i’m seriously considering permanently abandoning laptops in favor of tablets. i spent a day working on my wife’s tablet today and it was fine enough for when you’re on the go that the small screen isn’t too much of an issue. plus, you get an extended battery life, no noise, more comfort carrying it around, and the best of all, for much less money

the biggest downside is that, since tablets are technically embedded devices, they’re much more locked up and you basically have no access to the system with the stock rom

so im looking for a cheap tablet ($100-$200), around 10 inches, that i can easily (or at least reliably) install linux to. any recommendations?

    Which service did you find to be the most reliable?

      I used shop and ship but there wasn’t much choice in the UAE. It belonged to Aramex at the time which was a respected UPS like in the region. It was a while back. I can’t speak for what they are worth now and how they work in places where Aramex isn’t as well implanted.

        I’ve used Aramex, they’re okay.
