> aspect ratio The specs say 16:10...
Where? I couldn't find the specs for it, but the resolution is stated as 2880x1920 which ought to be 3:2.
yes the resolution seems to indicate 3:2, but they also write 16:10 - out of what, it is unclear.
The tablet size is 11.15'' x 8'' , i.e. around 10:7 .

I disagree, it's potentially a much more versatile format. What's needed for use as a laptop (aside from a disregard for ergonomics) is a k/b with an extra battery for weight/balance, and actual friction hinges to hold the tablet at the desired angle. The tablet itself could then have smaller batteries and be lighter, maybe as an option.
> a k/b with an extra battery for weight/balance, and actual friction hinges to hold the tablet at the desired angle. which doesn't exist. You can't just design half of a device and tell customers that 3rd parties will come up with the rest... in time.
Or, BT keyboards with trackpads (they do not consume much power) including hinges could be in commerce.
Why did they have to use a micro HDMI port? Couldn't they have done dual USB-C and made one the DisplayPort output? MicroHDMI is not a very nice connector, it's a lot of pins under mechanical stress from the heavy, rigid HDMI people generally attach to it.

Did you assume it definitely will support DP out for both?

Yeah but a 1 GHz N200 yeesh. Everything else looks great.
If they make a Ryzen 7040 APU version, I'll take it as my daily driver.
The lack of low-tdp products on AMD side was also one of the reasons given by pcengines to discontinue their embedded line. AMD's last 6W APU was the 2-core R1102G which is now a couple generations old.
Has anyone tried their Starfighter? They've been selling it for about a year; but I have yet to see a proper review. Wait time of 4-5 months is a dealbreaker for me; but perhaps someone has gone through with it?
I can't help but feel like an x86 tablet is a non starter, the architecture is just too power thirsty compared to ARM.
Somewhat related - will we ever see linux on old iPads? Old iPads can't get updated anymore, they can't easily browse the web, apps can't get updated or reinstalled... Basically recycle material or dust catchers. I'd like to jail break or whatever my old iPads and have them as simple linux tablets.
