I really like the idea of an open hackable tablet but the screen resolution of 1280x800 might be limiting. My digital life revolves around my 11" iPad Pro (except for my GPU rig for ML and coding, and a MacBook for light weight dev and also writing) and the hires display is important.

Will see if we can source any higher resolution MIPI DSI display parts, the current one's cheaper though ;-)

Is it possible to buy higher-resolution display parts individually, or is there a minimum order size?

Also, most Android/Windows OEMs low-end tablets are 1280 x 800, so I'm guessing higher-res screens strain their batteries and GPU too much for them to be viable?

The 11" Pinebook ships with a HD display so they are available, don't know how big the production run of them is though.

I wonder how hard would it be to reuse the iPad as external monitor for the rPi..

I have 1280x720 on my GPDWIN2 and it can be limited for sure.
