Are you considering OLED as well? The Dell XPS has that as an option and it is a serious draw, especially for coders who stare at a mostly-black screen all day.

I wonder if eink would be feasible.

  > I wonder if eink would be feasible. It would depend on your meaning. If you mean taking a device like a Dasung or a Onyx and connecting to the laptop and using it as another screen, then sure, that should work fine. If you mean taking out the LCD and popping in a raw eink panel, then no because they have different interfaces. Speaking of which, I don't see any clear specification on frame.work for the LCD connector or power specs. I see they wrote on their blog. " We don’t currently have plans for alternate displays, but we’ve designed the display to be easy to replace and the display connector on the mainboard to be able to support a broader range of possible displays. It’s unlikely we would go lower resolution in this form factor, but I agree there could be an interesting case for a display resolution that works at 2x scaling (at the tradeoff of battery life). " But I couldn't easily find on their website the info for what type of connector and what type of power is delivered to it.

    We use a relatively common 40-pin I-PEX connector. We’ll be publishing more detail on it as we have time to.

@pabs3, there is actually a 4:3 13.3" e-ink panel that may be possible to fit, but it would be challenging to interface. On OLED, nothing we can share yet, but there are certainly benefits to OLED panels.

  I would buy one just to get the eink screen on a laptop!

  +1 for eink. Maybe something to do with collaboration with Dasung.

  My god, if you can make an e-ink display work it would be an insta-buy for me.

  This might be a bit much, but if you offer an e-ink with the same interface as the laptop, it would be very cool to have an external usb-c case for it. So people can choose which display for their "main" monitor, and have the other one as an external portable monitor.
