Just a clarification, this is actually the previous gen version, where the keyboard area was intended to be a digitizer for handwriting and pen input.

The new one with e ink keyboard is called the Yoga Book C930 and should be available later this year. Lenovo's mobile sites are a mess so I can't seem to find a page for it at the moment but there are many video previews of the device.

Previous generation X1 had OLED screen option which seems to have been discontinued.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be bright enough for solid outdoor use.

p.s. one trick to use outdoors is to change your editor theme from dark to bright.

> Windows, so not a full OS

Thumbs-up! I get what you mean but this sounds brilliant :-)))

Perhaps, if you make it black-on-white and if your diplay is not glossy. Even using a classic gray-on-black terminal becomes hard when the sun shines in my window (I have curtains but not thick enough, I'd rather install jalousie but some members of my family resist this for aesthetic reasons) while I actually love sunlight and fresh air and could enjoy working outdoors during sunny days if only the display would stay readable.

> There was a company called Pixel Qi that offered e-ink screens for laptops.

They were transreflective LCD's, not e-ink.
