reMarkable Unveils New ‘Paper Pro’ Color Tablet Amid Growing Competition from Amazon
In response to increasing competition from Amazon, reMarkable has launched its latest innovation, the Paper Pro color tablet. Known for its focus on providing a paper-like writing experience, reMarkable is stepping up its game with this new model, designed to enhance productivity for professionals and creatives alike.
Introducing Color to the reMarkable Experience
The Paper Pro marks reMarkable’s first foray into color, expanding beyond its previous monochrome displays. This new tablet features a vibrant E Ink Kaleido 3 display, which supports a wide range of colors while maintaining the brand’s signature paper-like texture. The addition of color opens up new possibilities for users who rely on the tablet for sketching, annotating, and organizing tasks, making it an even more versatile tool for work and creativity.
Enhanced Features and Performance
The Paper Pro is more than just a color upgrade. It comes with a faster processor and increased RAM, ensuring smooth performance even with complex, multi-layered documents. The tablet also includes improved battery life, offering up to two weeks of usage on a single charge. With 64GB of storage, the Paper Pro provides ample space for notes, sketches, and documents, making it a powerful companion for users who need to stay organized on the go.
ReMarkable’s Answer to Amazon’s Kindle Scribe
Amazon’s entry into the market with the Kindle Scribe, which also supports note-taking and drawing, has put pressure on reMarkable to innovate. The Paper Pro is reMarkable’s answer, offering a richer feature set tailored to users who prioritize a natural writing experience over standard e-reading capabilities. While Amazon’s Kindle Scribe boasts integration with the vast Kindle library, reMarkable focuses on creating a distraction-free, focused workspace that appeals to professionals.
Pricing and Availability
The reMarkable Paper Pro is set to retail at $699, with pre-orders available now and shipments expected to begin in early 2024. This pricing positions the Paper Pro as a premium alternative to Amazon’s offerings, appealing to users who value the tactile, paper-like experience that reMarkable is known for. With the launch of the Paper Pro, reMarkable aims to solidify its place in the market as a leader in digital note-taking devices, offering a unique blend of traditional and digital functionalities.
