I think this guy is having issues because he is using Slack, which is known to kill any machine it is launched on (even high-end developer machines) on a lower end, ultra-cheap ARM laptop. The Pinebook Pro itself is probably reasonable (given its price), once you disregard the use of monstrously bloated things, like Slack. That said, the PineTab has half the ram and a measurably slower CPU[1] (See A64 vs RK3399). It’s basically like a PinePhone with a big screen. So don’t get your expectations too high :) [1] https://gist.github.com/ayufan/ce5dc9e501e1b720c2afc31c3ed51f9d https://gist.github.com/ayufan/ce5dc9e501e1b720c2afc31c3ed51...
