Seems like no stylus? If so it makes the starlite not very surface-like in my mind. Ain't a stylus the reason for something like this?
I am of the opinion that if we keep waiting for the “perfect” Linux tablet, it will never exist. The specs of this unit are head and shoulders above any other Linux-dedicated tablet thus far.
I plan on buying one once I see a product review, and if it’s as good as I hope it will be, I hope that Linux users will support it with their wallets so we get more and better devices like this.
I'm not sure on Starlab's background or people's stance on them, but I think this looks pretty nice.
Coreboot, 3:2 aspect ratio, magnetic keyboard, aluminium finish, I'd say makes this a pretty compelling alternative to a surface. Specs aren't super beefy, but I don't think they need to be in this form factor. Introductory price on this seems nice, too.
It seems like Star Labs is pivoting away from making superheroes and finally decided to use their technology more responsibly!
Always wanted to try a star labs product. What always stops me are the specs. Not enough ram or storage or CPU to justify the price. Even though I know the premium is there because they aren't just white labeled clevos like every other Linux focused PC company
That's an incredible price for 16gb of memory and a 512 ssd. Would be an upgrade from my 14" laptop. I just hope I don't have to wait multiple years to get it.
It boosts faster tho, so for average usage it might be fine. It just will have trouble with anything that requires sustained use, which for me would probably just be compiling code or games, things I wouldn't try to do on a tablet.
Are you Immolo? If not, I'll write a comment about this on his latest video.
Great RAM and SSD, but at the cost of a quad core processor at 1Ghz. Still, I'd consider it a bargain, especially at 500 with the keyboard, as it is right now.
Looks like a dope little device but at that price I think I might be more interested in a Steam Deck.
Steam deck kinda sucks for media consumption as a handheld, and it's much heavier. But this thing isn't gonna game well 😅
I wish I would have known about this before buying the Pinetab2. I didn't realize (completely my fault) that the Pinetab2 was a development unit without working wifi, bluetooth, camera and other issues. Once again, my fault, not Pine64's.
I didn't see anything in the article, but will it have stylus support?
This looks great and seems very reasonably priced. Pretty sure it won't replace my Android tablet but it might tempt me into trying.
oooo this thing looks awesome, I want one.
I've always been fascinated by this type of form factor.
