I daily drive a Pinebook Pro AMA. Applications: * Firefox (Element, Slack are thickest websites I use commonly apart from video streaming) * Supertuxkart * thin client to my VPS * Ardour for recording music (using a USB audio interface, only tried recording one channel at a time so far so good) * managing personal files, KeepassXC, backups, et al I have it docked to a monitor and keyboard, but I have taken it with me on the road before. The keyboard is decent and screen is nice but small.

Can it charge from low-current USB (e.g. 5V1A), or at least a USB battery bank? I've been trying to find a laptop that supports this so that if the power goes out I can keep coding (or reading survival manuals heh) for a few days, but no x86 laptop can do this. How quickly does the battery discharge while sleeping?

  It really wants 5V3A. I believe it will take less than that, but if you are using it at the same time it might still drain the battery. It uses 1.7W while in s2idle in my (rough) testing. I power off every night.

What made you choose this in particular?

  Bought from the initial batch of PBPs, it sat unused for a while apart from a couple short trips. I wanted something more portable than my aging T430 at the time. Eventually I realized I did not need the T430 at all (shortly after getting video output through that cursed typec port) and consolidated my data into the PBP and an externally enclosed SSD.
