Just buy a reasonably-spec’d yet cheaper x86 tablet you could find online, slap Ubuntu into it and call it day.
ARM is such a joke for productivity, even the server-grade ones.
” 1.5Ghz MediaTek MT8163A quad-core CPU” won’t be good for computing intensive tasks like programming etc
too late, have already switched to the mac.
