Pine64 is an organization that designs, manufactures, and sells single-board computers, notebook computers, and smartphones. In 2015 Pine Microsystems offered its first product, the Pine A64, a single-board computer designed to compete with the popular Raspberry Pi in both power and price. While this time the company has developed a cheapest ever Tablet that runs Linux with a keyboard for a 2 in 1 form factor.

The PINETAB is similar in both form, in functioning as well as underlying ARM64 architecture to the original 11.6″ PINEBOOK. The Linux powered TAB is powered by the same Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit Processor used in our popular PINE A64 Single Board Computer. The optional keyboard and trackpad – which doubles-up as a screen cover – effectively converts the PineTab into a petite on-the-go laptop with a touch screen functionality. It runs numerous mainline Linux distributions as well as *BSDs and Android.

As a new open-source platform, the PineTab development is an ongoing process and represents a great opportunity to get involved with computing on a different level, to customize and personalize the portable computer experience, to understand what is going on beneath the surface.
