If you want clarity then the Scribe is for you since it has 300 PPI. The Air 3C is also 300 PPI for black and white but since it has another color layer on top, the richness of the black and white colors will be a bit muted. The choice comes down to your needs- if you want an Android device and colors then the Air3C is for you. The Remarkable 2 is great at note-taking and sketching– perfect for college students who want a device to take down notes on and is easier to carry around since its the slimmest and lightest of the three.
