pinetab2 hardware is not very good
#4
I tried a Chromebook and an Android tablet to get Linux running on a 10inch tablet, with little success, having broken a nice BQ Linux tablet (UBPorts). (Don't try charging your tablet from a cheap Chinese solar panel, but that's another story.) I then bought the Tab2.

I'm a user, not an expert, but this feels like a very nice tablet to me, with a good responsive screen and keyboard. The hardware seems well thought out. Its use is mainly mail and browsing with a little office work. Having to use a WiFi dongle is only a small irritation and it looks like resolution of the internal WiFi driver issue is close.

It has good battery life and runs Nextcloud nicely in the background. To me, it is basically a good simple Linux laptop in tablet form.

Thanks Pine64 for a nice well thought out tablet.
