The tablet PC can use the standard Raspbian Stretch firmware image with some modifications to the config.txt and DTS files. For example, audio is not supported in the board, and can be disabled.
The WiFi model (CM3-PANEL-W) is sold for 99 Euros, and I understand it’s a complete working system with a  Raspberry Pi 3 compute module. Hardware customizations are possible when ordering at least 100 units with pricing starting at 139 Euros. Documentation and purchase links can all be found in the product page.
