I have the original reMarkable bought used because I'm a cheap bastard and even that one is great. I work in sales (fenestration) and it makes keeping track of things so much simpler. Being able to copy and past scrawled notes makes keeping on the fly things organized so much easier.

I also use it for Dungeons and Dragons and it is invaluable for keeping my character's shit organized and updated.

I've considered upgrading to the second but I can't quite justify the expense.

I would love an E-ink laptop with a good keyboard to use for writing and Dungeon Master stuff.

It needs to be easy to read from, have a good keyboard and battery life, and play music. It needs an internet connection because all of my tools sync or are web-hosted. Also let it display normal color video out of HDMI or Type-C.

Basically my ZenBook 14 (love this thing) with an E-Ink screen.

As someone who used them in school all the time and got free ones from time to time, alphasmarts if you can stomach the first generation storage spaces. We're talking something like a few gigs if you get a really premium model.

The screen is also something like a typewriter, only having two or three lines visible at a time.

If you do go that far though, there's really no reason to avoid a cheap laptop, which will probably be better in every single way...
