Hello, I am wondering what should I buy: an Orange Pi PC for $15 or PINE A64+ for $29.
What I know up to now is that the Orange Pi PC is generally cheaper and can do almost all things the PINE can do. Also if I order it now it will come within 15 to 25 days, while the PINE A64+ will come near May. I want to use it for a desktop computer. Not for a main one, just to be able to have 2-3 tabs open and some basic stuff.
The problem is I don't have experience with something more powerful than a Raspberry Pi Zero, which sadly cannot hold more than 1 tab open, but is brilliant for projects. That is why I am asking people who have experience with both SoC, or have more knowledge than me about them to advice me what should I buy. There remains a possibility for me to buy first an Orange Pi PC and later PINE A64+.
Some bug is present in the current backerkit survey. As topic title says, t-shirt has some ridiculous shipping cost - $999. I hope we can edit survey later when it is fixed
Hi everybody,
just a quick question - does the Wifi/BT module contain an antenna? The Pine64 shown in the youtube videos has some kind of an antenna/wire.... Just wondering whether I should buy an external antenna with U.FL connector or it comes with the module... there is no info about it on the survey page...
BR,
Peter
I received the survey, and of course added several items.
I originally pledged $36 to receive the 64+ with 2GB, and I believe they were to ship yet in Feb. I just did my survey and of course added some items. I thought I was careful not to add anything that would delay shipment, but upon completion I see the survey confirmation I received says estimated lockdown date of 04/15/16. After that my card will be charged and items will be shipped..... Did I add something that bumped my ship date? I went back into it and none of the items I added said anything about delayed shipping.
Here's what I added: 64GB MicroSD Card - 64GBAND
Qty: 1 x $18.24
USB Keyboard HUB.
Qty: 1 x $10.99
HDMI to VGA Adapter With Audio
Qty: 1 x $6.24
Wifi 802.11BGN/ Bluetooth 4.0 Module
Qty: 1 x $9.99
PINE64 5V 2A Power Supply - USA
Qty: 1 x $6.24
RTC Backup Battery - AAA Qty: 1 x $4.24
I'm sorry to bother, but I'm excited and don't want to wait for April to receive my board. I'd rather remove something from my cart. Am I understanding this correctly?
BTW, after I went back into my selection to double check for anything that indicated delayed shipping I simply closed the web browser tab without re-confirming. I didn't undo my submission did I?
Not sure if this has been answered anywhere, but is the acrylic case with the 4 pegs/supports the one that is included with the 4K Media package? This is what is says for my pledge:
Items included in your pledge
$59 Reward
The PINE A64+ 4K Media Computer You will get the PINE A64+ 1GB unit along with 8GB MicroSD Pre-Loaded with Android 5.1. IR receiver and remote control, PINE64 Power Supply, and the PINE64 Enclosure. You can upgrade to a 2GB model later for $10. (Light Assembly Required) (No wifi/bluetooth - we will offer a list of compatible wifi/bluetooth modules you can use to connect later).
As you can see, it doesn't specify which case is included.
on PINE website and kick-stater show that PINE A64+ 1GB have Gigabit Ethernet.
However, on Backerkit survey it show that PINE A64+ 1GB only have 10/100 Ethernet.
Please verify and confirm if PINE A64+ 1GB have Gigabit Ethernet or not

I had pledged the campaign ($29) plus 7 dollars shipping fee. I got a survey email and go to the website.. I saw there is option (PINE64 Boards) which we can add Pine64 board. My question is whether I need to choose/add the board, or not since I have a pledge (2gb board) already... Again I just only need one board for now....
Is the survey only for add-on module only? So we do not need to add the board! The board will be come with the addition modules which I add...
