There is a wonderful 1* review. The customer has been waiting a month and hasn't received it yet. Customer Service's response is that they should contact tech support if it's not working properly.
this is quite interesting, and i think the price is alright at 1.7k
but at 3 lbs, this is quite heavy for ebook,
2.5lb-3lbs is normal weight for a 2-in-1. Youre not getting any lower unless you want a tablet with no keyboard, smaller battery, and less performance.
Interesting device. Not sure I fully understand the intended niche for it. Is the second screen for drawing?
e-ink uses less power. It's typically a super slow refresh rate, like 4Hz as compared to 60 or 120. It works well in direct sunlight and is best for static images. It's basically made for reading, so this is a good PDF reader and work machine.
This is a really interesting device and one I'd be really interested in, but I have to imagine it would work better as a straight tablet, probably Android/ARM. As is, I feel its too limited, especially the processing side for this price. If this had an AMD 7x40 CPU and 32GB of RAM I'd seriously consider trying it out. I would be concerned about that center hinge so even as a Windows device, I'd prefer it to be more like a Surface device with an optional keyboard, even if that was maybe more like a Surface Book.
Unfortunately looks like there's not much config options either if you wanted a stronger CPU from Intel (there is one but its just higher clockspeeds it looks like), and no extra RAM. And yikes it was $2800+?!?
Which, I feel like something like this is what Amazon should target with a premium Kindle device, one side OLED for watching video, one side e-ink. I wonder if they might could even work it so that during daylight the e-ink layer could let sunlight through boosting the brightness for OLED, and then at night, the OLED could be used to backlight the e-INK (could run pixel maintenance at the same time since shouldn't need too terribly much light). Would probably have to split off the rest of the tablet into like a handle or something (I think Lenovo used to have a tablet that had a fairly thick cylinder on one side that housed the battery?).
