I love the look of this device. If it ends up around the price point stated or even a bit more I would buy one. Both for development and to support projects like this.

Linux in tablet form is really my fantasy tech revolution that I want to come true.

Just use a Surface Go? Tablet linux has been working well for years...

Without looking I'm going to assume that the Surface Go is not an open source hardware platform -- not to mention the fact that it's produced by a company that's been famously anti-open source for most of its existence.

I have used it on and off on a Surface Go, but I would prefer a dedicated device built with linux and open source in mind. Starlabs Starlite is the first tablet device that is a true daily driver with Linux (Pine Tab is not a daily driver in my eyes), and I am pleased to see more in the works.
