Remarkable's new keyboard is essentially a portable typewriter for the 21st century.

No, laptops don’t weigh much these days, and yes, you can easily put a great keyboard on your iPad for a great typing computer with all-day battery life. But can you read the screen in daylight? And does the battery last two weeks? No way. But the Remarkable 2 e-ink tablet combined with the new Type Folio E-Paper Tablet Keyboard absolutely can.
“I’m thrilled with the new Remarkable e-ink typewriter because it fulfills my childhood dreams, motivates me to create with purpose, and also allows me to write at a structured pace without distractions,” Troy Portillo, director of operations at online learning platform Studypool, told Lifewire via email. “I think e-ink typewriter keyboards can be useful for anyone working from home looking to spruce up their desk, but they’re definitely not a necessary tool for success.”
Much is made of the “distraction-free” nature of writing devices that don’t run web browsers, messaging apps, and the like, but it doesn’t really make much sense. After all, you can just as easily pick up your phone, no matter what device or app you’re using, to get your work done.
