Cool question! I was a digital nomad working a B2B SaaS for ~5years. I worked from cafes but they were always indoor. The bullshit of photos of people with a laptop nearby the beach/outdoor is that brighr light makes it impossible to read LED screens. I always hoped at some point e-ink screen would fix that. I saw some laptops with e-ink screens online. Never tried one. Googling "laptop with e-ink display" returns a lot of results.





Thank you. I am / have been a digital nomad since 2006. Wired Magazine even published an article about us back then in our solar van in Australia trying to find 2G internet. I feel quite old ;) But after all this time, I am still dependent on having a laptop to do my job! An e-ink screen is much nicer for outdoors but I don't know of a system built on one that would be worth investing in. It's also a software problem. I would really like to be able to write with a pen but I don't know of anything good at understanding handwriting for stuff like this:

for (let f of arr.filter((a)=>a>0)) { ... }
