I'm quite intrigued by these and wonder if anyone has first hand experience of them? And if the little second screen is used...

I'm also intrigued by this, as I am in the market for a new laptop (although I'm struggling to see past an M1 Pro Macbook)
However, my daughter has the baby brother of the machine you linked, which turns the trackpad into a mini screen, ScreenPad 2.0 it's called.
Sounds like a gimmick, but for her uni work she says it's invaluable. She can have a question, or a formula (she's doing biomed) or something else useful to refer back to, on the trackpad.
So I imagine the proper dual screen would be really useful if you need access to two things at once without an external monitor. Can't imagine it does much for battery life, mind.
Michael Fisher (Mr Mobile) has a good review which might help:

If you get one, please update this with how you get on with it.

I've got one. It's a really nice bit of kit, but the additional screen does make the keyboard and trackpad placement a bit of an ergonomic mess. You get used to it but the lack wrist support is the biggest issue, especially if you actually do use it on your lap.
Additional screen is handy but the long thin size, shallow viewing angle and not being as bright/high quality as the main screen limits its utility a little if you're using it like I do for editing code and the like.
It comes with a stick-on, collapsible support stand to improve the angle it sits at on a desk - sound terrible, but it works really well. Also comes with a bluetooth stlyus. It's fairly lightweight, compact and well screwed together. Had no issues with battery life or performance (it even runs Cyberpunk 2077 at an acceptable framerate).
Overall, I'm happy with it, but at the time it was quite a premium on the cost for that second screen and I'm not sure I'd do the same given that I could, for the same price, have had a higher spec, single screen machine with a better graphics card.
