DeepComputing has introduced the DC-ROMA RISC-V Pad II, a $149 tablet that runs Ubuntu 24.04. This device features a 10.1-inch IPS touchscreen display with a resolution of 1920x1200 and is powered by the SpacemiT K1 SoC, which includes eight 64-bit RISC-V cores clocked at 2.0 GHz and an 800 MHz GPU. The base model comes with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, with options for 8GB and 16GB available. Storage options include 64GB eMMC, with a 128GB variant for the 16GB model. The tablet is equipped with a 6000 mAh battery, front and rear cameras, a USB Type-C 3.0 port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. While it is primarily aimed at developers and tech enthusiasts, it also supports a custom build of Android 15 AOSP. The tablet is expected to ship in September, with pre-orders available now. However, it may not perform as well as older ARM-based tablets, and its primary appeal lies in providing a platform for RISC-V development and exploration.
