Prepare to buy Pinebook Pro with nvme adapter - sujunmin - 06-23-2020
Hi all,
I am the user of Pinebook (the first generation, 14'', with upgraded emmc to 64g), it is good for light usage and it had been my k3s cluster with my rpi4
The Pinebook is not good enough to light-median usage, like run chrome/firefox to bworse web, use telegram to send/receive messages.
Once I found out the new Pinebook Pro and it can be upgraded by nvme adapter, and read the forum's post can boot from nvme by flash u-boot images, and I think it will be more powerful than older Pinebook.
But I still want to ask some questions for my usage and is it fits to me (although the ansi keyboard version is out of stock now), thanks.
1. use wine to launch NAVER LINE app
2. use Telegram
3. use chrome/edge
4. use visual studio code
5. use anydesk, vnc, rdp client
6. use microsoft teams

First, WINE is not an emulator. It requires an x86 CPU which Pinebook Pro doesn't have.
That said, I run Chromium on my PBP and it seems to hold up fine. I don't know where to get packages to run full Chrome on ARM Linux however.
