The freewrite is hugely expensive, and the software janky. I have had it get stuck in a reboot cycle multiple times. Beware the 90 day warrantee which won't help if the update throws you into endless reboots after 90 days.

The e-ink display updates a little slow, which is fine, if you're writing at draft quality. If you're editing, you really can't jump around the page at all, and backspacing to correct words is cumbersome.

The build quality feels like it is a generic e-ink display, hard plastic case, mediocre keyboard and a raspberry pi (or equivalent) stitched together. While it is hard, it doesn't feel rugged at all.

When it works it does it's job well for throwing a first draft of writing onto the page -- which is what I've used it for. The long battery life from e-ink display is nice as well. Having a real keyboard compared to the flat-key chromebooks or small laptops is nice as well.

I really want to like it, and it is nice when it's working and I'm just throwing text -- and by this I mean prose, nothing like markdown -- out there to see what sticks for editing later. For being a single task item, it failed to be hassle free and that just kills it for me.
