I really wonder its battery life with this new Intel processor. Both with average usage and also in idle mode. I had a tablet with Intel Atom CPU on it about 10 years ago, the performance and battery life was good during usage but it would stay only 4-5 days in idle before running out of battery (even if left it with 100% battery). But I can leave my iPad aside and come back to it 2 weeks later and it still holds mos…
Is there a linux equivalent of goodnotes?
Getting this tablet and running linux would be ideal as long as i could have something like goodnotes

You may be onto something, as Lenovo shut down the super-badass ultra-phone. https://www.androidauthority.com/lenovo-legion-phone-shutdow... But reciprocally, what's the new ultra-hot device? Gaming decks. Lenovo just announced theirs today. Steam, Asus, and dozen of others have amazing devices. And there are still gaming-centric phones galore. This should be an easy ask. It should be a lock. Android alas is kind of…
I wish Android and Linux would just merge. Give people access to a Linux userland that lets you install Nix packages(Most anything but Nix or similar would be a step backwards from Android's reliability during updates), and then Android could very easily be most people's only OS. If people could plug in their phone and run Linux apps on a full size monitor they'd probably pay a lot more for the phone, knowing they di…
I can't see anything about storage, does this have an SSD and if so how large? Looks very interesting to me, I'm just not ready to give up storage like most of the Chromebook options.
A bit ago I did a bit of an experiment with an old surface tablet, where I threw some linux distros at it to see what the experience was. I tried Ubuntu, Manjaro, and Fedora, and all were extremely janky to downright broken. On screen keyboard was completely broken with Wayland, with some apps like Firefox just not popping it open, to others ignoring input. X had trouble with screen rotation. Fedora wouldn't let me p…
>On screen keyboard was completely broken with Wayland, with some apps like Firefox just not popping it open Did you check if FF was actually running in wayland mode? Not trying to blame you, the current situation is pretty dire. The only reliable way of finding out if something is actually using wayland is running xeyes and seeing whether the eyes move above the target window.
In Firefox all you have to do is navigate to about:support and check verify that Window Protocol shows wayland.

I haven't seen one of those in many many years! I wish HDMI in general would die and let displayport take it place.
What's the practical difference? With USB-C there's power delivery. DisplayPort has..?
Is this any good for regular full stack programming, running a couple of docker containers?
But it's sold out already.

Would love to see it, but my guess would be only if there's ever regulation to force Apple to allow it under climate concerns or right to repair type policy.
I think there’s a reasonable argument that manufacturers should be required to open up hardware when they no longer support it. The problem is I doubt that would achieve what most people here seem to expect fur older devices. You might be able to run a really basic Linux on the older devices, but their very limited RAM will severely constrain what you can run on them. The native OS is so optimised for the hardware, t…
"5-years of updates - Backed by secure updates delivered via the LVFS." Hmmmm. Why a five year cutoff? Does this have some custom firmware not in mainline Linux that would preclude updates beyond five years?
