The SoC is really slow, do you mostly use it as a terminal to your servers? What's your rational behind getting it? The price and it being "open"? I was running one of those 7" OneMix laptops for a while. They have 16GB ram and a 512 SSD. Apparently they have switched to 10" form factor now[1].

The SoC is not that slow if you only use Firefox to read Hacker News and Stackoverflow, and the rest of the work happens in the terminal. I am more bothered by unreliable suspend to ram. It kind of works, but then it does not for me.

  On my PbPro this is caused by the lid sensor magnet being badly positioned. When I close the lid expecting that to trigger suspend, it will suspend too early as the lid closes, then un-suspend once it fully closes. Suspending manually first (via keystroke, for example) and then closing the lid solves that. I've read you can fix the sensor's position if you're willing to open the LCD-half of the laptop. The other issue I have is if you plug or unplug the power (via USB-C, at least, I haven't tested using the barrel plug) it causes the PbPro to resume even if the lid is closed, so I always make sure to plug it in first and avoid taking it out while it's suspended.

    Barrel plug will do it too. It's an odd behavior, for sure. I don't think I even realized it had a suspend sensor in the lid. I suspend mine via the power menu, wait for the green LED to go off, then close it. If you've got the proper suspend (deep sleep) stack working, it's very much a power sipper when asleep as well - I've had it asleep for a week (when I thought it was off), and still had plenty of battery when I woke it up.

The PBP CPUs aren't fast, but they're certainly "enough" for daily driver use if you're not insanely demanding. I use one as one of my daily drivers, and it handles web (Firefox and Chrome), Element, Marktext for editing blog posts, and various other things perfectly fine. It's not fast by any means, but it's entirely adequate. Photo editing takes a couple ticks to process, and I wouldn't try video editing on it, but neither do I do video editing, so... Battery life is excellent (8-12 hours depending on what you're doing), the 2021 trackpad firmware solves the fact that the trackpad was beyond vile, and other than wifi glitching every couple weeks and needing a reboot, I've really got no complaints with it. Plus, it's $200, and very light. If you're the sort of person who "needs" 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD with a 6C/12C workstation processor in a laptop, it's not at all useful, but it's quite a bit more capable than most people realize, and that I have no fan noise, and it doesn't roast my legs in normal use, is really quite nice.
