   Even very tiny devices can run emacs with a terminal or graphical interface   
   with today’s technology. The ones I’ve seen all seem to be plagued with a   
   crappy screen, crappy keyboard, or both. I would love to have a nice laptop   
   with a real mechanical keyboard and an e-ink screen that boots straight   
   into emacs. Ideally it would run from AA batteries like an old Newton eMate   
   which is actually getting popular as a distraction free device. You could   
   probably get something like that to run for weeks with automatic low-power   
   idle switching sayif the user doesn’t use the input devices for a set time.
