Would like to know what are the benchmarks for the PineBook Pro. I already have a notebook with Intel 6700HQ and Nvidia GeForce GTX1080, 16GB RAM and 1080p@120Hz screen. Hard drives are SSD SATA2 and PCIe.

The PineBook Pro would be mainly for portable use, however I’m wondering how much will be the difference. It will not be intended for gaming, but for multimedia, development and web.

Hello, I just received my Pinebook Pro last night. I ran the initial setup and connected to wifi just fine. Then I updated and rebooted and I haven't been able to connect to wifi since. It seems to stall out at "Setting network address". I have tried deleting the configuration and starting over from scratch, manually entering in the MAC address that was stored in the router in case there was a mismatch somewhere, specifically changing the BSSID to both 2.4 and 5 GHz connections, and restarting the NetworkManager service as well as many reboots sprinkled in throughout and nothing seems to change. This is on the stock Manjaro out of the box, I haven't changed anything other than update.

Any help is appreciated.

If I buy the PineBook Pro, would like to be able to charge it over USB-C, so I can use the same charger I use to charge my smartphone. So what are the charging specs? Is it compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 5V/9V/12V? Is compatible with USB Power Delivery? In case I don’t have direct access to wall charger, would like to be able to use power banks, the same I use for android and iPad without having to charge with a barrel connector.

and why?

I ask because as I was researching a new cellphone the otherday I was running into phones with up to 5 ca,eras, one of which was a 64MP sensor

Now i realize that a direct comparison to film cameras and glass elements is tough, but how does on of the most widely known SBCs get front page news because of a 12MP sensor available?

I know theres a LOT i dont know (for example I was really taken aback at why "cell phones" could sell so cheap with windows, as well as 7" tablets, but the CD still runs $150+

so anyone with knowledge id love to hear it

I just got my Pinebook Pro.

Plugged it in - the red light next to the charger went on for a while, then off.

Tried to press the power button - short press - nothing. Long press, nothing.

Am I missing something silly or is it DOA?

Help!!
Thanks

A few days ago Linux kernel 5.7 was released. If I understand correctly, it should now be possible to install a vanilla ARM-based Linux distro with kernel 5.7, and have (almost) everything working. However, patches are still needed for:

• external display
  
• hardware video codec
  
• proper audio (mixers for all devices, as well as separation of speakers and headphones)
  
• suspend/resume (custom U-boot version)
  

So I recently bought a cheap SBC to play around with and want to run it headless but with the full desktop image on it. I'm having a hard time finding a vnc viewer for the PineBookPro. I found a package labled gtk-vnc in synaptic, but after installing and trying to get it to work I finally gave up. What do you guys use when wanting to vnc into another device? When I search online for vnc viewers I can find them for everything else including raspberry pi, but not for our pb64's. Thank you.

I would like to install Android (at least 7.1.2, not Android-TV) on ROCK64.

What would be the minimum RAM size and SD card size requirements for doing this?
Can I get by with 1GB RAM version of ROCK64 and 8GB SD card?

The setup can and need be quite minimalist, as I will only need to run a handful of very simple apps. Google Play Store is not required for my use case.

For reference - When I ran these apps on an Android 5.1.1 emulator set to 1GB RAM, I had over 325 MB of free RAM; and only 26% of 8 GB storage was used.
            - Similarly, these same apps ran fine on an Android 7.1.1 and Android 10 Virtual Devices in Android Studio, both set to 1 GB RAM, 8 GB storage.

I received my PBP today. After unpacking it I plugged in to power and left it alone to fully charge before first boot. It took 4-5 hr? For red led to turnoff. Next I powered the machine on and finished initial manjaro setup. After I got to logon screen I noticed that my trackpad is to totally not responsive. I can’t move cursor not any clicks do not produce anything. I did try toggle Fn-F7 but that did not do anything.
I did try to soft and hard reboot and no change.

Any one having this issue? Anyway to resolve this? Or should I consider it defective unit?

Cheers
