reMarkable • Paper Pro Move
The Remarkable Paper Pro Move is here, and while this started as an unboxing, I know the software well enough from using the Paper Pro that this might actually double as a full review. Let’s dive into how it feels in the hand, how it fits into Remarkable’s lineup, and whether or not it deserves a spot in your everyday workflow.
A Name That Fits the Brand
I’ve always loved the branding around Remarkable. The “re:” prefix feels clever—like replying to an email—and “Paper Pro” is solid and professional. Adding “Move” in italics just makes sense: obvious, intentional, and stylish. Right out of the box, the design and packaging already set the tone for a product that’s about both form and function.
Unboxing Experience
I went with the full kit: the tablet, the Marker Plus stylus, and the Book Folio. This time, everything came together in a single package—no separate folio shipments like before. Inside, it feels like Apple’s approach with the Apple Watch and custom bands: nested packaging that makes the unboxing feel premium and intentional.
The folio immediately impressed me with its leather feel and magnetic design. Each piece shrinks down as you dig deeper into the packaging, building anticipation for the actual device. Even small details like the smell of the packaging (which oddly gave off berry notes?) stand out in Remarkable’s presentation.
Premium Design and Build Quality
The Move feels smaller than I expected, but not in a bad way. It’s solid, with a nice weight and thickness that matches the Paper Pro. The back has a rubberized plastic texture—one of those “nice plastics” I always talk about—that makes it feel durable and grippy. USB-C charging, magnetic alignment in the folio, and rubber feet round out the thoughtful design touches.
The Marker Plus stylus remains one of the best in the industry. The build, grip, and even the way replacement tips slide into the holder show the kind of attention to detail that sets Remarkable apart.
First Writing Experience
Booting it up, I immediately noticed the sharpness of the display and the surprise addition of a backlight. Writing feels just as satisfying as on the Paper Pro—smooth, precise, and natural. Templates like dotted grids make quick note-taking easy, and features like shape recognition and text conversion add to the functionality.
What struck me most is that this isn’t a watered-down version of the Pro. It’s essentially the same Remarkable experience, just smaller.
Who Is It For?
This is the big question. At first glance, it feels like an accessory to the Paper Pro, but the more I used it, the more it stood on its own.
Think about:
A coffee shop setup where desk space is limited.
Quick math scribbles or scratch notes you don’t need to save forever.
A sidekick device to your laptop for those fast one-off ideas.
Even niche uses like order-taking in high-end restaurants.
It’s not immediately clear who needs this device, but in practice, the Move fits into workflows that don’t require the larger Pro. It’s the perfect “handy notebook” for professionals who value premium build and intentional design.
Price and Value
The Remarkable Paper Pro Move comes with a hefty price tag, but there’s real engineering behind it. The Marker Plus alone has over 300 custom components, and the whole device feels like it’s built to last. You’re not just buying a gadget—you’re buying into a premium ecosystem designed around focused, distraction-free thinking.

Final Thoughts
The Remarkable Paper Pro Move surprised me. I went in thinking it was a niche companion to the Paper Pro, but I left seeing it as a standalone product with real use cases. The build quality, the experience, and the attention to detail are everything we’ve come to expect from Remarkable.
It’s not for everyone, but for those who see the value, it’s another remarkable (pun intended) product that delivers on both form and function.
