> something like a Pi Zero sized 68k machine capable of running ... hooked up to an e-ink display in an ultrabook case would make for a very compelling writing/focus machine I had a similar idea for a portable writing/focus sub-notebook, except using Linux rather than MacOS. At the time, e-ink displays weren't good enough, but now they are nearly there in terms of refresh rate. I was thinking of an appliance that would mostly be used for editing text, a A5-format or 10" sub-notebook with a very good keyboard and e-ink screen, and potentially one-week long battery life (due to a low-power CPU and the fact that e-ink doesn't consume electricity unless there is a change). The iPad isn't a competitor to this in the sense that it has no or no good keyboard and a poor screen for writing/reading/editing text professionally (glossy, no e-paper quality).
