> I don't want a small screen to travel with.
Have you ever had a trip longer than 24 hours? When I had such a trip, I felt the desire to remove my big luminous screen and put eink in its place. This could save me upto 1000%-10000% of the charge (10-100 times longer working time) on some sections of the path. What I'm saying is that travel is the best time to read or create really deep stuff, and a glowing, power-hungry display doesn't fit the travel scenario the author is talking about. But the Forever Computer described in the article, which is suitable for everyone, is in first order the interface between a person who has hands/speech/brain activity and other computers that already have a screen.
I understand that you are most likely a designer, because you need an impressive display and a fairly crappy keyboard. Let your Forever Computer have a keyboard that suits you, have the ability to connect a screen that suits you, but will not let you down when the batteries designed to power your screen run out.
