It is shocking that no mainstream tablet manufacturer will let buyers exercise control over their device. At the very least, this means having root and being able to use it to purge unwanted software. Ideally, it also means being able to fully replace the stock OS with third party/open firmware.
- hahajk 2mo agoDoesn't the pixel tablet come with an unlocked bootloader?
- drnick1 2mo agoGood point, this seems to be a real alternative, and it even supports GrapheneOS.
- saidinesh5 2mo agoBut Pixel tablet is fairly old these days no? 3-4 years old these days?
- KetoManx64 2mo agoThe only one that does openly is Google at this point with their Pixel Tablet from 2024 or so, which I think they didn't do a second version of. I'm running GrapheneOS on mine, same with my Pixel phone.
- someguyornotidk 2mo agoSorry for the off-topic question but by any chance have you tried it with a stylus? I've read conflicting reports about how well this feature is supported. The pixel tablet is not available in my region and is _very_ expensive (for me) to import, so I really want to be sure it can replace my aging 6 year-old samsung tablet before I pull the trigger.
