This is great, looks totally usable.
I've pursued that eInk life style for about a decade now :) My best setup is with a Dasung Paperlike, but in practice the ergonomics keeps me from using it often (too many things to carry outside and setup). What I hope to see one day is a Linux friendly laptop with an eInk display (frontlit for extra bonus [1]). I wouldn't use it as a replacement, but for quickly grabbing when spending a few hours outside. Maybe Framework or MNT Reform could do it?
[1] the Dasung has multiple settings for the backlight and it's an absolute necessity for using it indoors.
EDIT: backlit -> frontlit, silly me.
ADD: PineNote is also promising as it support BLE and thus could be used with remote keyboard/mouse.
- Jolter 4y agoMaybe you’re aware but the Boox Max Lumi has an HDMI In port, so you can use it as a secondary monitor for that laptop. https://shop.boox.com/products/maxlumi https://shop.boox.com/products/maxlumi
- FullyFunctional 4y agoMy Dasung Paperlike is a monitor also. In practice it's not a great solution for me compared to laptop (self-contained, batteries included). An external monitor (incl. the Boox) is quite impractical to lug around and set up.
- gbraad 4y agoThe boox refresh rate is not adequate for anything besides regional (text) updates. I have used the max, max2 and the mira and they have all been pisspoor for anything besides wordprocessing. VNC and RDP have mostly been better as these protocols understand regional changes more than the Toshiba HDMI converter chip they use.
- Jolter 4y agoThat is very interesting! Thanks for that info.

- FullyFunctional 4y agoLe voila ! Thanks, that could be just the thing.
