Initially, I was very ready to buy this. A small notepad that I can carry easily in meetings? Sounds great! But then I did exactly what they're probably scared of and thought about that impulse some more. Most people bring either full-on laptops or huge padded notebooks with them into meetings. Me bringing my full-sized reMarkable was never an issue, and writing on it has been glorious. Bringing a smaller device wouldn't net the benefit I initially thought it would. What I would LOVE to do with a Paper Pro is replace my BOOX Page 7 with it. I use my Page to read books and stuff on Reddit and posts on Hacker News. It works perfectly for this. However, Onyx has a very shady history with Android. They refuse to contribute to Android upstream, their ABIs are closed-source and, IIRC, their devices are stuck on older Android versions due to GMS certification issues. I trust reMarkable much more than I trust Onyx. Nonetheless, they are dead-set on making their devices purely for note taking, so I have no reason to buy this, as cool as it looks. |
