- acc_297 4mo agoI think the 600 dollar price is more than double the price of the same diplay as a mass-produced product it's a price for enthusiasts of the technology and it's open source so nothing stops a bigger producer of copying the exact technology with institutional funding and manufacturing expertise
- ndiddy 4mo agoThere is no mass market product with the same specifications. The closest equivalents from established companies are the Dasung Paperlike 13K and Bigme B13, both of which cost the same or more than the Modos.
- sleepybrett 4mo agoyeah i'm waiting for a 32" mass production model for this pricepoint.
- davebren 4mo agoI wasted 2k on a color e-ink monitor that ended up being pretty much unusable. Reviews said as much but the risk was worth it to me for the chance to spend my days looking at something that doesn't feel like a screen. I believe it's an "if you build it they will come" thing especially for anyone working on a computer all day.
- unshavedyak 4mo agoI'd buy it but i want it in a laptop form or maybe tablet, or something. Being a monitor means the usefulness for me, ie being able to program outside, is kinda moot.
- throawayonthe 4mo agoi think it's a portable 13in monitor, you can plug it into your phone or something if you want

- unshavedyak 4mo agoYea it's definitely portable, it's just not a friendly formfactor for where my compute sits, where my keyboard sits, etc. If i'm in a chair at the part i'd need a literal lap-top, three components (keyboard, compute, monitor) without a frame connecting them would make that difficult.
- varun_ch 4mo agothe person who made this prototyped an e-ink framework 13 and it looks awesome... https://x.com/zephray_wenting/status/1535041457035280392 https://x.com/zephray_wenting/status/1535041457035280392
- tomaskafka 4mo agoFramework would be a win win collab!
- throwaway219450 4mo agoIt's in the same ballpark as reMarkable's Pro offerings or the Supernote Manta (each are $4-500). e-ink is expensive. I went with Supernnote for the repairability even if it cost a bit extra.
