I misunderstood and thought you talked about a newer product than the original OLPC, which I was unaware had a transflective display. That’s cool, I’d love to see it in practice. The device is pretty ancient by now though, and as you said hard to come by.

E-ink generally refers to electronic paper displays, which is different from (and much more expensive than) transflective LCDs. So I was confused by the prospect of OLPC having it, especially as the technology barely existed for consumer hardware back when these laptops were made.

My favourite anecdote about the OLPC was how the antennas enabled farmers to communicate locally, and basically unionizing against exploitative practices by the assholes who were buying their crops. It was a really cool project.
