You've waited long enough. The PineTab preorders are now open!
PineTab: https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinetab-10-1-linux-tablet
PineTab + keyboard: https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinetab-10-1-linux-tablet-with-detached-backlit-keyboard
@GreyLinux This is how the conversation went at my house:
Me: Ooooo, the PineTab is available for pre-order! I'm buying one!
Her: OK.
Me: I'm getting the keyboard too.
Her: OK.
@GreyLinux Heh, well I bought a Pixel C a few years back when they first came out, and I've been needing to replace it as I don't have a decent tablet anymore. That device is coming apart (literally), and is outside of the window for updates. When I bought it the cost was closer to $1000. The PineTab is barely over $100, and I'm hoping updates will be available for longer than the Pixel C's were.
Now, if I could just get @PINE64 to get more PineBook Pros back in stock I'd be set.
@GreyLinux I've also been keeping a pretty close watch on the CutiePi. It's supposed to hit crowd funding this month, and if it's in the $100-$200 range, I'll probably put a bid in on one of those too. They look like really interesting devices.
@mike wow this is the first I've heard of this , thanks for sharing mike , I'm looking into it now.
@GreyLinux Start thinking of your excuse to buy it now!
@PINE64
Hi5
@PINE64 Fantastic, order's in!
@PINE64 I guess it's safe to assume this hardware is effectively beta? If that is the case, can you give us an idea of planned changes for a more "stable" release? I would love to get one, just wanna know if I will be missing out on anything by buying the Pinetab this early in the game.
@Batcastle
This isn't a brave heart release I don't think
@PINE64
@PINE64 We wants it! We needses it, precious! Our preciousssssss!
@PINE64
Just have to sell some stuff on eBay & I'll be right back!
@PINE64
Why is the touch pad off center?
@PINE64 ...and it's ordered!
End of July seems to be unbelievably far away...but already looking forward
@PINE64 What is the configuration of the keyboard, ASCII or ISO?
@PINE64 Just ordered mine! Thanks Pine64!
@PINE64 Can it use a writing stylus?
@PINE64 is there a video review of it yet? I'd love to see it in action.
@PINE64 congrats, and let me help you boost!
@PINE64 pls my wallet can only handle so much
@PINE64 getting timeouts on the store here atm, so I am guessing it is a success. ;)
@PINE64 Hey, what is the expected battery life of these?
The old 99 dollar laptops had like a 6 hour battery life from what I'm told.
@PINE64 ciągle klawiatura nie dla programisty.
Ale sam tablet może być ciekawy. Czy działa on powerbank? Mogę po prostu podłączyć bezpośrednio kabelek i ominąć lipo? Przeraża mnie perspektywa długiego ładowania.
@PINE64 Ordered. Can I get mine today? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? 🍒
