I&#x27;m a writer by night and a programmer by day. I have to stare at bright LCD all day for work because I don&#x27;t have a choice right now, but when I&#x27;m writing, an e-Ink display would be more than enough, and much, much easier on my eyes.<p>My dream would be something with a Mac keyboard, a 13-inch e-ink display like a kindle, a simple word processor (rich text only, no need for MS word or anything fancy), days of battery power, light weight, and a simple means of transferring snippets of text and document files from my main machine or phone to the tablet. I would probably do research on a &quot;real&quot; computer then copy and paste snippets to the word processor machine as needed.<p>Internet connectivity for basic email and file transfer would be nice, but I can save the facebooking and the gaming for my main computer.<p>Anyone else thinks this is a good idea?
Ask HN: Will e-ink laptops be a thing soon, or ever?
