From the video, it looks to me like they're pressing the stylus fairly hard on the tablet, I wonder what's up with that.

Also, I wish they were able to use an e-paper with a faster refresh rate, like ClearInk claims to be (see e.g. https://youtu.be/kE_byDwLjxk?t=34).

That said, it seems to look quite attractive as is already.

I do pointed pen calligraphy and various penamanship styles and I can tell you that the remarkable tablet requires VERY, VERY little pressure to register a stroke. It takes almost no modification for me to get the fine delicate linework required for Spencerian for example.

Thanks for the report, that's a relief then!

I love all the comments like this. It sounds great. But they all reference such tactile experiences that I’m left thinking, “huh, I might buy this, IF I could try it out.”

Where does one do that?

At home. They have a 30-day returns policy with free return shipping if you don't like it.

I have used the original, you can choose pen modes with varying degrees of pressure sensitivity. This allows you to take notes easily with whatever level of pressure you want, but also switch to a different pen if you want to draw a textured picture.

The lightest of touches are registered by device. I suppose if you choose the wrong pen mode for the immediate task you might have to push hard?
