It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

Tablet is almost free, just don't have a hinge and have a touchscreen. Release as Chromebook, it will run Android applications

Chromebook makes sense. They could also do full on Linux. Star labs has a tablet coming out, so they don't have to reinvent the wheel for software (I assume, I haven't tried touchscreen Linux).

A reminder that if something can run Android or ChromeOS doesn't mean drivers would be available for Linux. And usually they aren't.

You can order that tablet with Ubuntu, mint, Manjaro, zorin, elementary, etc. There's gotta be some kind of driver support to build on, no?
