The reMarkable Paper Pure tablet allows you to use pen and paper in a digital age

The 10.3-inch paper-style tablet aims to give its users the sense they are writing directly on paper, doodling away on ideas before delivering them to work pals digitally

Fans of pen and paper are expected to clamour for a new minimalist black-and-white tablet that mimics old-school writing.

The reMarkable Paper Pure looks and feels like a mix between an iPad, real paper and a Kindle e-reader.

But its interaction with the cloud and day-to-day computer usage really lift it above both for folk seeking a device that allows for distraction-free thinking, note-taking and brainstorming with a pen in hand.

This 10.3-inch paper-style tablet aims to give its users the sense they are writing directly on paper, doodling away on ideas and thoughts.

These can then effortlessly be transformed into digitised notes, graphs and graphics to share across well-used everyday software, like Google Docs.

We’ve given the device a run and it’s effortlessly easy to set up, impressive to use, feels like paper texture and is simple to connect to your usual digital services.

We found ourselves more likely to jot down thoughts, ideas and play around with the device than, say, a normal computer tablet.

And by transforming those ideas into digital images and scripts, you are then able to take them into the workplace to open those thoughts to the wider collaborative.

With Connect, reMarkable’s paid-for subscription service, you can use dozens of built-in note-taking templates to write on and then turn into word docs.

And you can import documents from Microsoft Word and OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive to turn them into paper tablet-native text documents, perfect for reading and marking up with a pen.

Once you’ve written your masterpiece, you can turn handwriting and sketches into an editable, sharable web note in a browser.

And you can even use AI to convert handwriting into text, summaries and suggests action items.

Words can then be sent to communications service like Slack to get those thoughts across to your work buddies near instantly via a wi-fi connection. You can link it to Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook, and the tablet can create meeting notes prefilled with information with a tap, reducing time spent preparing for meetings.

Mats Herding Solberg, Chief Product Officer at reMarkable, said: “Technology is pushing us to produce faster and faster, but when we need to create, we still pick up pen and paper.

”That’s why we made reMarkablePaper Pure. It closes the gap between how we think and work in a way only a paper tablet can.

“It’s a blank canvas where you can capture your thoughts freely, then easily move them to your laptop, and back again, without interrupting your workflow.”

It’s not cheap at £359, but it’s the lowest-entry cost-wise in the firm’s series of tablets and the main cutback here is the black and white only display.

The device itself is made of 38% recycled materials, this includes 100% of the lithium and cobalt in the battery, which lasts up to three weeks on a charge.

You get a crisp white paper-like display where the digital ink appears in just 21 milliseconds from you in-the-box ReMarkable pen.

Navigating, zooming, and turning pages is speedy thanks to the ability to interact with the display using hand touch too.

And at just 360g and 6mm thin, with grooved sides inspired by a stack of paper, reMarkable Paper Pure looks and feels like a never-ending notebook.

The tablet is held together with screws and snaps, not glue, making it easy for professionals to repair.
