Inside reMarkable 2 — chapter 1: the concept
This is the first chapter in our Inside reMarkable 2 series, documenting the creation of reMarkable 2, the world’s thinnest tablet. Chapter 2 can be found here, and chapter 3 here.
If you took a plain white sheet of paper, and held it by one of the long sides, then dipped it slowly, carefully, just a centimeter or so into a bubbling vat of liquid technology, you might end up with reMarkable 2.
Holding up your creation as if it were a portrait, you’d now see an aluminum spine on the left side, binding the paper like a futuristic notebook. You’d be holding the next step in the evolution of paper tablets.
“I think a lot of people understood the design intention of reMarkable 1, but we wanted to raise the bar in a way, and also tell a story with the design of reMarkable 2,” says reMarkable CEO and founder Magnus Wanberg.
“While reMarkable 1 looked like a single page, by dipping it in tech you give reMarkable 2 this notebook look, and of course a notebook has multiple pages. A notebook is more than a blank page, implicitly it’s better.”
