Remarkable’s refurbished bundle is an awesome deal that’s over $350 off

A lot of us here at The Verge are fans of Remarkable’s digital note-taking tablets, and right now one of its higher-end options is much cheaper than usual. The Remarkable Paper Pro normally sells for $629 on its own, but Woot is currently offering a refurbished bundle for $449.99 through July 31st. It includes the tablet, a Marker Plus stylus, and a Book Folio, saving you $368 compared to buying new. The same refurbished bundle costs $649 from Remarkable and comes with a longer one-year warranty versus Woot’s 90-day warranty.

The 11.8-inch Paper Pro offers a paper-like writing experience, along with a rich color display. Unlike the monochromatic Paper Pure —Remarkable’s latest tablet that retails for $399 — it features an adjustable front light, making it easier to read and keep working after the lights go down. It also supports (but does not include) the optional $229 Type Folio keyboard, allowing you to switch between handwriting and typing.

Writing feels remarkably smooth — more so than similar devices from Boox, Kobo, and even Kindle Scribe models — while Remarkable’s software lets you organize notebooks with folders and tags, write directly on PDFs, and quickly convert handwritten notes into typed text. Although it supports basic sketching features like layers and shading, an iPad Pro is a better tablet if you’re serious about drawing. The Paper Pro’s color display was made with productivity in mind, serving as a distraction-free experience for reviewing slide decks, marking up reports, editing text, and organizing color-coded notes.
