reMarkable is a really interesting product, that probably costs x2 what I would be willing to pay. $1058 (Canadian) for the tablet, pencil/eraser and new folio keyboard. I paid less for my 2018 iPad Pro, which remains one of the greatest Apple purchases ever.

@DaveyCraney @kaa This is fascinating. First, I had no idea the exchange rate between the UK and Canada was in this state; I put together the full bundle and it comes to £587.

I had a thought, and this is probably a forgotten memory, but I did manage to quickly confirm it. This is a European company... now that is an unusual situation on the social web. Usually, as somebody from outside of North America I am left with disappointment at how horribly expensive the recommended nice things end up being.

FWIW the comparison with the iPad Pro is impossible unless you're in North America — that Apple device will never be that cheap — so, uh... tough luck? Welcome to our world!

@DaveyCraney Wait, you're here as well... so you're not comparing it to the iPad Pro in particular then?

@SimonWoods Ha! Hadn’t realised they were Europe based. Ok they’re dead to me :)

@kaa @SimonWoods That price is ridiculous! It's not cheap in € (worth it!) but that Canadian price is unreal. I guess that's our European way to give back, what we always get from companies across the ocean 😉 I recently compared iPhone prices, and it's also quite surprising to me how much of a difference there is, the other way around.
