- shp0ngle 5y agolooking at the specs, that’s very underpowered for any long term use.
- rmbyrro 5y agoYeah, almost to the point you'd be better off using a top-level smartphone lol
- gnramires 5y agoIt depends on your standards -- it's comparable to a Raspberry Pi 3B+/Pi 400. Note that even the Pi is not OSHW. With (considerable) of effort you could order the PCBs and the components and make one yourself. You'd need to reverse engineer the rasp. It's difficult to convey how amazing that is.
- jan_Inkepa 5y agoThat's quite enticing. Hmm. Thanks for mentioning it! I kinda want a cheap/cheerful laptop; maybe this will be it... .
- ac29 5y agoPineBook Pro should be significantly faster, and is a little cheaper.
- jan_Inkepa 5y agoUnfortunately not available for purchase anywhere right now. But yeah, were it available I'd probably nabbed one. So, thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep an eye out in the future.
- gnramires 5y agoYou're welcome, and If you're who I think you are, thank YOU!
