Oof. I hope the tablet is better than the website. I think I need to switch to a device with a dedicated GPU to see it right. My laptop is struggling, and it's running a 12th gen i5. They seem to be using a video provider that can't keep up either. Still, the tablet looks exciting, especially since it's based on Android. I'm curious as to how they overcame the refresh rate issue that plagues so many similar displays.

It's a transflective display. Although not E-Ink it may solve many of the same problems while having a reasonable refresh rate and less burn in.

It's strange, on an M2 with chrome I often struggle with websites like this. but this one is seamless for me.

Agreed. I don't have faith they can make a usable device if they can't make a usable web page. Never break, take over, or "fix" scrolling! Never!

  It shows, to me, that they only tried their website on a "normal" mouse with scrollwheel. My trackpad does (sub-)pixel scrolling guys! I'm used to having full control over websites. Those that take away that control feel sluggish and unprofessional (this JS snippet makes our scrolling cool!), and distracts me away from the (sparse!) content.

I wonder how well the tablet renders its own homepage.

Product pages that hijack scrolling are inexplicably popular. I hate them, to the point it kills my interest in the product. It looks like an ad, the kind I use an ad blocker for. Of course you are going to tell me, it is and ad, but come on, if I decided to scroll down, it means I am interested in the product and I want to know more. No need to hook me up with fancy visuals, it is already done, now, I want information, give me information in the way that is easiest to consume. If you want to be fancy, have a (not autoplaying!) video, but these sites are the worst of both worlds. They are not as cool as videos can be, and they do a terrible job at being informative. I guess that since Google and the likes with all their analytics do that, it means it works, but to me, it is a turn off. I was kind of interested in that tablet, now I realize I probably don't need it. I probably wouldn't have bought it anyways, but there was a little spark, and you just killed it with that website.
