Open_slate MEGATHREAD

As of the accessories, will there be a German keyboard version in the folio case?

Based on your 5 day notification window of pre-orders I guess we should not expect anything on IndieGoGo this week?

MicroHDMI is useless. That’s why almost no device uses it anymore.

4 USB-C and only one regular USB ports is also not good. 3 C and 2 A would be much better.

The issue with microHDMI is that, you will always need to use an adaptor for it, which makes it indifferent from carying around a usb-c adapter all the time like other devices. A full sized HDMI port would be awesome, as you wouldn’t need to cary around any accessoires at all.

I can see why a dedicated display connector would be useful in general, for example if all the usb-c ports are already in use and you just need an extra display.

Years ago you could download Pluralsight.com courses on your PC. They have done away with that…. Its still allowed but only on Android and iOS devices. Hoping that Open_Slate can accommodate the Pluralsight requirements. Don’t know if the device needs to be attached to a phone number or not. I’ll be asking them that…

What else should I be asking Pluralsight to see if I can use an Android tablet to accommodate their DRM requirements?

I just installed it on Brax3 and it works.

Hi Community.

The moment we’ve been building toward is almost here.

The open_slate IndieGoGo campaign launches on 24th of February, at 11:30AM PST.

Secure the best pricing with our Super Early Bird tier - available in limited quantities only.

You can follow the campaign on IndieGoGo. Following gets you notified when it launches.


:sparkles: Major Upgrade: Pro Version Display

We’re excited to announce a significant upgrade to the Pro version display:

2.8K OLED Display Specs:

  • 1 Billion colors (vs. 16.7M on IPS displays)
  • 600 nits indoor brightness with 1000 nits peak for outdoor viewing
  • 120Hz refresh rate for incredibly smooth scrolling and responsiveness
  • True blacks and infinite contrast ratio

This is a professional-grade display for creators, designers, and anyone who wants the absolute best visual experience. The Super Early Bird price for the Pro version is slightly increased to $549 to reflect this upgrade.


:loudspeaker: Help Spread the Word

Spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.
Share with friends, communities, forums, or social media. The only way this project grows is through word of mouth (We won’t be giving Google any money to advertise!)

Glade to see the OLED screen happening. I didn’t expect you to go with something this good, but I’m not complaining.

I would guess that the IndieGoGo campaign would just be for the tablet at first without any accessories?

Accessories will be sold from the get go. We may add more accessories later on. Those can be added to the order at any time.

Awesome! Might be too early to ask as I don’t know how far you are into development of accessories, but what keyboard layouts will be available? I would specifically be interested in a German layout.

We will have to validate whether we can offer layouts different than QWERTY at a later stage.

how it can be privacy focused if it runs android? google will spy on android device. Or do you have some your/special android version?

I want linux anyway, just curios about android x privacy

It’s degoogled like the Brax3 phone.

The Adnroid will be complete deGoogled. deGoogling Android tablets is less common since few tablets support it. Ours will be deGoogled from the get go. You can’t install Google-powered Android even if you wanted.

What size is the early bird flock?

it means 256g or 512 onboard, m.2 ssd any size, and external usb-c/usb-a any size

Will be 200 units for each SKU - Pro and Base.
If it sells out very quickly, we will extend the quantities a bit, to keep it alive for at least 48-72hrs.

Unlike the previous campaign, this time around payments will be collected at the end of the initial campaign - which is about 30 days from start. Hoping that this can help some folks secure the super early bird without a burden from the get go.
