Hurry up! $100 PineTab Linux Tablet is Finally Available for Pre-order
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Most of you must be already aware of Pine64’s flagship products [PinePhone][1] and Pinebook (or [Pinebook Pro][2]).
|
||||
|
||||
PineTab was planned to be made available back in 2019— however, PinePhone and Pinebook production was prioritized over it. Also, due to the factory lines closing for COVID-19 pandemic, the plan for PineTab was further postponed.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you will be happy to know that you can now pre-order the **PineTab Linux tablet** for just **$100.**
|
||||
|
||||
Even though PineTab is meant for early adopters, I’ll give you a brief description of its specifications and what you can expect it to do.
|
||||
|
||||
### PineTab specification
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
PineTab is a Linux tablet for $100 with which you can also attach a keyboard and some other modules to make the most out of it.
|
||||
|
||||
So, for just $100, it isn’t aiming to be “just another tablet” but something more functional for the users who prefer to have a useful tablet.
|
||||
|
||||
Before we talk more about it, let’s run down through the specifications:
|
||||
|
||||
* Display: 10-inch 720p IPS Screen
|
||||
* Quad-core A64 SoC
|
||||
* 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM
|
||||
* 2 MP front-facing camera and 5 MP rear camera
|
||||
* 64 GB eMMC flash storage
|
||||
* SD Card support
|
||||
* USB 2.0, USB-OTG, Digital video output, Micro USB
|
||||
* 6000mAh Battery
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can also add a magnetic backlit keyboard with PineTab for an additional $20.
|
||||
|
||||
You can see it in action here:

||||

|
||||
|
||||
For the first batch of PineTab, they are shipping the tablet with [UBports Ubuntu Touch][5]. In their [recent blog post][6], Pine64 also clarified why they chose UBports Ubuntu Touch:
|
||||
|
||||
> The reason for this choice being that Ubuntu Touch works well for a traditional tablet use-case and, at the same time, converts into a more traditional desktop experience when the magnetic keyboard is attached.
|
||||
|
||||
They’ve also mentioned that the PineTab’s software will be convergent with both PinePhone and PineBook.
|
||||
|
||||
### PineTab Expansion Options
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
To expand the functionality of PineTab, there’s an adapter board available on which you will be able to attach the expansions you want.
|
||||
|
||||
The adapter board will already be present inside, you just need to remove the back cover, work on a single screw to swap/add expansions.
|
||||
|
||||
The following expansions will be available to start with:
|
||||
|
||||
* M.2 SATA SSD add-on
|
||||
* M.2 LTE (and GPS) add-on
|
||||
* [LoRa][8] module add-on
|
||||
* RTL-SDR module add-on
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It is worth noting that you only use any one of the expansions at a time no matter how many expansions you have attached to the board.
|
||||
|
||||
Some extensions like LTE or LoRa module will probably make PineTab a great point-of-sales terminal as well.
|
||||
|
||||
As of now, there’s no information on what it would cost per add-on for the expansion board — but hopefully we’ll get to know more about the details right before the pre-order starts.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to get PineTab Linux tablet
|
||||
|
||||
PineTab is now available for pre-order. If you are planning to get one, you should hurry up. From my experience with Pine devices, the pre-order might close in a couple of days. You can order it from their website:
