Good review! For an e-ink tablet that can function as a laptop replacement, I think the Boox Tab Ultra (either color or B&W version) is a much better choice. At $600 for the color version, it's still expensive, but a bit cheaper. You can also probably find the discontinued B&W version for a lot cheaper. The big selling point for me though is the keyboard case which connects via contact pins, so no messing around with bluetooth.

In fact, there's even a Tab Ultra C Pro now (Device names are not this company's strong suit) which includes a trackpad in the keyboard case. Super cool, although I haven't tried that one. and that one is $650 without the keyboard/trackpad or $740 if you get it bundled together.

I always feel so torn about color e-ink devices. Don't get me wrong, adding color to e-ink is a huge quality of life improvement and whether it's for working or as a companion device, I understand that the color comes in handy. But one of the main reasons that I like e-ink is for the crispness of the images and text, without the LED screen - and color e-ink devices, at 150ppi, just don't have that same crispness. I've yet to see a color e-ink device that made me go "wow!"

Thanks for reviewing this (and for mentioning the Thinkpad - I was wondering if/when you would be doing a review for that!).

17:00 The form factor is still cool though. It reminds me of the Tony Stark phone.

$700, nope! For that kind of money you can get an ipad air or high end android tablet. In fact you can upgrade the ipad air with 256GB of storage.

Great video, good device, bad price.

Jose, what are you doing man? This is not a dumb phone.

This device would simplify my life's distractions if I were to buy it at which point I wouldn't be able to afford life's little distractions anyway.

Stay focused man.
