The link makes it seem like crap hardware, and sure 4gb of ram is really crappy. But how does this compare with one of my kid’s Fire tablets? Does anyone have opinions on that?

    The ram options available for this tablet are better than what the iPad had when it first came out, and are pretty on par with more modern versions. Source

    The idea of using a tablet as a computer is not exactly a selling point for me. What id love to see is an app market space for tablets like this. Something that competes with Apple and Google; especially if it had a focus on home automation and security. Gaming would be a close second.

      You can’t really compare RAM between iPadOS and Linux, just like you can’t compare either to Windows or Android. The schedulers and even just how the OSs use RAM is too different. This is why Android needs 2x the ram of a similar device running a different OS.
