The first Juno Tablet is now available for pre-order for $429 and up, and it can be configured with one of several different touchscreen-friendly mobile Linux distributions. . Just bear in mind that Juno is selling the tablet as a beta product: some of the hardware is not yet supported by the software.

Update
New one today:
> If you are in the market for a Linux tablet you might be interested in the new piece of hardware created by Juno Computers. In the form of the aptly name Juno Tablet, now available to purchase priced at $429.
> Equipped with a 10.1 inch display and offering users a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, the tablet features an IPS touchscreen LCD display and is available with three different storage options, providing either 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of on-board storage.
> The Linux tablet is also equipped with an array of useful connections in the form of a single USB 3.1 Type-C (with charging and video out support), 1 x USB 3.0 Type-A, mini HDMI, a microSD card reader and a handy 3.5mm headphone jack.
More on Sunday:
> The Juno tablet is a 10.1-inch Linux tablet that ships with Manjaro Linux or Mobian, and is powered by an Intel Celeron N5100 quad-core Jasper Lake mobile processor.
> The Linux tablet comes with a 1920×1200 resolution IPS touchscreen display, 8GB LPDDR4 soldered on the main board, and a choice between a 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB SSD. Customers can select one of the three Linux distributions with Mobian, as well as Manjaro Linux with either Phosh or Plasma mobile environments.
Now The Register:
> Linux kit shifter, Juno, has a new gadget available for pre-order: a $425 x86-64 tablet with a choice of Linux distros on it. In the UK, that's £449 including VAT.
> The promised device looks decent. It will have a quad-core "Jasper Lake" Celeron N5100, a 1920 x 1200 10.1-inch touchscreen, 8GB of non-upgradable RAM and a choice of SSD capacities: 256GB, 512GB or a terabyte. The CPU runs at a not-too-rapid 1.1GHz, but can turbo-boost up to 2.8GHz. The basic tablet is all you get, the stylus is an optional extra.
And also Jack Wallen:
> Juno Computers brings to market one of the first commercial Linux tablets that could be consumer-friendly and a viable option for those wanting an open source mobile device.
> The promise of a Linux tablet has been one so many in the community have been holding their breath over. Every so often a company will make a promise, only to fail on the delivery. If Juno Computers has anything to say about it, that all changes with a Debian-based, Mobian Linux/KDE Plasma device.
> The new tablet has a 10.1", full HD touchscreen that also has an optional stylus pen, which is an extra $22. The new tablet is powered by an Intel Celeron N5100 4 Core CPU that runs at 1.1 GHz and includes a 2.8GHz turbo and 8GB LPDDR4 RAM. Internal storage is 256 GB and is upgradeable to 1TB. The display features a 60HZ refresh rate and an FHD IPS touchscreen at 1920 x1200.
Another one for Tuesday:
> Juno Computers has unveiled the Juno Tablet, a tablet for Linux enthusiasts. Offered with Mobian, Plasma Mobile or Phosh based on Manjaro, the Juno Tablet relies on the Intel Celeron N5100, a Jasper Lake processor from last year that has a 6 W TDP and four CPU cores that can boost to 2.8 GHz when needed. For reference, the Intel Celeron N5100 contains an Intel UHD Graphics iGPU with 24 Execution Units (EU), too.
> Additionally, the Juno Tablet has 8 GB of LPDDR4 RAM clocked at 2,144 MHz and 256 GB to 1 TB of storage. Meanwhile, these components are powered by a 3,200 mAh battery that supports up to 36 W fast charging via the tablet's USB 3.1 Type-C port. Incidentally, the Juno Tablet features 3.5 mm audio, mini HDMI, microSD card and USB 3.0 Type-A ports, as well as 1 W stereo speakers and two cameras. Unfortunately, neither the speakers, nor the 2 MP webcam or 5 MP primary camera work yet on any Linux distribution.
