Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist[0] has been announced a while ago already. It should have a 12-inch color e-ink display in addition to a regular display.

It was supposed to become available in June 2023, but there's only silence.

Do you need colour, and is 10'' enough for you?

I just checked the current products from Onyx, and you can have e.g. a "Kaleido 3" 10.3'', 2480x1860 300 DPI (1240x930 150 DPI per tint) in the "Tab Ultra C", for ~600 coins.

Very probably VNC or better Remote Desktop tech will work on it.

Bring your laptop and your tablet, make the use you need.

The problem: if you keep them cable connected, you'd be straining the laptop battery...

Or, Linux on the tablet (maybe via Termux, you can also get a desktop environment).

Or, Android directly, with a BT keyboard...

I think you would be better off having it in a portable monitor.

Boox makes a portable 13" e-ink monitor but it's tough to swallow at $800

e-ink prices still shoot into the stratosphere if you want anything larger than 10"
