I wish this had a pen. I’m waiting for a Linux tablet that can be used with Krita.
Well there’s always the option to buy something like a Samsung Galaxy Book3 360. It’s a laptop that comes with an AMOLED touchscreen, a 360° hinge and the S-Pen. You can put a GNU/Linux distribution on it and enjoy free/libre and open-source software with a tablet-like user experience while keeping your integrated keyboard and touchpad (it’s the best of both worlds!), and the S-Pen is amazing and works on Linux because it uses standardised Wacom protocols. They’re not inexpensive though.
Why would you want a tablet with an Intel processor? Especially with Linux, which unlike Windows, runs perfectly fine on ARM.
Does everything run on ARM? Steam, Wine, stuff like that? Are the power optimisations as good on Linux/ARM as on x86? Not saying they aren’t, but I imagine on a laptop replacement thingy x86 makes sense due to this kind of support.

ARM chips use less power, that’s kind of the whole point.
This isn’t necessarily as true as it once was. X86 has made a lot of ground in power efficiency and ARM has made a lot of ground in performance
That’s not really the use case for a tablet. It’d be nice to run Android apps, but I think that’s possible on Linux on ARM.
Another fine kbin thumbnail image caching bug. Prepare for our entire instance to comment.
I want one! Well, I’d rather have one with a 10" display, but this looks good too.
Someone knows something like this with (possibly color) E-Ink?
Or maybe an E-Reader where you can go out of the reader application and install Android/Linux apps (e.g. you can “hack” them without much trouble)?
Nowhere near as powerful, but you might find this interesting https://beepy.sqfmi.com/? It has a similar display to e-ink
It’s a bit of a DIY thing but cool if you’re into that, especially if you already have a pi zero.
