How is anyone supposed to type on something like that?
I would prefer a mechanical or classical keyboard with e-ink key-caps top.
E-ink displays are awesome and Lenovo never stops innovating. I am bit skeptical about the keyboard feel though. I really hope that they will take in consideration a double screen for phones too, something like the YotaPhone.
I loved the idea of the yotaphone and bought the second version (using it to write this) but it's actually the worst phone I've ever owned by a wide margin. The hardware quality is not great and it's stuck on a very old version of Android. The eink display is neat and great for navigation especially, handy for visual notifications on a desk, but otherwise not as useful or as cool as I expected. I kind of regretted bu…
I'd buy it because I would find it perfect for reading, and I just love the feel, but guess it really depends.

I turned off the haptic feedback on mine as it's too distracting and to save battery. (The battery last a long time on it - about 8 hours watching movies on 50% brightness in airplane mode. Over 14 hours reading PDFs.)
I am not a windows fan. Any guesses on Linux support? I’m guess none at all.
Bought the last generation of this on a whim, used it maybe an hour since then. Nothing about this is convenient except if your workflow involves you constantly changing keyboard layout for some reason. A lot of products like this one already exist and do things better, MS Surface, iPad Pro etc. I don't really understand what niche this fits in except for impulse buyers like myself. edit: also on last gen there was n…
However I've used it quite a bit since then for other things, mostly taking notes, watching videos, and reading PDFs when traveling.
My biggest complaint with the 1st gen was the single microUSB port, this new one looks like it has two USB C ports, that and better tech specs might make it worth getting.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this. I just want to attach a tmux/vi session to that EINK panel, I'll even bring my own wireless keyboard.
Same here. I’m sure plenty want that, but apparently not enough.

the hardware itself is pretty nice, though.

On most devices tap-to-click is on by default. It’s always the first thing I turn off. I have always found it completely useless and it turns incidental touches into accidental clicks. “Oops, guess I sent that email.” This isn’t relevant to the parent’s complaint, though. Without dedicated buttons, you’re relying on the driver to distinguish between a one and two finger click. That detection, even on Apple devices, i…
Man I really disagree about Apple's new trackpads. I feel very uneasy using them. It's almost an "uncanny valley" type feeling.

Who cares. Bringing experiments all the way to market is a good thing, just don't buy one and you are sorted.
bringing experiments all the way to market is really only good if anyone cares to try them out. if no one cares to try them then that experiment has failed in the market.
