Pinebook Pro?

It will still be a while. relax.

Cant wait

You'll be able to take a look at the Pinebook Pro (and Pinephone) dev kits this Sunday.

ISP issues. I did manage to upload this (admittedly very dark) demo earlier the same day:

Luke, have you tried Geekbench?

Luke, have you tried Geekbench?

No. I am stress-testing the unit now however - mostly focusing on thermals (as we all know the performance). Is there Geekbench for Linux ARM?

There is not. We may just use Android version

[PakoSt]

The Phoronix test suite would be an interesting candidate.

Thanks for the update video.
Nice looking laptop. Like the ISO keyboard.

Does the USB-C port support thunderbolt 3 docks similar to the Dell WD-15?

How possible is it to throw in a really thin fan with a really basic heat spreader?

Not very. There is no need for a heat-spreader, since the bottom of the case makes contact the SOC and acts as a big heatsink/spreader already.

I've been torture testing the device and playing with thermals over the past few hours. While you can get the unit to spike 80*C under unrealistic load in under a minute, it doesn't down-clock massively (1.4-1.6ghz on big cores) when totally grilled.

I have played some games, watched 4K movies and done other demanding but real-life things and never hit the thermals. Playing Tekken 6 (PSP) was probably the most intense real-life benchmark, and that had the SOC hovering at 76*C, which is just under the thermal threshold for maintaining full frequency.  

That said, I'll do a little bit of modding for fun in the coming days and see if there is something simple to be done to improve thermal performance further - not that I think its necessary.
