The tablet is made from metal. The devices weighs 1.1Kgs and its thickness is 12mm. The weight of the device along with its specs are great. At the top, there is 2 cooling slots. And between the slots there’s a Republic of Gamers logo.
At the back, thee’s a rear camera and other cooling slots with an OG engraving. And at the top, there’s a sentence that reads: « For Those Who Dare. » There’s also a transparent panel on the back, where you can see some of the internals of the tablet with RGB lights. And there’s also a mount base to fixate the tablet on a table. Behind the mount, there’s a M.2 slot, where you can use to up the storage. It is an excellent feature. There’s also another slot for an SD card.
For now, everything about this device is greatđ. I really like the transparent panel with the RGB colors. The tablet also attaches to an external keyboard using magnets.

It also supports Adaptive Sync, which adjusts the frame count with the screen’s refresh rate. Dolby Vision is also supported. After experimenting with it, the screen offers saturated colors with satisfactory contrast. It is great to watch content, play on and even for design.
The tablet can be equipped with up to 16GB of RAM LPDDR5. The storage is up to 1TB SSD PCIe M.2 Gen 4. The device uses AI to support Noise Cancelation, it also comes with 3D mics.
