New Braxtech Tablet (or Laptop) with UT on mainline linux kernel

Named "Open Slate":

Note: about "mainline linux kernel" (or near mainline kernel and anyway recent kernel) for Ubuntu Touch, it's a guess on my part.

@libremax Indeed, Ubuntu Touch is cited as a potential operating system available, provided that porting is considered.
To be continued...

To be honest, I think we shouldn't be hoping for this to be coming anytime soon. There are only renders and the SOC is very new. I highly doubt it'll actually be shipping this year. And let's not even talk about a UT port yet
I'm sorry if I'm killing the excitement and joy but in my experience with crowdfunding projects, they're almost never on time, even those that already exists and ready to manufacture.

This is nice though. I hope it'll become a real thing. UT needs a good reference tablet device. I personally want a tablet.

@kugiigi somebody should pick up the pine64 devices up again the whole port family for the rockchip is in disrepair.

I didn't mention the projected availability date, but it does exist: "Estimated delivery date is August '26." (for Android version probably)

For the brax3, 8 months passed between the start of the funding campaign and the first deliveries under iodéOS. The first version of UT was released 4 months later, and the first “stable” version, which can be installed via ubports-installer, is not yet available yet after 14 months months since the start.

So I'm going to go out on a limb and hazard a guess: the first "stable" version of the open slate tablet running UT could be available between August 2026 and December 2027.
