Device: More than I need, but not as many as I would like.

So you didn’t look at pictures or videos of the device before making such an expensive purchase?

Personally, I consider the placement of power button a design flaw. However, the workarounds are very easy to implement and don’t significantly impact usage of the device.

I was talking in general about why some people choose to be early adopters of new technology.

Nope. That’s you misreading what I’ve written and putting words into my mouth that I have neither said, nor implied.

With the exception of the battery drain and the HDMI connectivity problems, I don’t see the issues you raised in your initial post as being that serious.

Again, you misinterpret. I considered those specific issues to be frivolous as in not serious. One can be a serious person yet raise a frivolous question the same as one can be a highly intelligent person yet make a poor decision.

I’m very curious then about how you made your decision to buy the Max 2. Where did you hear about it? Did you look at any written or video reviews of the original Max or of other Onyx products? Did you watch any of the videos of the Max 2 which were posted online? Did you watch any videos of the Dasung eink monitor to see how it performed?

To me, it seems very strange that someone with your apparent educational background would not know about the latency issues in regard to using a mouse with an eink screen when the information is so readily available.
