The reMarkable tablet isn’t crippled just overpriced. I have written on a surface it has a slick glossy frictionless screen which is not good for handwriting. The reMarkable doesn’t have all the distractions of the surface, it doesn’t do e-mail or web browsing it doesn’t pop up reminders it just does one thing quite well. There are one or two things they could have done to make it better but they are working on it.

One Note is a mess, a flashy GUI with lots of features added just to tick boxes in the advertising feature list with no thought as to how they were going to work together, the tagging is a joke and with the free version you have to keep all your data on Microsofts server, no local saves. The non free version comes as part of Microsofts new rental office suite Office 365. Software as a Sentence.
