Refurbished Remarkable Paper Pro bundle is hundreds off
▼ Summary
– Woot is selling a refurbished “good as new” Remarkable Paper Pro bundle, including a Mosaic Weave Book Folio and Marker Plus, for $509, compared to $649 for the same bundle on Remarkable’s site.
– The bundle comes with a 90-day warranty, which is shorter than Remarkable’s one-year warranty on its own refurbished devices.
– The Paper Pro features a color E Ink display with a front light, while the newer, cheaper Paper Pure has a black-and-white screen and no light.
– The Paper Pro’s color screen uses Gallery display technology, which has a slow refresh rate due to rendering colors instead of using filters.
– Additional deals mentioned include a Vizio 5.1 SE soundbar system for $149.99, Humble Choice games like Octopath Traveler 2, and a Marathon game trial with a Steam price of $25.59 at Fanatical.
Color E Ink tablets rarely come cheap, but a refurbished Remarkable Paper Pro bundle on Woot is changing that perception. While $509 is still a significant investment, it’s a steal compared to the $629 price tag for the tablet alone when bought new. This bundle sweetens the deal by including a Mosaic Weave Book Folio and a Marker Plus, accessories that retail for $139 combined. The catch is a 90-day warranty, which is shorter than Remarkable’s own one-year coverage on refurbished units. For context, the same refurbished bundle directly from Remarkable costs $649.
This deal brings the color E Ink experience remarkably close to the price of Remarkable’s newer Paper Pure, a 10.3-inch black-and-white note-taking tablet. Both devices share many features, but the Paper Pro offers two distinct advantages: color capabilities and a front light. The Paper Pure lacks any built-in lighting, making the Pro a better choice for low-light environments. However, the Pro’s color screen relies on Gallery display technology, which renders colors directly rather than using filters like Kaleido displays. This means a slower refresh rate, so it’s best suited for reading and note-taking rather than fast-paced tasks.
More deals to consider
If you’re looking to upgrade your home audio without breaking the bank, Vizio’s 5.1 SE soundbar system is available at Walmart for $149.99, down from $228. This 33-inch soundbar comes with wired satellite speakers and a wireless subwoofer. It mounts easily to most recent Vizio TVs, but its low profile also works well on an entertainment center. It supports Bluetooth and eARC over HDMI, so it powers on automatically with your TV. Vizio claims Dolby Atmos and DTS X spatial audio, though this is likely simulated since the speakers don’t tilt upward to bounce sound off the ceiling.
For gamers, Humble’s latest Choice subscription bundle is live. For $14.99 a month, subscribers can grab titles like Octopath Traveler 2, Citizen Sleeper 2, Indika, and Life is Strange: Double Exposure , all yours to keep even if you cancel.
