After watching this video again, now I'm afraid of something. Even though the image refresh rate is crazy fast, is it just me, or the delay between the laptop screen and the e-ink display is troubling? Does that mean that we will experience a small lag when typing or dragging the mouse? Even a 500 ms delay for a mouse is very very problematic, because you don't know where your cursor is yet, so you end up stopping your mouse movement and realize afterwards you're 200 pixels off from where you were aiming. I know that because I already implemented a software that allows me to use my Onyx m96 9.7'' as a monitor.

So I'm wondering, is there some sort of buffering mecanism that allows the display to render the images very fast, but still with a lag for the mouse/keyboard?
