Yeah, the RasPad 3 was designed before the CM4 was announced. I expect they'd have incorporated it if the timing had been right. Looks like the Cute Pi (linked to elsewhere here) meets that criteria, albeit with some I/O sacrifices (ethernet port, etc.) After a week of using the RasPad 3 with an 8GB Pi 4, I can say that the battery life averages 5 hours. The fan on it isn't PWM controlled, and I'm amazed it gets 5 hours with it spinning at 100% the whole time. Luckily the fan isn't overly loud. The Cute Pi likely will beat it in these aspects. I have to say, that the thin tablet UI on top of Rasbian isn't so great. The touch keyboard works, but is a PITA. So I wouldn't recommend using it the recommended way without something like Lenovo's bluetooth trackpoint keyoard. I wonder how the Cute Pi will differ. There are a number of touch-focused UIs available for Linux through GNOME, KDE, and others. See PinePhone for examples. I wonder if one of those would have more polish than what the RasPad 3's Rasbian flavor has. In spite of it's many flaws, I am stoked to have something in a tablet form factor that I could connect to my LAN and run services from. Right now, I use it to chat online and pull up web pages while I am gaming on my Linux desktop PC. I'd like to see how it can help with streaming - a seperate device can keep it up in case of a Proton/Wine crash on the PC. Versus a hypothetical laptop, the tablet form factor gives some more flexibility in terms of how I position and mount it at my desk.
