reMarkable's New 'Paper Pro Move' Takes on iPad Mini
reMarkable's New 'Paper Pro Move' takes on iPad Mini with a fresh approach to compact tablets. Announced today, the Paper Pro Move is a smaller, more portable version of reMarkable’s minimalist E Ink device. Designed for focus and writing, it’s reMarkable’s direct answer to Apple’s popular iPad mini.
A Compact Design With Paper-Like Writing
The Paper Pro Move features a 7.3-inch Canvas Color display powered by E Ink Gallery 3 technology. This gives it richer colors and a paper-like texture that’s ideal for note-taking. At just 7.7 inches tall, 4.24 inches wide, and 6.5 mm thick, the device weighs only 235 grams—noticeably lighter than both its bigger sibling, the Paper Pro (2024), and Apple’s iPad mini.
By comparison, the iPad mini measures 7.69 inches tall, 5.3 inches wide, and 7.2 mm thick, with a weight of 293 grams. For users who prioritize portability and a pen-on-paper feel, reMarkable’s latest move could be a game-changer.
Powerful Yet Focused Performance
Despite its smaller form factor, the Paper Pro Move keeps the essentials. It comes with 64GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and a dual-core 1.7 GHz ARM Cortex-A55 processor. Its 2,334 mAh battery targets up to two weeks of use, outlasting most tablets.
The software is optimized for productivity, with a movable toolbar, enhanced gesture navigation, handwriting search, and even Slack and Quick Share integration. It’s not built for heavy apps or entertainment, but for distraction-free writing and reading, it’s hard to beat.
iPad Mini vs. Paper Pro Move
Apple’s iPad mini remains a powerhouse with its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, A17 Pro chip, Apple Pencil support, and iPadOS ecosystem. It’s a multi-purpose device suited for apps, browsing, cameras, and creative workflows.
The Paper Pro Move, however, is laser-focused on a specific audience: professionals, students, and readers who want a dedicated writing device with low eye strain and ultra-long battery life. It supports PDFs and ePub documents but intentionally skips app stores and digital distractions.
Who Should Choose the Paper Pro Move?
If you’re looking for an iPad mini alternative that prioritizes clarity, writing comfort, and extended use without the temptation of apps, the Paper Pro Move might be the right fit. It’s not for everyone, but for minimalists and note-takers, it fills a niche Apple hasn’t targeted.
