Yeah, nah.
A used laptop running Linux is cheaper, and I can have multiple windows open with timelines, research, notes, etc.
This might be useful for doing some business related writing, but it's a step back for anything else
A new laptop running Linux is also cheaper, I got an Asus for $130 2 years ago and removed the wifi card.
You can also just delete all other apps expect for the writing app, set to open on boot, create a standard user, and forget the admin password.
There! No distractions.
