This is interesting to me because I'm in the market for a new tablet.

Is this more of a hacker device (IR blaster, odd assortment of ports, full OS, etc.) or consumer? It should ideally pass the wife test...

Not a ton of ports, USB 2.0 Type-A and Micro-B, Micro-HDMI out, SD card. But there's an expansion card slot, which is pretty unheard of for a tablet. So you can add like an SSD or a LoRa radio or what-have-you.

It doesn't sound like this is for you. If "wife test" means the wife using and it and liking it, pretty sure it would fail. It's not what this is marketed for. An Amazon Kindle tablet would be more what you're looking for, if this is the price point you want.
