I have one, and I used the ipad alternative that a friend has, and the ipad is just better. I haven't used the RM2 in over a year, since the functionality is just lacking compared to even a paper notebook - which is a ridiculous comparison.
The RM2 also fails at organizing: no text search in PDFs and not in notes, if you don't convert every handwritten note into text on a new page; only tags, which means if you don't add tags everywhere, you can't find anything by searching; etc. It's extremely expensive for the functionality it offers.
Don't, it's just an expensive replacement for pen and paper, and the best overall pro is that you have your notes in one place. That's it. No text search, etc. make it so much less useful than it could be.
Remarkable 2. For me, it's worse than pen and notebook, since I can search effectively in neither and the writing experience in the latter is much better. Tags aren't a replacement for search in notes, the screen is quite imprecise at times, the cloud sync is paid, and a lot of the features that would make it more than a paper notebook are missing imo (better overview over my notes and annotations, lack of infinite canvas for PDF annotation means I have less space in the PDF than with a printed one, etc.).
> Back to the topic at hand: Tipping is a ridiculous notion that the wealthy can see through, while the rest of us are too brainwashed to objectively analyze
Oh yes, the wealthy are superior to us unwashed masses in every way. How I wish I could see through and objectively analyse, but my bank account won't allow that.
