So this is the Norris Digital EMR stylus and it's shaped like a pencil. I think someone who's really used to using quality artist pencils. I was really interested to see if this would get me even closer to that feeling of using pencil on paper which is what the remarkable aims to do. It's a really attractive looking product and it's just going to hopefully enhance something that I really enjoy using. But I don't love the less than premium plastic feel of the original marker that you get along with the remarkable paper tablet. Straight out of the box you can feel it's got that hexagonal feel and the reason pencils have that hexagonal feel is so that you can rotate them slightly as you draw lines and this allows you to keep a consistent line thickness. But that's kind of redundant here so it is just a matter of the way it feels in your hand being like a normal pencil. Now I'm just trying to show the camera here that the nib that came in the actual pencil slightly got a chisel edge. I don't think that's a major issue and the nib work just fine and there are two spare replacement nibs actually in the packet. But once again the nib is the one reason why this isn't as good and experienced as using the remarkable marker. And unfortunately unlike the LAMI EMR pen where you can replace the nib with the remarkable nib, unfortunately you'll start with these Norris digital nibs. So how does it actually feel? I'm going to try doing some drawings with it on my remarkable. Because I think that the remarkable though is a pretty simple device has an amazing drawing experience. There's very little customization and there's a very limited feature set. There's just something about drawing on that screen with the pencil tool which is so close to pencil and paper that it feels very very natural if you're used to drawing in pencil and paper. And I think this actually makes up in a way for the lack of colour on the screen. I was talking about this with one of my colleagues in the art department and she said, well, colour's overrated. As a sketchbook I'm growing to absolutely love this device. So I'm going to copy a quick sketch here. I'm going to do a drawing by Mika and well my first go didn't turn out right so I'm just going to bin that one and move on. So with my second go with this drawing and I just took my time and constructed it a little bit more carefully. And the pencil itself it does feel nice in the hand but the nib doesn't feel all that great on the actual tablet. It's not a bad feeling, it doesn't have like a tap tap with glass feeling. Like you get with the apple pencil on an iPad, it's almost more like a paintbrush. It's quite a smooth feeling and it doesn't feel like a pencil or it doesn't feel rough like the friction of pencil and paper but actually maybe it makes a bit more sense using the paintbrush tool which I've switched to here. And this gives me an idea of what could be a really cool next step for the remarkable paper tablet or devices like that. Which is if you could actually have a range of styluses and have the maps to different pens, different pen tools within the drawing app. If I could have one stylus which was registered to be a paintbrush and another stylus registered to be a pencil for example and I could just pick them up and put them down and change between those really naturally just as if I was drawing on pen and paper. So I'm much happier with this the second go. I think this is a really quite a nice drawing and I really enjoyed doing this on the remarkable. So that brings me to the next question which I hear and read quite a lot on forums discussing the remarkable. If pencil and paper is the gold standard that we want our digital devices to behave like, then why aren't we just happy using pencil and paper? Let me know your thoughts in answer to that one below because I'm really interested to know what you think. Do you think that this is well worth actually having the option of working with layers for example of working with different tools on the same digital device? Do you think actually it's just having the undo button which is really really useful? And that's the way I feel when I'm actually using pencil and paper I kind of miss that undo button. Thanks for watching this video and stay tuned for more I have a video coming up where I compare the iPad and pencil and paper and the remarkable tablet for drawing. I'm also going to come back with another comparison and another discussion of using the layers here which is something you definitely cannot do on paper. And also the functionality that you can do on the remarkable which is to export as an SPG and then edit that in a digital editing software. Because you can get the full vector information out from this machine and continue to work in layers with colors in your computer or on your other devices. And as for the Stadler yes I do like it as an alternative to the remarkable marker but no I haven't used it as the permanent replacement and I think that it's just because of the time and effort they've gone into developing that nib so it does feel like a pencil on a piece of paper. It's cool though it looks like a real pencil. So go on and hit that like button and subscribe to see more of drawing on this amazing tool. And this is a preview of another video where I'm going to talk about using layers and I'm going to talk about editing the SPG vector graphics format.
