- gorgoiler 6y agoThe price, and I’m also interested in portability and robustness. My plan is to hot desk with this thing between three locations: my office in school, my classroom, and my home office. I also want something weird. Kids kind of look down on PCs and especially Linux. It’s seen as kind of crappy compared to the shiny of iPhones and Windows gaming rigs. I hope to show them that there’s a third kind of computer with which one can do a lot, that also happens to be pocketable and under $100. (And also: ANSI keyboard Pinebook Pro has been sold out for weeks.)
