>No, I don’t find it misleading. The device can be used as shown. And the placement of the power button on the Max devices is a well known issue.
Well, I didn't know about it. It's a new product, I didn't know where the power button was placed.
>Perhaps if everyone were as cautious as me, that would be the case. However, there will always be early adopters of new technology. Some have more technological expertise and are able to independently solve issues that might arise. Others have more disposable income.
I have a masters degree in computing and electronics, from one of the world's top universities. I assume that's not enough technical expertise? And how do you propose I would be able to 'solve' the issues I mentioned myself? You are implying I am simply stupid. Thanks for that
>As I already stated, new devices will initially have bugs. If you look at the thread about the original Max when it first came out, there were significant issues with the software. Many of them have been remedied with subsequent updates to the firmware. I waited until many of the bugs had been ironed out before making my purchase.
Well, good for you. That's not the case here. But again, by your logic, all those people that bought it and reported bugs in the first case were stupid people, just splashing their cash. Good job I suppose, because then you being a supremely clever person were able to buy one.
>I expect there will be similar birthing pains with the Max 2. I also expect that they will be ironed out. If you choose to be an early adopter, that is a risk that you undertake. As a software engineer, that is surely something you should be aware of.
I would not expect such an expensive device to have such serious issues, no.
>Also, some of your complaints seem somewhat frivolous. For example, your comment about imperfect English in the software or latency issues when using a mouse. I find the English on the Max to be quite passable and expect that the English on the Max 2 is rather similar.
Ok, so as well as not having any technical expertise, now I'm frivolous too.
> Latency issues when using a mouse on eink devices are well known and to be expected.
Again, no I didn't expect this when in the description it says it can be used as a secondary monitor.
