I just pre-ordered a Daylight Computer. It's expected to arrive early July.
Will I love it? Around a month after I receive it, I will I subjectively evaluate whether I love it or not.
I am probably biased in favor of Daylight after watching the S3 interview, but I suspect it might be more buggy than presented. I have previously used a Kindle and enjoy it, but find the limited functionality and slow screen refresh rate annoying...

@SG I'm placing this bet on my new daylight computer after having it hand delivered from the founder! First impression: it's awesome!
Will really hinge on how small of a slice of your computing you expect to do on it.
If you're counting on it replacing your main laptop/phone/tablet, it's a pretty easy bet on NO. Almost a sure thing, even.
But if you're the type who regularly buys new tech toys, and you only need to use it for a few hours a week to feel satisfied with your purchase, then this market is in play. Will it feel polished or janky? Will the screen live up to promises? Will it's capabilities overlap with your specific wants?
My bet is that you're a tech dabbler, and you just want it for while you sit on your deck and drink your coffee. And it'll be nice. But it will have a few annoying rough edges. The sea will be exactly the wrong shade of pink. You'll shrug, be content with your purchase, but not love it. It will go in the drawer. Then you'll move onto some other shiney.
Yeah, while I think the marketing for this product is pretty slick, at a certain point, if you want a high-framerate reading experience you can take outside, without much features or annoying electronic notifications, that's totally free! It's called library books and writing on paper. Doesn't run out of battery :) I know I'm being condescending but I know just how strong the urge to get the shiny is lol, and I'm fed up with digital addictions for sure, but another product is not going to fix it.
