I'm still waiting for the technology to advance. People can't reasonably spend $1500 on the world's shittiest computer monitor, even if it is on sale.

  Dang, yeah, this is the opposite of what I had in mind I was thinking, like, a couple hundred dollar Kindle the size of a big iPad I can plug into a laptop for text-editing out and about. Hell, for my purposes I'd love an integrated keyboard. Basically a second, super-lightweight laptop form-factor I can just plug into my chonky Macbook Pro and set on top of it in high-light environments when all I need to do is edit text. Honestly not a compelling business case now that I write it out, but I just wanna code under a tree lol

    A friend bought it & I had a chance to see it in action. It is nice for some very specific use cases. (They're in the publishing/typesetting business. It's… idk, really depends on your usage patterns.) Other than that, yeah, the technology just isn't there yet.

    I think we're getting pretty close to this. The Remarkable 2 tablet is $300, but can't take video input and software support for non-notetaking is near non-existent. There's even a keyboard available. Boox and Hisense are also making e-ink tablets/phones for reasonable prices.

If that existed as a drop-in screen replacement on the framework laptop and with a high refresh rate color gallery 3 panel, then I'd buy it at that price point in a heart beat. I can't replace my desktop monitor with eink because I occasionally play video games. I can't use a 2nd monitor because I live in a small apartment. I can't replace my laptop screen with greyscale because I need syntax highlighting for programming.
