Something I’d be interested in that I can’t seem to find:
A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.
What I’ve found so far are mostly either
– Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX’s various lines)
– Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo’s swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).
Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn’t look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren’t going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.
The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.
Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?

I should add that I started looking because of the mention of the Linux-based, but still early in development PineNote in the latest Pine64 update:

Again it’s a tablet meant for handwritten note taking, but a general-purpose Linux distribution is going to be a lot more flexible
