I wish they told us what it is. It can only be USI, MPP, Wacom AES or Wacom EMR. To be fair only Wacom EMR would be a serious option, unless wobbly lines aren’t an issue. To be fair USI isn’t that bad. Wacom AES and and MPP are awful for drawing. Unless you using MPP 2 that is used in the slim pen 2, but no one implemented that yet.
@@chidorirasenganz im a Linux person though, that's why ive been looking for a device like this. I don't use any apple stuff, and ive been trying to use windows as little as possible
Now THIS is what I've been wanting for awhile now. A tablet with the ability to run different OS's and it performs really well. Light gaming and powerful media ability. A stylus for artists. It's hitting an untapped market. That being said, a 600 dollar price tag is really damn steep.
@@LelandHasGames Agree to disagree I guess. They built this from the ground up with what looks like really good hardware (and including the peripherals, which you pay extra for with the big competitors... my tab s8 didn't even come with a charger). I think all things considered, this is a reasonable price for a somewhat niche product; as long as the software support is there.
This looks like a major milestone in open source development! This looks fully viable for common functions and reasonably competitive! If regulators would just spend 1/10% of what they give lawyers suing one another over tech monopolies to this great open source project, the walls to the "walled gardens" could easily be toppled in the most beneficial way! I would love to see more on this product -battery life? other OS? FydeOS on other (old legacy) machines.
@@CheeseOfMasters I will check out the TB. It is an incredible time of threats and opportunities from tech. Open source is our only hope to escape scams and gaslighting.
Would be interesting to see stylus performance on drawing apps like Krita under linux. I could see it competing in the art tablet department if the experience is good.
I've watched another video and apparently it's horrendously terrible to the point where it's unusable. I'm not sure if performance will change through software but the Linux subsystem is very very very slow. Perhaps the android app krita would be a better fit.
This is like so cool. Now only if we can get a Pinebook Pro or something with an RK3588S or even just an adaptable mainboard to fit in modular laptop bodies like Framework.
Great tablet with decent software support. Usable for both tinkering and as a workhorse. Probably won't come cheap though. Wish a bigger brand made something like this. I wonder how did they get the Android subsystem working on Chromium OS without Google's approval.
They're really pumping out those RK3588/3588S chips. I honestly haven't been this interested in a new chipset in...decades. I have an Orange Pi 5 on pre-order and I'm checking Ali Express every day to see if it has shipped yet. I'd like to see everything that this tablet can do. And, if you have pre-ordered the Orange Pi, I'd love to see at least an unboxing and boot into the Orange Pi OS as soon as possible. They have shipped to some RU-vidrs already.
Great hands-on video and really liked the device. Good to see that these less known manufacturers are putting great effort to design a high-end device, including the SOC, build quality, display and ports. Would definitely like to see a dedicated video for setting up the LINUX and Android apps on this device. Also, if you cover at least some degree about using this device as a work device including using apps like LibreOffice for word and excel usage, some basic editing work and battery life, that would be great. A lot of people actually looking for these kind of devices for portability and battery life and the ability to run both mobile optimized and full blown desktop apps.
Thanks again for the timely "1st Looks." At $595 it seems to be great tablet with excellent specifications, especially since it includes the keyboard and pen. I would really love to see some port over Microsoft's ARM WIndows 11 to it, but frankly I can do about everything I need now in Android or Linux. I don't keep up with all your videos, but have you seen anyone else using the RK3588 in 10" or 7" tablet. I love to see a 7" $250-400 gaming console using this chip.
If it could only also work as an external monitor I'd buy one right now. My only issue with tablets is that when they are too slow they become useless.
I'm all for pushing ARM and Linux adoption forward. And from the $600 price point, clearly this is a purchase for enthusiasts. Because as a consumer, why in the world would I buy an ARM based tablet for $600 when I could get more power and more installable Linux distros (including dual booting) from an older x86 Microsoft Surface or Samsung for almost same price?
Do you know how to dual boot Linux on a Samsung tablet? I thought it was pretty unoptimized and difficult especially without the unlocked bootloader like the fyde tablet
My very first ARM Linux experience was on an TF300T. Great machine for it's time and one of the few ARM systems which actually had functional GPU drivers on desktop Linux. I hacked the hell out of that system, got several 3D games and even a couple Windows RT programs running. Those were fun times. And this was before the Raspberry Pi...
this is a tablet in the middle of a the path to became a laptop, love it, I saw the terminal on the video, wondering if is good for coding, look like really portable
2560x1600 is WQXGA... not QHD, not 2K. but nobody's been able to label resolutions correctly since the gaming monitor industry bastardized DCI's formatting nomenclature.
Great video! Lovely piece of hardware and software right here! It would be awesome to see Blender running on Linux there (with a benchmark scene would be great), maybe even something like Godot and test if low level 3D graphics gamedev could be possible. Looking forward to see the next video! :)
So two things I'm curious about: - How well will the Nreal Air glasses work with Fyde OS? - How well does Moonlight run on it? Either the Android or Linux client. Though even if those two don't work well, I might replace my Galaxy Tab S6 with this for the Firefox linux build, because the Firefox Android app suuuuuccckkss on tablets. Having an actual desktop browser on my tablet would be sweet
I like what I see Looks like it’s close to hitting the shelves so I’ll wait to see what it’s going to retail for. Judging from the Indiegogo pricing, it’s not going to be cheap, but maybe less expensive than better known brand names.
I think everyone wants to know how Windows 11 for ARM runs on this. There is a huge market for devices like this that run Windows 11/Office 365 that aren't at the surface pro business premium cost level.
Looks nice but at a silly price, which may be it's undoing. When you look at how cheap an RK3588S based product can be produced, it hammers home how expensive the other elements really are. It should be noted that the chances of hardware accelerated video drivers on any Linux Distro will be almost certainly zero. Odd pronunciation of the OS considering that it has a definitive Y in it. At 5 nits, the screen is undoubtedly very nice indeed.
Eta Prime is the best T.E.C.H. creator on any socials ❤ The dude covers, let's see . . . fpgas, dex, linux, mini pcs, laptops, tablets, smartphones, emu, sbc's, handhelds, palmtops, controllers, Prime Days, monitors, consoles, ducking stations, magnanimous how-tos, peltier coolers, etc. One video per day, and sometimes two --- a content-making machine weekends included. Importantly, family friendly, no swearing, no cursing, no needless entendre. Eta Prime deserves 10m+ subs. Kindest regards, neighbours and friends. P.s. I am liking all things Arm, including this tablet. Might it be pronounced " FIGH DEE "? I think so.
I'd love to see Fortnite Android and Krita Linux running on here! And thanks for the video, this device looks absolutely perfect for me. I love how you look at these things from a usability standpoint over features and see if it's actually a device worth it's price or even just makes sense. You're awesome man and I really appreciate you doing this!
Could you please test if it can it run Blender? (I fear that the linux GPU drivers do not support OpenGL 3 so that it won't start; please run Blender from terminal and watch output in terminal. Thank you!)
Last year you ran this OS on a raspberry pi. It seems it's gotten even more polished but the name is still confusing. Is it pronounced Fide OS or Fayde OS? I've been running brunch instead because Google play but this OS looks pretty good.
s the sim tray for decoration only.....i ask cuz you didnt mention it .....at all...knowing how much extra storage we can add or whether it supports lte and if so which bands?.....are very important things you should not leave out.
Only thing I don't get is why they went with an eMMC-Module, that looks like a really expensive and slow option since Khadas or Radxa got the same chip working with a M.2 NVMe-SSD but this is an amazing piece of tech. I'd definitely go with this if I wouldn't already have a Laptop.
If it had 16 or 32 GB of RAM I would buy it in an instant. Can't take a device with only 8 GB seriously, though. Also need to see if JetBrains Rider is available for ARM64 now.
Might be crazy, BUT, can you get a linux distro with wine running, show off something like the FFXIV Endwalker benchmark on it ? Is it even capable of something like that ?
Actually, I looked it up, and it IS crazy. There is very little support for running x86 binaries on ARM through wine. There are some projects that attempt it, but too slow to be worth the effort.
Hopefully, Samsung dex like before allows us to install Samsung dex, this reminds me of the good old Samsung dex. We should have the capability to install multiple blown up software on dex to make it true dex.
With the latest RK12 android builds we've been seeing much better Vulkan performance and some devices are running at 2.6ghz instead of 2.4. Radxa has the latest rk12 build up on GitHub now but it only runs from sd. Waiting on a reworked build from them
Hello all, I am really just trying to find the cheapest tablet and tv box that will run the Ppsspp off google play with 2x gran turismo psp Ico . I can run it on my $400 chromebook but that’s still not tv ready or a cheap portable. Thanks ETA great channel
great concept; unfortunately the weight is quite heavy, 1325g tablet with keyboard and kickstand. negates the advantages of this form factor; there are laptop models in this price range with similar or even lighter weight
