I've owned one of these devices long enough to be grandfathered in when they introduced their subscription plan. I have an odd relationship with it. It's very expensive, and I don't really get enough use out of it for the price I paid. However, everytime I do use it I absolutely love it. The hardware is just so good, it really is a joy to use.
I still consider the software a bit second rate, but it does seem to keep improving.
sad that this guy could've continued doing good CS research as assoc prof but instead is compelled to do youtube and sell productivity courses of the three same rehashed ideas ad infinitum.
It’s even sadder that you feel the need to comment on someone else’s career as if you decide what is important or not in terms of human work and worth.
Cal has applied systematic and algorithmic thinking to the messy world of productivity annd life, and teaches unique frameworks to this day about how to pursue a life that is eudamonious and well lived.
It’s also distressing that you think that mathematics research is more important than your fellow man having a fulfilling career.
His non-academic work is an unbroken continuation/extension of work he started as an undergraduate student writing about productivity for students before he was ever a researcher.
Your comment reads like he was just another researcher searching for gigs to supplement a meager academic income instead of being a human being with more interests than just his primary line of work.
The writing latency isn't bad at all. It honestly feels like writing on paper with a really good pen. Latency is noticeable if you're actively looking for it, but it doesn't affect writing at all.
The quality though isn't ideal. All of the Remarkable devices have terrible issues with screen calibration, so the line you're writing doesn't match where the stylus is. Also lines tend to be jagged or fuzzy.

Not worth paying extra for.
