I could definitely use a supplemental e-ink display, though I think that the touchpad is too small. E-ink works very well in well-lit environments, like outdoors in the sun, where LCD displays don't do well.
I think that a more realistic route for laptops to have a supplemental eInk display is having the laptop have a protective cover that flips open and sticking a touch e-ink display on the back side of the laptop lid. Then you use the laptop as a tablet in that mode. I believe I recall seeing a smartphone manufacturer that did a dual LCD-eInk display on opposite sides of the phone.

You can have a regular glass rectangle phone with both screens (of the same size, stacked) on the same side, bit easier than flipping it over

Wonder when companies will finally stop pretending that consumers want AI all the time everywhere, while usage data clearly shows that's not the case.
No senior executive (especially in a public company) would be willing to publicly admit this.
