Hey guys,

I'm a writer, and for as long as I can remember I've used scrivener on either MacOS or Windows laptops. Now, I'm also a full stack developer, so I've always had a pretty nice laptop of some kind, but these were Sally Ted to whatever company I was currently working for.

I've recently gone self employed, and I have obviously had to return my most recent macbook, and I find myself at a crossroads. I already have a high end desktop PC which I use all the time, so buying a laptop simply for Writing on the go seems a little extreme.

My question, is would this device be suitable for a writer? I do not handwrite my work, but I can see that the remarkable has a keyboard. This question is more oriented toward formatting, structure, organisation etc.

A second question also - I like to draw (not professionally or anything) is this any good for that?

Thanks in advance!

If keyboard is the big thing, I suggest a FreeWrite. They're wonderful. Word-count goes way up. (I own the Traveller.)

This annoyingly looks exactly what I'm after... Only downside is I could get a moderate laptop for the same price that does more - I appreciate it's specifically made to ease distractions but the price tag seems mental!
