truly… impeccable."
In his five-star review of the Paper Pro Move, Philip said it was "the rare gadget that gives me exactly what I wished for, nothing more and nothing less." He went on to add that: "The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is a thin and very lightweight writing tablet that feels incredibly solid for its subtle heft. I had no trouble holding the tablet in the palm of my left hand and writing comfortably across the whole page with my right. Then I just tucked the tablet into the back pocket of my jeans."
Price context & historical value
Best Buy has slashed $100 off both models. The reMarkable Paper Pro drops from $799 to $699, while the Paper Pro Move falls from $569 to $469. We haven't seen either of these exact bundles sell for less.
The identical saving doesn't make them equally expensive, of course. The Move remains $230 cheaper and is the more accessible option if you mainly want handwritten notes on the go. The full-size Paper Pro costs considerably more, but you're paying for its much larger 11.8-inch display and much larger working area.
Which should you buy?
✅ Buy the reMarkable Paper Pro if...
You want the larger canvas. The 11.8-inch display gives you far more room for handwritten notes, detailed sketches and full-page PDFs, so it makes the most sense for creators, students and professionals who expect to spend long periods working on the device.
It's also the better option if you're trying to replace a conventional notebook or pad on your desk. The larger screen makes it easier to see more of a document at once.
✅ Buy the reMarkable Paper Pro Move if...
Portability matters more than screen size. At 7.3 inches and 8.16 ounces, the Paper Pro Move is much easier to carry around and is small enough to slip into a bag or even a large jacket pocket.
It still gives you handwriting-to-text conversion, searchable handwritten notes, cloud syncing and a paper-like color display and a two-week battery life.
The Catch: What to know before you buy
Neither of these should be treated as a conventional Android or iPad-style tablet. Their lack of apps and distractions is central to the appeal, but it also means they can't be used for tasks like video streaming, games, social media or apps.
The choice between them really comes down to screen size versus portability. If PDFs, sketches and large pages are important, the Paper Pro's bigger display is worth having. If you primarily take notes in meetings or while on the go, the Paper Pro Move is a better choice and much easier to carry.
