Remarkable Tablet Pricing

A Remarkable tablet costs between $299 and $499 depending on the model and storage capacity you choose. The base Remarkable 2 starts at $299 for 32GB of storage, while the 64GB version runs $349. The newer Remarkable Paper Pro, released in 2024, begins at $499 for the base model. Both tablets are sold directly from Remarkable's website and through authorized retailers.

The price covers the tablet itself, but does not include the stylus or other accessories. The Marker stylus (the basic pen) costs $129 separately, while the Marker Plus (which includes an eraser and shortcut buttons) costs $179. A protective case or folio typically runs $40 to $80 depending on the material and design. If you want the full writing experience out of the box, budget an additional $170 to $260 beyond the tablet price.

Storage Options and How They Affect Price

Storage capacity is the main factor that changes the tablet's base price. The Remarkable 2 comes in two sizes: 32GB for $299 and 64GB for $349. Most people find 32GB sufficient because the tablet stores documents as PDFs and note files, which take up far less space than photos or videos on a phone. A year of daily note-taking typically uses only a few gigabytes.

The Remarkable Paper Pro, the company's newer model, currently ships in one storage configuration at $499. Remarkable has not yet released a lower-storage version of this model, so you cannot reduce the price by choosing less storage. If storage capacity matters to your budget, the Remarkable 2 at $299 remains the more affordable entry point.

What Comes in the Box

When you receive a Remarkable tablet, the box contains the device itself, a USB-C charging cable, and a quick-start guide. It does not include a stylus, protective case, or screen protector. This is why the advertised price ($299 or $499) is lower than the total cost if you want to write on the tablet when ready.

The tablet works without a stylus—you can read documents, take notes with your finger, and navigate menus. However, writing or drawing with your finger is imprecise and uncomfortable for extended use. Most buyers purchase a stylus within days of receiving the tablet, which is why retailers often bundle the tablet and Marker together at a slight discount.

Stylus and Accessory Costs

Remarkable sells two stylus options. The Marker is the standard pen at $129. It has a single button for switching between pen and eraser modes, and it writes with the same pressure sensitivity and latency as the more expensive version. The Marker Plus costs $179 and adds an eraser button, a back button for navigation, and a shortcut button you can customize. For most users, the standard Marker is sufficient.

Cases and folios range from $40 for a basic sleeve to $80 for a leather folio with a built-in stand. Screen protectors cost $20 to $30 and reduce glare and paper-like texture slightly. A Book Folio (a case that doubles as a stand) runs $79 and is popular with people who read on the tablet regularly. None of these accessories are required, but they extend the tablet's lifespan and improve usability.

Subscription Costs Beyond the Hardware Price

The Remarkable tablet itself has no subscription fee. You can read, write, and organize documents without paying monthly charges. However, Remarkable offers an optional Remarkable Plus subscription at $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. This subscription adds cloud backup, document organization tools, and the ability to sync across devices.

The subscription is not required to use the tablet. Many users store documents locally and transfer them to their computer via USB or email. If you want automatic cloud backup and the ability to access your notes from a phone or computer, the subscription becomes worthwhile. Calculate whether $10 per month fits your budget if you plan to rely on the tablet for important documents.

Where to Buy and Price Consistency

Remarkable tablets are sold directly from Remarkable.com and through authorized retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and specialty electronics stores. Prices are the same across all official channels—$299 for the Remarkable 2 (32GB), $349 for the Remarkable 2 (64GB), and $499 for the Remarkable Paper Pro. The company does not offer discounts on the hardware itself, though retailers occasionally bundle the tablet with a stylus at a small savings.

Refurbished Remarkable tablets sometimes appear on the secondary market or through Remarkable's own refurbished store at a lower price, typically 15 to 20 percent below the new price. These devices carry the same warranty as new units. If budget is tight, checking for refurbished stock can lower your entry cost, though availability varies.

Comparing Total Cost to Your Needs

The true cost of owning a Remarkable tablet depends on what you buy beyond the base device. If you purchase only the tablet and the standard Marker stylus, your total is $428 ($299 + $129). If you add a case and screen protector, you reach $470 to $480. The Remarkable Paper Pro with a stylus and case costs $650 to $700.

Compare this to a traditional notebook and pen (which cost almost nothing but do not sync or back up) or a full-featured iPad with Apple Pencil (which costs $600 to $1,200 but runs apps beyond note-taking). The Remarkable tablet sits in the middle: more expensive than paper, less expensive than a general-purpose tablet, and designed specifically for reading and writing without distractions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Remarkable tablet without buying a stylus?

Yes, you can navigate, read, and take notes with your finger. However, finger input is imprecise and uncomfortable for extended writing or drawing. Most owners purchase a stylus within the first week because writing by hand is the tablet's main purpose.

Is there a cheaper Remarkable tablet model?

The Remarkable 2 at $299 is the least expensive current model. Remarkable discontinued the original Remarkable (Gen 1) several years ago. If you find older models on the used market, they may cost less, but they lack features of the newer versions and may have limited warranty support.

Do I need the Remarkable Plus subscription?

No. The subscription is optional and adds cloud backup and device sync. You can use the tablet fully without it by storing documents locally and transferring them to your computer via USB cable or email.

What is the difference between the Remarkable 2 and the Paper Pro?

The Paper Pro is newer and has a larger screen (10.7 inches versus 10.3 inches), faster processor, and improved pen technology. It costs $200 more. The Remarkable 2 remains a solid choice if you want to spend less and do not need the newest features.

Are there sales or discounts on Remarkable tablets?

Remarkable rarely discounts the hardware directly. Occasionally retailers bundle the tablet with a stylus or case at a small savings. Refurbished models cost 15 to 20 percent less than new units and carry the same warranty.
