Just received my Rock64. I already have PIs, Wandboard Quads, Odroid-XU4, etc. Loaded Stretch minimalon an SD, booted up and it booted right; everything worked.
I'll grant that I won't be using the multimedia features, but what I wanted was USB3, GB ethernet, quad core at a decent clock speed, and adequate RAM (4GB). Not only that, this board is silent unlike the Odroid-XU4 which drives me a little crazy with the fan.
Currently, the Odroid functions as a NAS. This board will replace it. Very happy after spending a few hours doing Linuxy/Debiany type things with it.
I just wish there was a US distributor so it didn't take so long to get them.
