A user-replaceable battery highlights a focus on sustainability and right-to-repair, at least as long as parts remain available for purchase.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The full specifications can be found here.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Although the product has yet to reach the crowdfunding stage, (and all the same caveats apply when backing a product that hasn&#8217;t actually shipped), the pre-order price of $399 for the base model might be appealing. The fact that the company has a track record of actually shipping products should give some comfort to those early adopters.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">With a range of open-source tablets, such as the Purism Librem 11 and Pine64 Pinetab2, as well as the myriad of Intel-based tablets (such as this Chuwi Hi10 x2 &#8211; Available on Amazon) where Linux can already be installed, only time will tell whether Brax can succeed in an already crowded market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Brax-Open_Slate-offers-an-open-source-Ubuntu-and-Android-tablet-with-M-2-support.1213236.0.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brax Open_Slate offers an open source Ubuntu and Android tablet with M.2 support https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Brax-Open_Slate-offers-an-open-source-Ubuntu-and-Android-tablet-with-M-2-support.1213236.0.html Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":206936,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc5\/BraxOpenSlateTeaser-27-1-26.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-206935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206935"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206935"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":206937,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206935\/revisions\/206937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
