Asus' Dali laptop concept puts a color e-paper display on the lid of its Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop, for seemingly limitless customization. Except this is still a concept, so who knows if the company will ever bring the idea to market. And the software, at least in its current state here at Computex in Taipei, would only let you apply several pre-rendered stickers, or apply some AI-generated art.
According to an Asus representative at the company's Taiwan headquarters, the 12-inch e-ink screen on the lid has a resolution of 1600 x 1200, and delivers 6 colors, with other shades presumably created by a mixture of those hues. While other details about the laptop concept are slim to none at this point, we can say that, in person, the colors appeared more vivid than in many other e-paper displays we've seen, but that it also took about 20 seconds to apply most images to the lid via software – and there was some serious strobe-like flashing as the images are applied.
