This is awesome, only wish it was a 486DX2 with 4/8MB RAM instead, that would increase the possibilities of running more heavier operating systems, like Windows 95. Also, is there a mention of the refresh rate of the display? I wonder what gaming on it would be like. They provided a screenshot of Test Drive and Wolf3D running on it, but a video would've been nicer.
This is running under emulation, but I wonder if the power savings would be even more (an order of magnitude?) if the hardware was "gate accurate" to the original but shrunken down to a modern CMOS process. I find it amusing that the keyboard has a Windows key. Does anyone recognise what laptop it was originally from? It can't be a Thinkpad since there's no pointing stick, and I seem to remember some early Dells havi…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are a lot of 'forever devices' currently touching money in major financial institutions.
I spent a good chunk of my career in banking. I had many conversations to the effect of “see that RS/6000 in the corner of the network diagram? It processes $45bn in payments every day.”

To save others doing what I did there is an Android tablet like this called 'Daylight'

Intel makes the quark which is like a 486dx that runs on a watch battery. There are a few models now, but I think that qualifies?

You can buy them off Aliexpress etc. quite easily
Pretty dang cool. Well done. My ideal setup before eyeing the e-ink space was a linux-based netbook and occasional internet access to offload heavy compute to powerful servers. I could see using this sort of setup in a similar fashion.
Chromebook with linux installed?
Asus' eeePc was awesome!
