The defining choice with the new Juno Tab 4 isn't the silicon, it's the software stack: buyers pick from Debian running Phosh, Plasma Mobile, or GNOME, or opt for a conventional Kubuntu 26.04 LTS or Ubuntu 26.04 LTS install. That makes Juno Computers one of the few vendors shipping a touch-first tablet built around the mobile Linux interfaces that have spent years maturing on phones like the PinePhone, now running on x86 hardware fast enough to act as a full PC.

Juno is selling two variants. The Juno Tab 4 10.5″ LTE uses an octa-core Intel Core i3-N300 Alder Lake-N chip rated up to 3.8 GHz at a 7W TDP, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5-4800 and a 1TB M.2 2242 SATA SSD. Its 10.5 inch display runs at 1920 x 1280 and 500 nits, and a Quectel EG25-G modem adds 4G LTE Cat 4 plus GPS/GNSS. The cellular radio means the tablet can place calls and send texts like an oversized phone, and the fanless, passively cooled chassis keeps it silent. It weighs 590 grams (1.3 pounds) and measures 246 x 172 x 9mm (9.7 x 6.8 x 0.4 inches).

The Juno Tab 4 13″ is the first Juno tablet with an Intel Core Ultra chip, an entry-level Core Ultra 5 115U Meteor Lake part with two P-cores, four E-cores, and two LP E-cores, topping out at 4.2 GHz within a 15W envelope. It carries 16GB of LPDDR5-5600 and a 1TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive on the larger M.2 2280 form factor, and its three Xe-core integrated GPU clocks up to 1.8 GHz, enough to take on some PC gaming. The 13.3 inch panel steps up to 2560 x 1600, cooling moves to dual fans, and the magnesium-aluminum alloy body weighs 850 grams (1.87 pounds). Both tablets ship with detachable backlit keyboards, so either works as a laptop as readily as a slate.

For the open hardware crowd, the appeal is that these are unlocked x86 Linux PCs rather than locked-down ARM tablets: standard NVMe and SATA storage, Intel Wi-Fi 6, and full desktop application support, with the OS images built on Debian and Ubuntu bases you can rebuild or replace. Juno hasn't announced pricing yet, though the previous Juno Tab 3 launched at $699 (€642). Specs are live on Juno's site now, and the Linux Stuff channel has posted hands-on videos of both the 10.5″ LTE and the 13″ models.
