Huge fan of risk-v and massively overwhelmed by analysis paralysis. I‘m in the market for risc-v hardware to develop on and play around with.

After some consideration, I will get an sbc for the hard tinkering and low level stuff and I‘m thinking of getting a tablet for regular use (browing, ebook reading, controlling smart home devices) as well as development and packaging stuff.

My reasoning for using dev hardware on a daily basis is that for myself to be able to use features, I need apps which I am incentivised to compile and package for risc-v.

I‘ve seen very promising risc-v videos but I‘m not sure what to expect from a tablet. To add to that the pinetab v is out of stock which was a strong candidate.

I know there is the new tablet from deepcomputing but its in preorder and the shipping to germany is pretty expensive. (100$ plus). The HD display is pretty awesome compared to the pinetab v but afaik the pinetab comes with accessories.

Any experience with risc-v tablets and which other offers do you consider good?

    Good luck! I appreciate your praise. Its nice to be seen for the stuff we do.

    That said, you‘re doing a great thing if you try and hit the edge of your comfort zone.

    For me it is running postmarketOS on a pi with plasma since only 50% of things work and I‘m likely going to try to get the rest working too. Currently, sound isnt working either, resource monitor doesnt work and streaming 1080p content is about 3SPF.
