actually i started building my own tablet/top? before i knew that the pine tab was coming so soon. SO I should have iy finished by the time the pine tab ships.
The pine tab is slimmer, no question, and the keyboard is more practicatl (I really dislike BT keyboards as they seem to suck too much battery and dont always sync) so we\ll see hope the PT works
The TWO big tests for me are going to be \typing\ and research.
Before I started building mine, I was in BB (first time in YEARS) looking for a headset for my 14yo and saw a lennvo yoga 9xx and fell in love. Its so slim and so fast and win10 (not my favorite by any means) just works. But at $1000 it is compeletly un justafiable.
The RASPI4 had just come out and i figured that a 4gb RPY plus 10" screen and a full installation of linux, and all should be grand.
Most of my needs revolve around writing and presentation ALONG with reading. I rarely carry fewer than several hundred books with me for reference, at any one time. Ive tried chromebooks and as good as the idea is, the execution, for me, is just not there.
So my RPI4, 4GB ram, 10" touch screen, 10000maH battery and some other accessories, should wrap up nicely
Then they announce the pinetab at a GREAT price that seems very comparable in specs.
My big question will be battery life.
I just bought a CHUWI Hi10x to replace my asus transformer, and it works well, but the battery isnt nearly as good as my FIRE, which rea;lly trks me.....
wh can kindle get 10-12 hours out of a battery on a quad core arm chip and a bloaed copy of android and no one ekse evern comes close?
