The small production run coupled with the price suggests that it's basically an evaluation board in a laptop form factor. As-is, it's probably mostly of use for people that want to hack on RISC-V (operating systems, ports, application development...) with a hardware target that can also act as a standalone host computer for said hacking on the go.
- rjsw 4y agoThe Pinebook Pro is basically an evaluation board in a laptop form factor.
- smoldesu 4y agoThe Pinebook Pro uses off-the-shelf A53 cores that have existed for over a decade.

- rjsw 4y agoIt also has two A72 cores. My point was that you can get a board built into a nice laptop in Shenzhen for a lot less than the cost of the one in the linked article.
