Hi Linux nerds,
I’ve started up classes recently, and with being a recent convert and all, was a little curious to hear if anyone had any recommendations for a tablet capable of handling the workload of a student and that runs linux. I’m a bit of a neophyte when it comes to hardware (especially tablets, I’ve never had one in my life), though I’ve got enough experience to run Fedora on my PC.
My needs are pretty simple, I just need to be able to run libreoffice and take notes on the machine during lectures. Any insights as to where I should be looking?
I’ve got a 12. I really like it.
Get a DIY one and put your own memory and SSD in it. You’ll save £$\€ over the framework prices for those. I paid about £750 total for my maxed out 48GB/2TB one. Then slap something like Fedora on it and you’re good to go.
I got a Lenovo slim pen 2 as the framework stylus isn’t out yet. Pairing required holding the buttons for ages, but works great after that.
The only reason I can’t really buy one is that my job requires a really color accurate display, and the display on it is only like 66% sRGB. I’m hoping they release one with a better screen, cause other than that, it looks so awesome!
For Framework, they just need to release a screen. They did that for 13, and you can just replace it.
Hopefully they will release a decent screen for the 12. The screen on the 13 is 100% sRGB and the 16 is even better.
