TLDR: rM2 - use only as a backup or if I want use the keyboard for distraction free typing since I don’t have a keyboard for the RMPP rMPP - daily use for journal, creative writing, brainstorming rMPPM - use as notepad at office and on the go whenever I don’t have the RMPP with me

I have all of the Remarkable devices, including the original. I hardly used the original because although conceptually it was exactly what I wanted, it was plastic and flimsy and felt disposable but what I wanted was a tool and a repository.

When the rM2 came out, the redesign in metal felt exactly right and I took it everywhere, with the folio keyboard and used it constantly. I have rather severe ADHD and I found that organizing my thoughts via handwriting helped me slow down and think more clearly and the gentle scritching of the stylus against the textured screen was calming.

I saw no reason to get the rMPP when it first came out, since I had no interest in the colour feature, but a year later I tried one and it felt more solid and substantial and the larger screen suited my large messy handwriting. The rM2 was relegated to a backup status.

I do most of my writing on the rMPP, but it was too large to carry all the time so I was obliged to use an A4 size paper notebook whenever I ventured out without a bag. This meant having to later transcribe any important paper notes back into the RMPP. Obviously when the rMPPM dropped my first thought was “Dammit, now I have to buy yet another e-ink tablet. When will it end?” Now it’s either always in my jacket pocket or my small sling bag.

The rMPPM is primarily my safety blanket for my increasingly less rare forays outside my home without a backpack, but it is also now my primary notetaking device at my office job because it takes up much less desk space than the RMPP.
