Hey guys,

I’m a writer, and for as long as I can remember I’ve used scrivener on either MacOS or Windows laptops. Now, I’m also a full stack developer, so I’ve always had a pretty nice laptop of some kind, but these were Sally Ted to whatever company I was currently working for.

I’ve recently gone self employed, and I have obviously had to return my most recent macbook, and I find myself at a crossroads. I already have a high end desktop PC which I use all the time, so buying a laptop simply for Writing on the go seems a little extreme.

My question, is would this device be suitable for a writer? I do not handwrite my work, but I can see that the remarkable has a keyboard. This question is more oriented toward formatting, structure, organisation etc.

A second question also - I like to draw (not professionally or anything) is this any good for that?

Thanks in advance!

    Can answer to the second point. I like to pencil sketch and have used the RM2 for this as well. At a hobby level, it’s pretty good, almost like pencil on paper.

    The only cons I’ve found vs paper: It lacks some of the finesse/precision of a real pencil (even with the 4096 supported pressure levels), and you can’t smudge the graphite with your finger as you might do on paper to make a fill smoother (maybe there is a function that I’m not aware of?).
