Pine64 has confirmed that its open-source e-ink tablet is returning. The PineNote was announced in 2021, building on the success of its non-SBC devices like the PinePhone (and later Pro model), the PineTab, and PineBook devices. Like most of Pine64’s devices, software support is largely tackled by the community. But only a small natch of developer units were ever sold, primarily by enthusiasts within the open-source community who had the knowledge and desire to work on getting a modern Linux OS to run on the #Hardware, and adapt to the e-ink display. That process has taken a while, as Pine64’s […] You’re reading Pine64’s Linux-Powered E-Ink Tablet is Making a Return, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu. Do not reproduce elsewhere without (...)

If you’re looking to kick the tyres on some AI image processing/recognition tasks and you own an older Raspberry Pi, the new AI Camera add-on may be of interest. While the $70 Raspberry Pi AI Kit only works with a Raspberry Pi 5, the $70 AI camera works with all of the Raspberry Pi boards which boast the relevant camera connector port (spoiler: most, including the Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 400). This product is the fruits of Raspberry Pi’s ongoing partnership with Sony Semiconductor Solutions, using the latter’s IMX500 image sensor and boasting a 12.3 MP resolution that […] You’re reading Raspberry Pi’s New $70 AI Camera Works With All Pi Models, a blog post from OMG!

Juno Tab 3 Tablet Expensive, And I’m Not Sure Why…

Juno Computers have announced their latest Linux tablet, the Juno Tab 3, and it’s available to buy preloaded with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Which is great. The slate is powered by a low-power Intel N100 processor, boasts a healthy 12 GB RAM, an internal 512 GB M.2 SSD, and comes fronted by a 12.1-inch 2K touch display. Very agreeable. It also comes with a detachable keyboard accessory (in matching colour), enabling owners to turn their tablet into a portable productivity hub. Sounds good — so what’s the catch? The price tag.

Looking for a powerful new Linux laptop? The new KDE Slimbook VI may very well appeal. Unveiled at Akademy 2024, KDE’s annual community get-together, the KDE Slimbook VI marks a major refresh from earlier models in the KDE Slimbook line. And this thing ain’t no slouch – a dedicated benchmark page shows how this model compares to the preceding versions (spoiler: better). The 16-inch KDE Slimbook VI is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU with integrated NPU for local AI/ML workloads.

Launched less than a year ago, the Raspberry Pi 5 has proven widely popular with single-board computing fans and Linux ARM enthusiasts thanks to its increased performance, memory, and PCIe bus for expansion. But until now the Raspberry Pi 5 has only been available in two variants: a $60/£57 model with 4 GB RAM, and a $80/£77 model with 8 GB RAM.
