im a huge writing and typing nerd so of course I preordered this
Experience the seamless blend of nostalgic charm and modern functionality with the BYOK, designed to facilitate distraction-free writing through Bluetooth keyboard input, syncing over WiFi, and an array of efficient features that maximize focus and productivity.
@gintoxicating That's just a transflective #eInk screen with memory...
I just wished it would just work with like a #USB #Keyboard and save txt files to a #microSD and have actual screen space - make it A4 or at least fit 80x25 characters!
@gintoxicating that's one of these shitty type devices that I gladly avoided...
YIKES!
@kkarhan it’s not terrible except for so many things about it, uh
I like the idea of single purpose things like this to keep me on task. And on the nice side the batteries are user replaceable (or this thing would have stopped working a decade ago or longer)
@nestor @kkarhan I thought so too but the more I think about it this makes more sense for a WRITING device where latency matters a lot more over reading
I have a lot of eink devices and typing on them isn’t my favorite because my brain registers that small delay and gets annoyed at it haha
Still not a huge deal but if the display looks good enough I’d prefer better latency over an improved display I think
But the lcd one can’t look like a calculator display lol
@gintoxicating @nestor Granted, there are #eInk screens that can do like 5-10 fps...
It's just that classic LCDs have economies of scale that makes them cheap...
Cuz only few people will pay €489 - €700 for an #eInk screen with HDMI input...
@kkarhan @gintoxicating Yep, it is all about the different ways to refresh the screen, a trade between speed and artifacts.
However, if the cost of this small screen is competitive against an eink reader with android (to pick a writing app and use tan external keyboard) it could make sense.
I say this with full respect for your choice and a bit of curiosity about your feels once you get it ;-) , it is not just the thing that i would like to use for writing
@nestor @gintoxicating Or rather #IdeaPadS10 instead:
