Writing notes with a pencil. I think they make this pretty clear. Anything outside of that is either a bonus or out of scope for the device.

Don't use the cloud sync and instead manually sync things between your own hardware, encrypt at rest if you feel like it.
> e-ink is great in bright environments [...] And who is going to use their ReMarkable at the beach?
Living in a country with lots of sunlight and as a person who sometimes visits the beach, this is exactly what I want.
One of the main variables I look at when I buy laptops is "How well can I read from the display when I'm in sunlight?", I'm sure I cannot be the only one who likes to sit outside with my computer, or have windows that let in sunlight.
I don’t think anybody gets real work done at the beach, and if you like to work outside you can use a laptop in the shade without issues. And if I have to sync my notes manually it’s easier to use pen and paper and snap a picture afterwards. The use-cases for this tablet seem contrived to me.

Writing notes is not just about doing "real work"...
> if you like to work outside you can use a laptop in the shade without issues
The ambient brightness does matter, even if you put the laptop in the shade, having anti-glare and a display that works well is really necessary in those cases. If you haven't tried it before, I urge you to try it, because it seemingly works differently than you think.

Within your parameters of what "real usage" looks like, then yeah. But if you take a look at the real world, you see there are plenty of use cases.
