Remarkable pro/2 vs an ipad? (1 Viewer)

[jane1820]

i have an ipad 10th gen i got around this time last year myself and that plus an apple pencil (reminder that 10th gen uses the usb-c pencil) and a keyboard case (+ a subscription to goodnotes 6 if you're planning for that) is still less expensive than a remarkable. the thing with an ipad tho is that you won't get distracted with using other apps if you don't install any unnecessary apps cos on ipad it's all just default apps (so unless you get distracted with like the notes app it shouldn't be an issue). personally while i do think the remarkable is good for more focus, as someone who gets easily distracted myself that distraction isn't worth the extra $400. not to mention the ipad has way more features and is more versatile at a cheaper price as well

in terms of usage i bring a computer to uni as well but in lectures i directly annotate on the slides with a pencil and goodnotes and it's pretty efficient (better than copying down the lecture onto microsoft word cos i can add extra bits that the lecturer is saying etc etc + extra clarifications for myself) so i do think whatever you get academically you will be fine but now it's just considering your own preferences for performance + interface etc etc. goodnotes + notability are apps that have been well-tailored for students using the ipad for notes. some people suggested buying a "paper" screen protector and while i have friends who have them, i personally don't but there's no major difference unless you like the "feel" of writing on paper on your ipad

i downloaded notes+ its a note taking app for free
i never liked paying for apps

what gb did you get? and the wifi thing?

64gb, it's been a year and i still haven't used like half of the storage lol and i haven't paid for extra icloud storage or whatever lol
goodnotes 6 and notability etc etc work without wifi if that's what you're asking. not sure what you mean by wifi but i searched it up and this is what i get. wifi works fine on the ipad

There's not really a point for cellular. If you need wifi, you can just hotspot from your phone.
