The newly announced 3588S might be an even better choice: https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/01/12/rockchip-rk3588s-cost-optimized-cortex-a76-a55-processor/

I would definitely buy an upgrade with rk3588*.

I would also consider getting a second-hand computer that isn't too old and wiping Windows with Linux.

Very satisfying! Smile

I use a 2015 HP Elitebook, decent business-class notebook, with fedora. Everything except the fingerprint reader seems good and it has been solid for a few years. I have a faster laptop for gaming but this thing has lots of RAM (24GB) and SSDs and it is about as fast as I can expect a computer to be most of the time. I think one of these, or a similar era decent Thinkpad, can be bought for 150 bucks used or 2-3 refurbished properly. I may get several more years out of this thing before I pick up another one, and between that and one of each thing PINE64 makes (and a couple of other assorted linux devices not counting the servers I run at work), i have all the linux I want, sometimes more than I really want. heh.

Agreed. It's plenty quick, I have 24GB of RAM which means I have to run for a long time with a lot of tabs open to run out (it happens eventually, Nothing I run on it eats anywhere near the RAM chrome does, especially if I'm also running Tor and Brave at the same time), it's light, well built, battery lasts a long time after years of use. Really no downside, other than the new price is more than I would probably have paid.

Is there any development on pinebook pro with rk3588 soc?

They focus on the SBC QuartzPro64 first.

I think they said they have no timeline yet for the upgrade of the Pinebook Pro.

 Thanks. Is it possible to contribute or develop it separately? I'm really engagedSmile)

QuartzPro64 is available to developers. https://www.pine64.org/2022/03/15/march-update-introducing-the-quartzpro64/

System on Module boards could be the basis for an upgradeable laptop, or DIY laptop.
