Not many linux tablets look appealing to me, but this one got my attention. Not just its hardware, but also the open firmware.

    That CPU is terrible for any real CPU-heavy work, but the price and performance and capability is great. I’d be tempted to get one myself!

      I think the CPU was dictated by targeting battery life.

      I’m an idiot in regards to CPU and GPU what does that mean in real terms? The rest is good for a laptop (the prices in my head aren’t up to date)

      I’m thinking about a microsoft surface for comparison 😀

        Basically it means what you can expect the laptop to do.

        This tablet is decent for basic web usage, office apps, general use (music/videos etc).

        It’s not good for games, dev projects (think big apps), photo editing, video editing, and anything I forgot to list that’s “heavy usage.”

        If you don’t need the latter, it’s just fine.

        Think “lightweight convertible laptop” rather than “tablet with a keyboard”. It’s an Intel processor but it’s on the efficient side. It will run those desktop apps but don’t expect a lot of performance.

      Why not use a laptop if you’redoing CPU heavy work? Not really the usecase for a tablet IMO, more for maximum portability over raw power.

    12 hrs battery life? That seems more like a laptop than a tablet. 65W seems to indicate as much.

        Yeah, that’s a pity. A friend was looking for a lowpower linux minipc or something similar. This would’ve fit the bill, but with 65W and that CPU it really doesn’t.
