Not many linux tablets look appealing to me, but this one got my attention. Not just its hardware, but also the open firmware.

That CPU is terrible for any real CPU-heavy work, but the price and performance and capability is great. I’d be tempted to get one myself!

I think the CPU was dictated by targeting battery life.

Why not use a laptop if you'redoing CPU heavy work? Not really the usecase for a tablet IMO, more for maximum portability over raw power.

it's extremely tempting, but without a stylus I'm not quite sure this does it for me :/

12 hrs battery life? That seems more like a laptop than a tablet. 65W seems to indicate as much.

The more telling spec is the Intel Alderlake processor. It's a laptop first and a tablet second.

Yeah, that's a pity. A friend was looking for a lowpower linux minipc or something similar. This would've fit the bill, but with 65W and that CPU it really doesn't.
