I am hoping that someone (maybe me!) will make a "write/program in the sun"-friendly e-ink Linux computer, A5 sized.
Use cases: Patio bars in Austin Texas, sunny Medellin Colombia, outside plaza cafes in Barcelona.
Thank you!

The benefit I think people don't understand about these low-fi writing setups is that it's much harder to _idly goof off_. There are times where I truly want to read or write, but if I'm on a computer it's too easy for muscle memory to kick in and start typing one of many distracting URLs into the address bar. My tablet is a much more constrained experience, and the screen is monochrome; last time I sat down to write on it, I actually had Google Docs open for three or four hours straight.
Everything gets slowed by it. Even typing fluently feels rough at less than 1Hz.
We need a biiiiig improvement in e ink displays before any products like what you describe could be good.
Less expensive: PineNote.
Pair with a Bluetooth keyboard.
Well, tariffs have changed that calculation lately...
