I really like the idea of an open hackable tablet but the screen resolution of 1280x800 might be limiting. My digital life revolves around my 11" iPad Pro (except for my GPU rig for ML and coding, and a MacBook for light weight dev and also writing) and the hires display is important.
- the_seraphim 7y agoSo take their plans and swap out the display for a better one? its hackable means its also customizable. also maybe once release is successful they can offer flavour variants with higher resolution screens, speciality hardware i dunno...
- penkia 7y agoWill see if we can source any higher resolution MIPI DSI display parts, the current one's cheaper though ;-)
- rchaud 7y agoIs it possible to buy higher-resolution display parts individually, or is there a minimum order size? Also, most Android/Windows OEMs low-end tablets are 1280 x 800, so I'm guessing higher-res screens strain their batteries and GPU too much for them to be viable?
- rjsw 7y agoThe 11" Pinebook ships with a HD display so they are available, don't know how big the production run of them is though.
- k_bx 7y agoI wonder how hard would it be to reuse the iPad as external monitor for the rPi..
- mycall 7y agoI have 1280x720 on my GPDWIN2 and it can be limited for sure.
