    I spend my days in emacs and terminal emulators and I want this very badly in a laptop form factor so I can comfortably work outside.

      Yeah I’m really surprised they didn’t go with a laptop screen rather than a monitor designed to be left in a fixed place! Whoever’s first to market with a good laptop e-ink display is going to rake it in.

        I suspect that it’s simpler to make a standalone display as proof of concept. If it’s popular enough, laptops could follow. This monitor will be great for film sets & videos. No flicker!

        Framework should offer an e-ink display as a component you can drop in to their laptops.

        I have a Onyx Boox Max, an A4 b/w e-ink device. I can’t use that as a screen, due to too low refresh rate. Writing on it with it’s pen is great, but typing on it is horrible. The slight delay breaks the usability.

        I don’t know how that stacks against the remarkable 2.

            I’m fully keyboard driven in my current editor, the issue is not that. It’s that the symbols I type show up with a noticeable delay. It’s like IRL lag.

        The device looks neat, but I don’t like the “Connect costs $4.99 per month” stuff when you’ve already paid for the device. Is the device fairly locked down to force you to pay for their cloud service?

          I’ve never needed it, I have a remarkable 1 and it’s perfectly enough for my usage, I use it only as an ebook reader that can takes notes, I don’t need the fancy colors features of the new one.
