Students and professionals across the UK are increasingly swapping their traditional notepads for a sophisticated digital alternative, with reMarkable's latest writing tablets becoming a must-have tool for focused work. The brand has just launched its most significant sale of the year, offering a rare £50 discount on both the new reMarkable Paper Pro and the popular reMarkable 2 as part of a Black Friday promotion running until 2 December.
Unprecedented Bundle Discounts
This Black Friday event represents reMarkable's largest offer, providing exclusive savings on complete bundles that include the device itself, a protective folio, and an optional keyboard. It is crucial to note that these savings of £50 are exclusively available on bundle purchases, not on individual items. The core philosophy behind reMarkable tablets is to foster deep concentration by eliminating common digital distractions. The devices contain no web browser, no pop-up alerts, and no apps, creating a dedicated space for writing and reading.
Features That Mimic Paper
The reMarkable experience is built around a unique tactile feel. The brand claims the surface closely replicates the sensation of writing on real paper, while providing the organisational benefits of a connected digital system. The newly released Paper Pro model enhances this with a colour e-ink display and seamless synchronisation with desktop and mobile apps. It also offers full support for major cloud services, including Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive.
For those considering the monochrome option, the reMarkable 2 bundle is now available from £389 with the £50 discount applied when purchased with a Type Folio or Book Folio. This model is renowned for its impressive two-week battery life and allows users to annotate PDFs directly. Its capabilities have earned it a spot in The Mirror's list of 21 university essentials, with reviewer Narin Flanders stating it is ideal for on-the-go study and perfect for those who easily get sidetracked by other digital content.
Praise from Users and Journalists
The reMarkable Paper Pro bundle starts from £559 during the sale. It features an 11.8-inch colour display with a textured surface that provides gentle friction for a natural writing experience. The screen responds instantly to the marker, with minimal lag making the act of writing feel surprisingly authentic. Journalist David Bartlett from the Manchester Evening News confirmed this, expressing his surprise at how closely the device mimics the feel, sound, and result of writing on actual paper. He also praised the premium quality of the product, from its packaging to its construction.
Online customer reviews echo this sentiment, with one buyer calling the device a 'game-changer' for organisation and note-taking. While most feedback is highly positive, a small number of users noted they would prefer faster processing speeds on the reMarkable 2 model.
For shoppers exploring alternatives, other Black Friday deals are available. Argos is selling the classic Apple iPad 2025 11-Inch for £299, though it lacks the paper-like interface. Amazon has reduced the Kindle Scribe to £279.99, a device that also aims to combine reading and writing in one gadget.
