 My boss just handed me a Remarkable 2 as a gift. Been playing with it for about an hour, and I can already assess that it is a “good” device that does its purpose rather proficiently. 

I would never pay the MSRP on this thing though. It ain’t THAT good.

 I’ve been eyeing these off for a while. Hard to justify the sats

 I agree. The price is obscene and the alternative is Amazon. I was willing to go without, but as a free gift, it’s nice.

 I've been interested in them for awhile. Never got to the point of buying one. Might be an excelent note-taking device.

 I couldn’t justify it at this price when I have an iPad and Apple Pencil already. I just open OneNote and take notes. 

That being said, if someone desired a device that could be used without connecting to a network, or didn’t have or want an iPad, then it *might* be worth it. 

It’d be more worth it if it cost about as much as just the stylus does. Then it’d be an obvious buy tbh. At this price… I’d rather use paper notebooks.
