Open_slate MEGATHREAD

Agree with the others that are looking for a keyboard folio that also provides a degree of protection. This unit will be for traveling so I can leave my not-rugged-at-all laptop at home.:grinning_face:

With Pro display, what is the flicker percentage?

Thank you

i hope you can confirm before we have to commit to choosing the keyboard option. i won’t want to travel with two keyboards.

If you’re unsure whether to buy because we haven’t confirmed a feature/function yet, I’d suggest that you delay buying it until we confirm. You can add an accessory, such as the keyboard, at a later stage.

We don’t have that data yet as the display is yet to be calibrated and configured for the open_slate. We can test this once we have that and report.

Hi, I noticed the pro is led light. Is there an option to reduce the blue light and flickering?

The Android Nightlight feature changes the colour profile to warmer red, available on Linux too. Flickering is a low level hardware matter.

I’m new to crowdfunding and pledges. I missed the deadline for pledging with open_slate. Mycenius stated I can still order. I do not see open_slate has a button to order. Can you guide me? Or send me a link to the order page?

They start accepting preorders in 3 days , https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/braxtechnologies/open_slate

Hi, since Brax3 ā€˜26 production was delayed due to current RAM issue do you expect Slate to be delayed as well? I read you’ve just changed supplier for phone’s manufacture, did you managed to secure RAM delivery for Slate production as well?

I just wonder for how long (of course approximately!) I’ll ā€œfreezeā€ my funds if I decide to pledge. Still pretty sweet deal though;)

The delivery timeline we’re putting out there is what we believe we can achieve in normal conditions. Usually you’ll have to manage tech challenges along the way, which can be more or less predicted if you have the experience in the tech.

These days, there are more challenges than that - geopolitical (tariffs), operational (ram shortage). There might be something else that comes up.

We will do what we can to deliver sooner even. But we can’t promise.
That’s why we offer refunds, as an insurance to some crazy stuff happening.

As for RAM - we have contracts in place, so we have security in that regard.

if I missed the pledge before it ended, is there another way to order?

You should ask this in the Megathread rather than separately. But yes you can just continue to order via the Indiegogo site indefinitely until BraxTech formerly open their store.

Just to confirm. Has the shipping date or expected receiving date changed ? Or is it still at late August like mentioned above ? Meaning if I order tomorrow, and I live in Canada or the US when would I expect it to arrive? Also if Im in the middle east like Egypt or Jordan. Sorry just wanna confirm.

Remind me. If get on the indie gogo tomorrow, and order the slate, does it take my $ now, or when it ships?

Any chance of a pricing preview?

Just over 3 hours away from the launch, how many super early bird pricing units will be available?

They previously said they will try to keep early bird going for 24h.

to get a privacy focused device you first need to give up your privacy by signing for Indiegogo with horrible ToS and Privacy policy especially focused on collecting all your data and sharing it. right.
