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.
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.
