The link makes it seem like crap hardware, and sure 4gb of ram is really crappy. But how does this compare with one of my kid’s Fire tablets? Does anyone have opinions on that?

    This is really meant to serve as a development platform though, so the price and capabilities probably matter less, and the default settings and such are probably not as tuned as they could be to offer the best performance or battery life.

    I don’t even think power management tools in stock Linux take RISCV into account yet lol

      Power management on “the most boring Intel chip imaginable” is still touch-and-go at times.
