(A friend of mine is about to order this, i've seen it, it's as awesome as you'd imagine)

That's not e-paper.

Amazing, thank you! How have I not heard of this?

Not an e-paper laptop, but an interesting tangent from yesteryear. Did you see the display in the OLPC? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC_XO#Display

Yes, though I opted not to get one because of the form factor and all the sacrifices they made in service of their goal (which was great but not for me).

I would kill for a 12.1" 16:10 eink panel for my x201. I enjoy sitting in the garden at work in the summer.
