If you're considering closed-source tablets that can run Linux, then the competitors for this device are significantly more. If the OS is not also entirely open source, then it is essentially competing with all Android devices too.
There are no fully open source devices nowadays. There is always some part that has proprietary firmware. Like Pinebook Pro - trackpad, keyboard, eDP, USB-C etc.
Which ARM based mobile devices can run Linux (tablets and laptops) ? There are not many actually.

Exactly like Pinebook Pro, Pinephone, Pinetab
