We’ve turned a corner if you can both ask these questions without everyone on reddit replying with “what is it missing that you think you will need?” In 2024, the response is, “you got 30 minutes?” 😂 I think a student version will work. With an affordable pen and case. I just use my Scribe as a digital exercise book and I chose that over rM2 because of the FOMO from using a cheaper pen and nibs (Noris Jumbo or Scribe Premium pen) and dupe case. At least with the Scribe and pen combo, it writes exactly how Amazon designed it to so I’ll never be left wondering.

What about a document camera so that you can easily make pics from books or documents?

Does the display surface wear out? When writing/drawing mostly on the middle section of the display, is the display surface in this section wearing out more than in the rest of the display? What's the display surface made of? Glass? Plastic? The magnetic functionality is no good. It collects metallic, ferromagnetic grind dust/little chips in workshop-environments. How does that thing behave with water, rain on the display? Capacitive input screens are horrible with waterdrops on them. The magnetic connection of the pen is stupid. There has to be a reliable mechanical solution. They should have an A4-version and a (reduced functionality?) A6-version for putting it in ones pocket. There *HAS* to be a handwriting OCR and a database in the background for showing all the documents fitting specified keywords, so one can build up one's own library inside that plate. How mechanically stable is that thing along it's longer side? Does it bend easily and how does the screen behave to this stress? What if that plate is exposed to sunlight in the outdoors for a prolonged time. Things laying around in the sunlight can easily heat up to 70°C, even when being white. Can this plate be encrypted? What's the start-up time? Does it have a file-explorer? Can one only input via pen or also with a finger? It's aesthetically nice being such a flat-fish but for real/mobile work-use one has to put a mechanically protecting sleeve around the fish so it would be a better solution to produce a thicker fish in the first place which is more robust on itself AND at the same time has more space inside for beefier guts like a bigger accumulator or a thin solarcell on it's back when not in use, a bigger processor and internal memory, a faster graphic "card", or even an IP67-rating for actual outdoor-use. How reliable is the palm rejection? This is absolutely crucial taht this thing does NOTHING, no gimmicks by itself like real paper with the users hand resting on it. Can the touch-functionality be turned on/off so that in off-state this thing is dead like a real piece of paper?

I'm considering buying a RM2 but I sense that RM3 will be released soon and they do not offer thw refurbished option ATM. Does anyone know any possible leaked dates for RM3 release?
