It sounds like pine64 devices are miles ahead in terms of upstream kernel support, though. The remaining issue was with GPU support, but that's being taken care of with the Lima/Panfrost project, which now runs great.
- sylvain_kerkour 6y agoUnfortunately, their low specs make them really far from usable. I know that it may improve in the future, but as of today, 2GB of Ram for the PineTab...
- MayeulC 6y agoOf course, you are free to pick whatever you want from their store, but comparing a raspberrypi with a PineTab is a bit unfair, as these two products are quite different. Moreover, I disagree with your suggestion that 2GB is useless in a tablet. It really depends on the use-case, and I have rarely seen a capability range similar to the pineTab in a tablet from-factor. Have a look at the RockPro64, for instance: https://www.pine64.org/rockpro64/ https://www.pine64.org/rockpro64/ The 4GB version is about $80, but offers PCIe 4x, 128Mbit Flash, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C Host With Video Out, and an eDP Port, among others. It's true that the A64 family only goes up to 2GB, but the rock64 family goes to 4GB for $45. All offer valid tradeoffs to the Pi family :)
