I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

I want an extremely low power laptop for programming. Slow processor, e-ink screen with a low refresh rate. I want 24 hours battery life with a solar charger to sit outside and program.

I would love to have this too. E-ink has seen some pretty high success, in e-readers and e-ink picture displays, so why not have a low-end e-ink laptop

Because the main use case for most people - browsing the internet - sucks on e-ink. Scrolling is horrible.

[–] Cupcake1972@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Typing would suck even more, the advantage of e-ink shows if you have mostly static content, not dynamic.

The delay between the key-press and the visual response is intolerable.

I'm not the only one!!??? I feel so vindicated...
