It's all depends on what Linux with what DE you will use on it. You can always install a distro of your choice and rearange the interface. I don't know how gestures will work, but this tablet is for people who want a Linux tablet. Comparing it to iPad is not fair since iPad has propertiary OS made for the device. And perfecting the experience took years and lots of money. This is a new product with FOSS operating system and software. It needs some time to mature like System76 products.

If you want to mess around with Linux and need another machine to do it, a used Thinkpad is one of the best machines for it, and is far less wasteful than buying some random shit hardware that will probably break in a year or two. There are so many models to choose from, and they are generally well supported by Linux and far cheaper than an this thing. If it has to be extremely compact, there may be better options, but some more recent models of Thinkpad are pretty thin and light, so you might be able to find a good deal if you shop around. I started with an x61s from what I remember, and even in 2011 it ran Ubuntu near flawlessly. T420s was also amazing with Linux Mint, and the form factor of the x250-270 was pretty nice if you want a small laptop. The x280 is more compact than the x260, but is less upgradeable, due to soldered RAM. I think there is also a touch screen version of the x260, though I actually really don't like the YOGA range as Windows apps generally don't support tablet mode with a pen well. The biggest downside to used Thinkpads is that the cheapest ones often have atrocious screens, but you can usually switch them for a better one without too much work.

A lot of the things you might need access to 'the system' for in Linux are simply not necessary on MacOS. Like you don't have to worry about drivers, for example. You would never need to recompile a kernel. I can start and stop services from the terminal. I can manage a whole suite of packages with macports or homebrew from the commandline. What else do you need?

I will say that Android tablets (pretty much only Samsung), especially this last year or so, have gotten a lot better and do provide good competition to iPads. There's some concerns with longevity compared to iPads, like performance in 2 years time will likely be considerably worse than a comparable iPad and iPads get around twice the major updates compared to Android devices, but for their price they are now a good option. I just wish Android was a smoother experience, which it is until the next Android version then it's another 6 months until that becomes smooth and then repeat.
@iowawalker2 жыл бұрын
Indeed, Android flagship tablets became really good. The price is my biggest consern, because Tab S7+ costs about the same as iPads. I'm very satisfied with the performance of Tab S7+, it can handle heavy workloads (for tablets, not PCs) seamlessly with Snap 865+ and 6Gb RAM. Can't say about longevity as I have mine for half a year, gotta check it when Android 12 update comes at January. Samsung DeX is just a beast, easily the best tablet feature there is. Didn't have any experience with it's Huawei counterpart, so can't say about companies other than Samsung. I'm really glad that SPen is included. On iPad it's like a $150 addition to the price and it's not even better than SPen (2048 pressure levels VS 4096 in SPen) and you don't need to charge it for it to function. Overall, it really hurts me that people don't consider Android tablets. I don't know what I'd do if Samsung just shut down their tablet lineup, so I'd be glad if reviewers gave more credit to Android tablets. Thankfully, 14" behemoth of Tab S8 Ultra is coming soon, so hopefully we'll see more coverage on it after release.

@@iowawalker Samsung is notorious for having Apple-like MSRP and constant sales and discounts in practice. I caught one of these sales and got the S7 plus for roughly 400 taxes included. If you trade in as well they do have good tradein discounts sometimes. I think price-wise, the tab S'es are pretty much unbeatable value. My experience is in the US by the way. And I doubt other Android makers will compete. Note taking is unparalleled on the S7 because of the high refresh rate, which is a premium feature that I don't see any other brands pursuing. It's always just the cheap media consumption tablets. Oh, and the proprietary Samsung Notes app. I've taken books worth of notes to say this: no other app in the play store even come close. To topple the iPad they need a good, competent productivity ecosystem, and as long as Samsung can get other app makers on board I think they can be a serious contender.

A few i teresting things about the tablet. 1. Because the soc is unexplored territory (like most weird arm SoCs) it only uses software rendering for the UI. This not only kills the performance but also the battery. Good thing is that at least with the new releases of Jing OS it does get fixed over time. 2. As for the price and recommending it to people... I myself as a Linux user probably wouldn't the way it is now at least. (unless you want to support Linux tablets) 3. (And this is more aimed at the company) they could try doing x86 emulation with box86 or maybe even android containerization via WayDroid. EDIT: OH WOW I did some research for a few minutes and found some things. First off features like screen rotation and split screen are coming. And there is also an update that should allow Android support(along with an early beta test image) It seems like most of these issues will be resolved in March 2022 and I hope by then Jing OS reaches 1.0(its now at 0.9.1)

I'd love to see this succeed, and I was seriously consider buying one to help work on the software, but it seems like there are some problems. The only thing they've actually published on their github is a 6 month old version with no ARM support, so you have no way of knowing what you're actually running if you download the latest build from their website... and you can't run your own software or customize anything (let alone contribute improved code back to the project, which they seem to need!). I've been using regular old Gnome on several x86 tablets for years, and the battery life they're claiming is no better than what I've always gotten on intel.

That whole setup they featured is also $899 for a WiFi model. Definitely a lot, considering it's a device from an unknown manufacturer. They didn't release the source code of the OS the tablet is running at all (they only have x86 0.9 version public, despite the tablet being on 1.1 already). So effectively if you break the OS you can't reinstall, the bootloader prevents you from installing other distros, and they claim absolutely no support in case of any software problems. Anthony is also the only reviewer I saw who tried to test the pressure sensitivity of the pen and it didn't work, which is not encouraging.

Nice screen too last I checked, hampered by awkward availability though. If you are fine with Foreign Tablets, the Xiamo Pad 5 is also an option, although the Pen on it is not as nicely built as the stated.

On the flip side I know with the Chromebook duet, Chrome OS is going to be more comfortable and be easier to work with and learn from. Also I like the integration with Google services and software support for a long time cause I have a pixel 6 and I'm a Avid user of checking emails and stuff so that kinda more seamless integration seems cool to me.

How can the laptop speakers be this bad when it not only costs way more but also has way more space to put something beefier in there? I got pretty spoiled by it. The Tab S2, despite being bottom firing speaker.... is still better than the laptop's speaker somehow. The only problem is not being very loud, so it's only good for quiet environments. On this tablet... yeah, looks way better than I expected for a Linux tablet, honestly. Still kinda jank, but seeing all previous attempts at shoving some Linux distro on a tablet/smartphone device, this one looks pretty ok.

I know I live in the States but I have a small Sony speaker (mine is a SRS-XB12, now the newer model is out SRS-XB13 but they appear to be pretty much the same) with its own power supply built in and either Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack connection options. It is obviously not stereo but it sounds great for such a small speaker. That might help with the poor quality sound from your laptop (my laptops have shitty sound as well). If you mainly use your laptop at your desk a good amplified speaker system with subwoofer would be even better (I have an old Genius 2.1 speaker system at my desk for my computer, it is no longer manufactured which is actually too bad as it is an excellent speaker system but several good brands are available including updated systems from Genius).

I have both the Tab S5e and the Huawei Mediapad M10 and they both have fantastic audio for a tablet thanks to 4 speakers that are properly factory tuned by well known audio companies. I got the Mediapad first and it blew away every other Android tablet's audio I'd heard by a huge margin. The Tab S5e was on offer, so I snapped it up and it's impressively thin and light, but I still have a soft spot for the Mediapad cos it was my first experience of top quality speaker audio on a portable computer.

In a similar vein, I honestly really love the idea of Chromebooks. Mobile, super light, great battery life, touch screen, installs android apps, chrome apps, and linux apps all with very little hassle. I just wish there was a no-compromises Chromebook, and ALSO that android apps for Chromebooks worked well. The IDEA of that^ sounds almost like a perfect mobile programming station for me, as someone who does most of his heavy lifting on clusters in the cloud. But every time I actually sit down and try to get things working, I end up always either going back to my Macbook Air or to to my Lenovo with Manjaro installed.
