Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s we started to be able to use WiFi on laptops and connect to the Internet with some mobility.
Almost everyone had the fantasy of working from the beach or their garden in the sun.
It turns out that sitting down trying to read a screen in direct sunlight for hours sucks ass, which everyone who tried it discovered before moving back indoors.

Even if you could see the screen easily, a (good) desk and chair make a huge difference. Also, laptop + sand might turn me into Anakin.
e-paper remains the solution.
sigh yeah I remember my disappointment the first time I tried it
I had a man apple laptop in the 2000s that had a nice matte display and it worked really well.
I miss those days.
