That's not at all what they are asking for. The e-ink 'display' is the keyboard, not the display for term/graphics. Also: > Memory: 4GB RAM Why do laptop manufacturers insist on being stuck in 2005?
I would love to have something like this in front of every meeting room at work displaying the occupancy of the current day.
https://www.visionect.com/blog/digital-signage-how-we-built-... Google also did something like this but I can't find that write up.

Because RAM is cheap, and human developer/testing time is expensive.
RAM is only cheap if your consumer can actually run your product. As manufacturer's have decided 4GB is good enough for most people... Maybe the developer is the problem.
"640K of memory should be enough for anybody."

I run on 4GB and it's good enough for : browsing, python development of GUI, looking at picture, listening to music, serving music, word processing, making patches to KDE, running a virtual machine, etc. Oh and it's 2018.

buy a dasung paperlike pro 3[1] e-ink monitor and place it infront of your laptop screen. Retina display on __E-INK__. slim like a book, just carry it wherever you take your laptop. can double as dual monitor. [1] https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paperlike-3-a-smart-e-ink...
If you are looking into that product, you should at least check out the Boox Onyx 10/13 inch e-readers, which are just superior both in terms of price and features. (They too support being used a regular HDMI screen (with no drivers needed, unlike dasung device) - but you also get a fully-fledged android-based e-reader in that same product.

Platitudes are cheap. Ignoring the real world, and allowing cheap excuses for either developers or manufacturers isn't acceptable.
With 640K, a lot of developers built decent software. They didn't decide that the manufacturer was wrong and so their software would simply be a resource hog, as that was easier for their developers. But they also asked for more too.
I think this is a great idea! Small (3x6”) e-ink displays are now widely available on alibaba and eBay. I’m very weary about the refresh rate. The ones I see available now look like 6s total refresh by the looks of them.
Fixing the world, one typo at a time.

You seem to know the market a bit. Can I buy an e-ink device that I can hang on the wall or put on the table and that will display today's appointments from my calendar for me?
You can do this with a rooted Kindle: https://lifehacker.com/add-weather-and-google-calendar-infor...
