MagyarPineTab: Affordable and detachable 2-in-1 tablet orderable for US$119.99 by the end of next week
PINE64 has confirmed that the PineTab will be available to order by the end of the month. Announced in January 2019, the Pinetab has been beset by delays. The PineTab has risen in price by US$20 since being announced too, with the tablet now costing US$99.99. The detachable keyboard remains priced at US$19.99, bringing the total cost up to US$119.98 before shipping and taxes.
The keyboard has six rows of backlit keys, a trackpad and attaches magnetically to the PineTab. The tablet itself includes the following hardware:
