I’m very close to getting a HannsNote 2. The battery life is disappointing, but it is very thin (maybe unnecessarily so). It’s no hardship to carry around a battery in a bag.
I have a crazy idea about VNC or SSH in which case a host laptop might not be very far away anyway.
The HannsNote2 is such an interesting piece of tech I am extremely interested it's one of those situations where its just one or two features away from being a killer product IMO.
Having a back/frontlight, bigger battery and faster CPU could turn it into the ultimate tablet for what I'm looking for.
I can settle for weaker CPU, I'd need to try it in person to test whether I can live without a light (hard to know just how much ambient light you need to use it indoors at night comfortably) but the battery I think is too short especially if you factor in natural degradation too. For me it means I'll always be worried about charging it or tethered to a cable and spontaneous usage always requires diligent charging. Stuff like train journeys and plane rides are all then also dependent on the power bank
I planned to use the tablet to connect to a tmux session and mirror a shell session on my laptop. I could then type on the laptop but use the RLCD display.
Not a crazy idea, but might look a little weird.
I’ve had a reMarkable 1 for a few years, and even had fun hacking it [0] but ultimately it’s too restrictive and slow for what I ended up using for, which was reading and annotating PDFs away from my desk.
I believe the HannsNote can serve as a monitor as its running android or am I mistaken? What's the benefit of tmux over it behaving as a regular monitor?
