I have one, and I used the ipad alternative that a friend has, and the ipad is just better. I haven't used the RM2 in over a year, since the functionality is just lacking compared to even a paper notebook - which is a ridiculous comparison.

The RM2 also fails at organizing: no text search in PDFs and not in notes, if you don't convert every handwritten note into text on a new page; only tags, which means if you don't add tags everywhere, you can't find anything by searching; etc. It's extremely expensive for the functionality it offers.

Don't, it's just an expensive replacement for pen and paper, and the best overall pro is that you have your notes in one place. That's it. No text search, etc. make it so much less useful than it could be.

only a scratch paper replacement. But it’s not as economical if limited to this.

That's exactly the use case though. It's a replacement for pen and paper, and the lack of functionality is seen as a feature.

My pen is misaligned with the point on the paper by about 1-2 mm often, and no amount of swiping the side of the pen, etc. could fix it so far.

Qwen3-Embedding is really good, imo. It allows me to release a global feature that would have been extremely difficult otherwise.

Nice.
