Really people still purchase from this company? I wonder how many years people we'll have to wait to not get their tablet?

The Starlabs Starlite 5 looks much more interesting imo

1TB NVME, OLED with an Intel N CPU?
15 0 ReplyBleah, that Intel N CPU is going to ruin the experience.
7 0 ReplyYou could have a decent experience. Take away the NVME, even with an m.2 ssd, and the oled and bring that price down into the 400-600 range.
Hell, put an arm CPU and keep those other specs and stay in that range

the low power cpu bottleneck for nvme drives is pretty intense from what I know. These specs, to me, look like the equivalent of a tech youtuber just throwing together random hardware into a case to make a build video because it's a slow week for content.

Another Linux tablet is definitely good news. I like Purism’s stated values and their laptops are very solid, the Librem phone was a disappointment for me personally though.
11 1 ReplyToo bad that Purism's stated values are the opposite of their real business practices.
5 0 ReplyCompletely agree. Maybe they can get it right this time.

I wish them good luck. Only thing that would be important to me is if it can emulate up to gamecube, play some indie/fan games, & good battery life.

I’m really excited about Linux tablets, but quite apprehensive about Purism as a company. Starlabs’ new tablet does also seem like a compelling package, luckily.
6 0 ReplyPine64's pinetab 2 also looks pretty good
2 0 ReplyFrom this blog review on June 2023, it seems that camera, WiFi and bluetooth are still not working properly.
PineTab2 seems more like a developer tinkering/testing device rather than a Linux tablet alternative for Android/iPad.

Their company is run by scammers it seems. Louis Rossman's videos are informative.

What linux tablets use RISC? I see PineTab does, but it's for people who like to brag that they use Arch. Are there any that are more polished?
3 2 ReplyFrom what I understand, the RISC-V ecosystem is not polished enough yet, so the state of PineTab-V roughly represents the state of the entire platform for desktop Linux.
8 0 ReplyI see they also have an ARM model available. Shit... at $240 after shipping I might buy that for my 10 year old to get him into Linux.
