IME, pine doesn't make good hardware. It's pretty terrible quality (cheap flimsy plastic, dead pixels, etc) and then they expect the "community" to work around the short comings/lack of vision and make it into a real, usable product.
I've been burned by the allure of Pine's hacker vibe. It's bullshit, IMO.
- talldayo 2y agoI guess it depends on what you want. I own a Pine Quartz64 board and Pinecil, both of which are perfectly fine in quality and functionality. Maybe their white-label tablets and laptops are bad but I don't know what people expected. For stuff where support matters, they do pretty alright.
