Big phone means same mostly proprietary software and spyware apps, hard to replace internal battery, limited software updates after which the device becomes obsolete, non upgradeable memory and storage, etc. By comparison my 2011 era laptop still runs current gnu/linux distros and has a swappable battery, HD/SSD, and other replaceable parts.
Yeah. When an eInk laptop running Linux hits, I'll be very happy.
With USB-C to occasionally drive an external display, I think the technology might be close to ready for prime time.
I used a reflective laptop (Toshiba T1000) in the 1980s and today's stuff isn't really that much more functional, at least for text.
