Lenovo has a new laptop called the Yoga Book. The keyboard is an e-ink display that can be used as an e-reader. Windows, so not a full OS, but definitely a step in that direction.

Just a clarification, this is actually the previous gen version, where the keyboard area was intended to be a digitizer for handwriting and pen input.

The new one with e ink keyboard is called the Yoga Book C930 and should be available later this year. Lenovo's mobile sites are a mess so I can't seem to find a page for it at the moment but there are many video previews of the device.

Previous generation X1 had OLED screen option which seems to have been discontinued.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be bright enough for solid outdoor use.

p.s. one trick to use outdoors is to change your editor theme from dark to bright.

Thumbs-up! I get what you mean but this sounds brilliant :-)))
