There's something quite unsettling about this, in that the epaper panel is potentially a very useful second monitor designed in the same style as the main monitor, and it could be detachable, freely re-orientable, etc.
But in fact it's totally integrated, following the current anti-modular, if not anti-user philosophy in most consumer hardware, and ends up being a bit of a frankenstein.
Surely the market for each separate monitor. especially the epaper sidekick, would be greater than this weird integrated combo?
