It's even nicer rotated. The Mac display in this orientation measures 8 inches diagonally. This feels pretty close to the visible area of an actual 9 inch CRT.

@wezm an e-ink display classic mac would go so hard

@wezm I wonder if you could emulate one of the doorstop macs that could handle an extra display card, and get the equivalent of the old macintosh portrait display.

@wezm I'd love an ePaper or eInk laptop and if it can sport the old classic B/W MacOS vibe then it'll be even better.

@wezm That could work on my DC-1 (daylight computing) tablet.

@doekman oh wow that thing looks amazing. Does the display update as quickly as it does on their website? If so, that's super cool.
Show threadZaͩnͦsͤt̀́rͤa̅̆̈Jun 27
@wezm Yes, is does. Display is amazing, but Android is a steep learning curve…

@doekman I switched to an Android phone after iPhones since the 3G, it's weird and annoying at first but you get used to it. Plus I'm pleased every time I side load an app, or install an open-source one through F-Droid.
