Absolutely not. I'm specifically looking at 17" laptops nowadays and while 75% keyboards are still kind of nice, I'd not want to bother myself with keyboards with even fewer keys, unless this is meant as a vacation laptop? Additionally I'd rather not have to deal with closed source graphics on such a device, I don't have to worry about software updates on my Intel Linux laptop or my Nvidia Windows console, I don't want to have to start thinking about kernel versions on a vacation laptop - this is probably not an issue for people who use Red Hat or Ubuntu with their backports kernels. As for the eink I think it's great for watches and reading devices, but for me low input lag is important in laptops.
But if disaster strikes and I have to code and email in the middle of a wilderness not too disconnected from cellular and that's not too cold or too humid I'll be glad if such a device exists.
