I personally don't see the point in devices like this. Why not just run an emulator on a PC or laptop? Do you really need hundreds of hours of battery life for fooling around with retro stuff? Not to mention an e-ink screen is absolutely garbage for anything besides terminal work.

Also most enthusiasts prefer the real thing anyway. They will buy a retro computer and use the software that was used on it back in the day.

The low spec might help with a digital typewriter thingy, I recall there are some pretty decent word processors on DOS
