      Yeah like the other commenter said it’s a Remarkable 2.

      I’ve had it for about 2 years. Use it every day. Still going strong. Previously I had notepads everywhere constantly rifling through them.

      At the time I bought mine all cloud functionality was free, but since then they’ve introduced additional cloud stuff with a subscription which is free for me. I personally think it’s fair enough but they lost a lot of their die hard followers. You don’t need the subscription you just don’t get those functions. Probably the only feature I use which is behind the paywall would be screen share. During a video call or teams meeting I can cast the remarkable screen to my desktop so I can draw diagrams. I do this all the freakin time.

          Although the Keychron keyboards with Gateron reds are still a LOT louder than a membrane keyboard, like a Microsoft 600 or something.

          I mean, I love my Keychrons, but if silence was a priority you’d really want a keyboard designed for low noise.

            Silence is not really a priority, I just don’t want to be obnoxiously loud.

            There’s signs up in this library saying that it’s not a quiet area, noise is ok and expected. There are people on the phone / video calls et cetera.

    Your wooden wrist rest is completely flat? The setup looks nice though, I miss those days at the library with the t420 I had and loved at the time!

      It’s not completely flat, looks like about 8mm on the front edge to maybe 15mm on the back edge.

          I’ve never found it so.

          I often find it a little small tbh. Can’t fit a lot of words on a page. Maybe a third of the content of a4 pad and pen, mostly because I tend to write bigger.

          Edit: sorry I thought your comment was about the remarkable. FWIW I don’t find the wrist rest too large.

      Yeah I’m actually trying to make it a regular Wednesday thing with a group of friends.
