Ask HN: Work-from-anywhere productivity devices for someone with poor vision?

What’s the current state and future of work-from-anywhere, productivity devices for someone with poor vision?

I’m not talking about answering emails at the coffee shop with a laptop. I’m talking about hanging off a glacier in the sun, writing code.

And by poor vision, I mean, corrected, I can just about read a newspaper in poor lighting. I can’t see your laptop over your shoulder. You’ll need to jack up the font size, thanks. I’ve never understood shiny screens, it’s like a mirror to me.

I’m not worried about power supply, yet. The current state of batteries should be fine.

Also connectivity is not a problem, yet. I’ll tether my phone, or use some satellite service.

I appreciate that this is idealistic but bear with me. My dream life scenario is that I’m on some physical adventure/expedition, and suddenly we need some code to save our lives. (Anyone do this?)

So I need terminals, IDE’s, connectivity, text and voice based communication, GPT. All the good stuff. I don’t need high resolution or photo/video editing, yet.

Less ambitiously and more realistically, I’d like to work in my back garden when the sun is out.

I’ve always been on the fence about keyboards. I don’t like the rigid posture required but I have adapted to become an efficient user of this tool. And fixing the keyboard to the tiny screen (classic laptop) makes it worse. I’ve always thought we can do better.

Am I just looking for a rugged E-ink tablet?

I should also add, I’m super optimistic and re-energised about where the tech is headed with E-ink for displays and GPT for productivity. The opportunities feel liberating.

Thanks
