It's already possible, with a remarkable 2 and a special vnc client https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee. Though I have not tried it yet, it looks great, but the screen is way smaller than an usual pc monitor

I have a Onyx Boox Max, an A4 b/w e-ink device. I can't use that as a screen, due to too low refresh rate. Writing on it with it's pen is great, but typing on it is horrible. The slight delay breaks the usability.

I don't know how that stacks against the remarkable 2.

Try learning vim. If you're typing confidently and using the commands you can use it with higher latency.

I'm fully keyboard driven in my current editor, the issue is not that. It's that the symbols I type show up with a noticeable delay. It's like IRL lag.

The device looks neat, but I don't like the "Connect costs $4.99 per month" stuff when you've already paid for the device. Is the device fairly locked down to force you to pay for their cloud service?

I've never needed it, I have a remarkable 1 and it's perfectly enough for my usage, I use it only as an ebook reader that can takes notes, I don't need the fancy colors features of the new one.
