Juno Tab 4 Is a Full Linux Tablet With Intel Core Ultra and a Keyboard

A Linux-First Tablet That Doesn't Compromise on the PC Part

Most tablets ask you to live inside a locked-down mobile OS. The Juno Tab 4, detailed on June 10, 2026, takes the opposite stance: it's a slate that runs a full desktop Linux distribution, with a detachable keyboard so you can treat it like a proper laptop the moment you need to. For the open-source crowd and the mini computing enthusiasts we write for, that's a refreshing pitch.

Juno Computers has been quietly building Linux tablets for a few generations now, and the fourth iteration splits into two distinct models aimed at different users.

Two Sizes, Two Very Different Intel Chips

The smaller Juno Tab 4 10.5" is built around an Intel Core i3-N300 Alder Lake-N processor in a fanless, silent design — a sensible, efficient chip for browsing, writing, and light development on the go. Step up to the Juno Tab 4 13" and you get an Intel Core Ultra 5 115U Meteor Lake processor, more memory, and integrated graphics capable enough to handle some PC gaming alongside the usual productivity work.

Both are genuine x86 computers, not ARM appliances, which means they run the same wide catalog of desktop Linux applications you'd install on any laptop. And both ship with detachable backlit keyboards, so the line straddles the tablet-laptop divide rather than picking a side.

Why a Linux Tablet Still Matters in 2026

There's a small but devoted audience for hardware that treats Linux as a first-class citizen instead of an afterthought, and the Linux tablet category scratches an itch nothing else quite reaches. You get touch-friendly portability without surrendering root access, package managers, or the ability to actually own and tinker with your device — the same self-hosting, maker-friendly ethos that drives interest in single-board computers and compact PCs.

The 10.5-inch model's fanless build is particularly appealing for a grab-and-go machine: no moving parts, no fan noise, and respectable battery efficiency from the N300. The 13-inch Core Ultra variant, meanwhile, is positioned as something closer to a do-everything portable workstation.

One Catch: Pricing Is Still Unannounced

The obvious missing piece is the price. Juno hasn't published figures for either Tab 4 model yet, and given that the previous generation landed in the several-hundred-dollar range, that detail will shape how the lineup is received. Still, as a statement of intent, the Juno Tab 4 is encouraging: full desktop Linux, real Intel silicon, and a keyboard in the box. For anyone who has wanted a tablet that respects the open-source way of working, this is one to keep an eye on.
