Pinebook Pro?

[soupbowl]

Do you think that PB Pro would be slow for MacOS? I think it could compete with older Macbook Air

Might be naive of me, but I feel that macOS still relies heavily on GPU acceleration, which the Pinebook would struggle with

So maybe Pinebook Pro 2

In all seriousness I've found as time goes on their macOS launches support more and more drivers as it goes on, making Hackintosh super easy*. Unless they start from square one again and start building up drivers upon their own launches, it could be a possibility.

Hm… an ARM-based Hackintosh sounds like an interesting proposition. In the meantime, while we wait for the PineBook Pro, I had to replace my ageing home laptop (Dell Vostro 3500, about 10 years old) with a slightly less aged ex-company laptop (Dell Latitude 7450, less than 5 years old), which was quite a bargain at €225 plus the old laptop. I might make a Hackintosh out of that one…

But I still want a PineBook Pro when it's out!

E7450? Looks like you can mate! https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/851...uefi-only/

It still relies on the macOS ARM move being true, which is currently unconfirmed.

I read first posts and Moderator was talking about March.
Thanks for the 128GB update BTW!
Is there an ETA?

Is there a mailing list that we can preorder from? I'm willing to put down some cash now. I was an early pine64 backer and still use it.

My understanding is that there isn't a list where you can pre-order.  I asked if there a notification list that will let me know
when the BTO is open, and was advised to subscribe to their newsletter:

Same hardware and resolution as the Pinebook Pro (the RockPro64). Figured that some of you may be interested in what sort of performance / features you can expect from the Pinebook Pro...

Also, recorded late at night as a quick demo, so sorry for the crap quality.

Looking pretty sweet! You need one of those passthrough HDMI recorders =)

I will order the Pinebook Pro asap! Will the NVME drive be a bootable drive out of the box?
