Sometimes I would like to have a small laptop with black and white screen or maybe 8 bit color that would have extreme (measured in days) or almost unlimited battery power (solar cell?). Something that would have a C compiler for happy hacking, though I would like to have a Linux kernel on it. I am not sure about connectivity though.
We made huge efficiency and battery chemistry gains, but software is lacking. Though it would be probably a quite expensive device that only a few want.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoYou mean something like the Onyx Boox Tab Ultra ? https://ewritable.com/tablets/onyx-boox-tab-ultra/review/ https://ewritable.com/tablets/onyx-boox-tab-ultra/review/ Not sure about the battery life : since it's one of the higher powered e-ink tablets, it can probably only last a few days ?

- hawski 2y agoVery nice concept, but I'm afraid this device running on a MediaTek SoC will never run a main line Linux so I expect to see 2-3 years of support. I would prefer for the device to be inherently hackable and that requires running on a main line kernel.
