wouldn't make more sense to repurpose some older small Thinkpad X series liner X41, X200 or X240s, they are widely available almost for free, I find 8-10" scree

  I guess it depends on what the intended use is, over the years I used eeePC's, Acer One's and similar 10" (or smaller) laptops (yes I know that those are low cost/low performance) without much issues, they are very handy (as in very portable) to (say) occasionally access the web while traveling, troubleshoot (via usb/serial) routers/plant controllers and similar, but also did "office work" on them when needed. I would say that they are (were) a much more controllable (thanks to the keyboard, even if tiny) tablet, I got one of those "detachable keyboard" tablet (a HP Pavillion 10") a couple years ago and somehow it feels "different". I think that (besides the e-ink display which is IMHO a very nice idea) there is very little choice of smallish comparable devices, the only one I know about are the GPD ones: https://www.gpd.hk/ https://www.gpd.hk/

    I had a pocket 1 as daily driver from gpd and it was great but they dropped support and the pocket 2 I really do not like. I have a few others of them but they miss the wow factor of the pocket 1. And no eInk indeed.

  With i3 it works well. I agree that with a windows like environment it is a bit annoying.
