PINE64

And here is the aformentioned build running on the Pinebook Pro :

Looks good

How does the keyboard feel?

Do you know if there will be a model with a Chromebook style keyboard? With just a big CTRL and ALT keys on the left? 

Cheers

Can't wait to read a review of the finished product by a third party.

Anyone tried installing/running stock Debian Buster on it yet? ( I'm going to get a rockpro64 and test it myself as soon as i get next salary...)

Possibly more information about NVMe as main boot device and maybe some performance testing would be very interesting and useful.

About NVMe as a boot device -we'd need a user-friendly and safe way to flash uboot to SPI. Ayufan already has a solution on the Rock64 but not for the Pro. It will happen at some point in the future - that I am sure. 

Regarding performance, what exactly are you after?

Still it would already be possible to use the eMMC as boot partition and have rootfs on the NVMe i guess, am i correct?

I'm looking to use the pinebook pro as a replacement for everyday work, especially when travelling, so anything comparable to current performances on a x86 based laptop would be good for me.

Not sure if it has been discussed before ( if so i apologize ) why uboot instead of UEFI?

Yea, sure, you could have rootfs on the NVMe (if you care to look though the RPro64 subforum, I am pretty sure someone has already done it). Obviously uboot on SPI would be more ideal.  As for UEFI - you'd have to ask an actual dev (IRC/ Discord buttons at the top of the forum)

Thx for the video,looks great! So any idea how long till ordering is opened?

No clue. A few months.
