This does nothing for me. I am waiting for a laptop built entirely in the West even if it will be more expensive. Buying Chinese products you support social score, camps, child labour and slavery. No thank you.

As a PinePhone and Librem 5 owner, I should be psyched by this, as a tablet running a Linux distribution that looks nice could really help the overall Linux on touchscreen devices ecosystem. I am not too excited though: 1. With their current, x86_64 only release, GPL violations have been alleged. 2. PowerVR graphics make mainlining this device unlikely, meaning that it’s going to be stuck on a Vendor kernel and libhy…

I get what you're saying, but if you're going to take that point of view can I assume you're living in a log cabin in the woods? Anything else, and you use Chinese-made products all day long.

Now this is sad, but a decade old system would be Sandy/Ivy bridge era hardware, which isn't that bad for non-graphic intensive stuff. I would hazard that most consumers wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference with current hardware, especially as an e-reader. They don't tell us what they have or how much memory is installed, but if it is a convertable laptop with a touchscreen or similar then I would try Gnome.…
It's an i3 with AMD Radeon 6470M, I was thinking of using https://babluboy.github.io/bookworm/ as a library for PDFs but I think I'd rather stick with hackintosh on it(older macOS version/Mountain Lion) & simply use iBooks as a library for on device PDFs, since Preview is decent enough for my needs

Apple's chips are definitely faster and as an iPad user of since the first ones available, Apple UI stacks are really good. Especially now, since they're being aligned across the platforms. There's definitely stuff to complain about but I don't think this is meant to be an iPad competitor. There's been a shortage of proper tablets and alternatives in general.
But if this isn't in the same league, is it really an alternative?

Do you compare to Android with Google services or without/with microg? It makes a big difference.
Which would be better? Why? Are you thinking of push notifications, or is it something else? About push notifications, UnifiedPush is quickly becoming an interesting alternative: https://unifiedpush.org/
