Another initial impression - Corkonian - 06-08-2023
So, after paying another 65 quid to the Customs&Excise, I finally have my PineTab 2 in hand.
Packaging is great. Lightweight and very protective.
Inside 2 boxes, one with a folding keyboard cover, plastic fantastic, but it will do.
Another box with the tablet and a USB cable.
The Tablet looks and feels miles better than the cheap Chinese kit you would expect for that price. Screen protector already applied, nice.
The Tablet fits nicely in the keyboard case, me like.
Switching it on....
.... wait, it's in portrait while its in landscape being in the case. Really?
Even though the display is only 720p, it looks good enough. But really, there are 10" tablets around with 1080p and even 2k displays for not more money.
Speed seems to be okay'ish. About the same as a PineBook Pro. Not world shattering, but more than acceptable.
Let's look at System Monitor.... U kiddin me? 1.5 GiB of RAM already used?
Can we update? No, no Net, no Bluetooth, no WiFi, no drivers. Thank you.
Well, since it's not networked, I don't need no updates yet.
So let's wor a bit with it...

KDE isn't minimalistic and it's configured in "desktop style": there are many services running in the background (indexer, DB backends, ...).
