The Pinebook Pro Preorder System!

[phoenix]

Ah man, i just realized that i should've signed up earlier to be able to get this, it's ok i'll wait until GP version becomes available :-). I'm really excited about this though, I really want to play around with this machine.

Sorry, you do not qualify for pre-order priority and eMMC upgrade.

Sorry I have a issue to insert screenshot in the reply, anyway I register almost on dead line .. so probably forum time zone conflict

That is exactly what happened. Our system assumes July 1st in UTC time. We're discussing if we should make exceptions or not.

Unfortunately, I registered July 6 so I am not eligible for the pre-order/128GB.  I was wondering if it would be possible to pre-order the 64GB model for folks that didn't register before July 1?

Looking forward to getting OpenBSD running on the Pinebook Pro.

Thanks.

Preorders right now are only open to the pre-July forum users. General public orders start in a couple months.

Well that's odd.

Step 4) Wait for a member of the Sales Team to email you your Coupon Code.

Any advice on how long is the Wait time to get the coupon and code? So I can keep checking my email. As I received coupon codes for PB but it all went to spam and i could never get to order it and I dont want the same to happen.  Therefore the question

You need to reenter the queue. You cheated the system and entered preorders before they were open. Your entry was lost as part of a wipe to keep things fair.

The link was available prematurely through the shop from the Pinebook Pro item when it was in the shopping cart.
Unfortunate oversight by someone administering the site? Sure.
Calling people who noticed this "cheaters"? I think that's a bit of a stretch.
If one sees a link, one is gonna try it. Isn't that the nature of people willing to "experiment" with new ARM laptops? 
(note: I am not challenging the wipe when the countdown was reached, that seems reasonably fair)

It was certainly an oversight, and one that we're already working on preventing happening again.

I shouldn't have said cheater -- sorry. People who saw it on the store came across it fair. There are others where that's not the case...

Its not cheating when the link was open and it worked, also I checked this page regularly and you failed to update it on time
The link was uploaded on this thread very late. I tried again once the actual link was uploaded on the pine64 website but not the thread.

I will try now if I get it then fine else leave it, I didnt hack anything to get that link. It was quite open link to find on the store cart. I dont think thats cheating

I tried again and now It is accepted again. I have waited for Pinebook since last year.

I was sitting here refreshing the page. The link changed at exactly 12:00PM UTC. Isn't that when they told us it would?

That was my experience as well.  I sat down at my computer 2 minutes before and at 12:00 PM it was there as promised.  I guess some of us can handle time zones better than others

I spammed the refresh key, and got the link at 12 UTC like promised. I was happy bout that. Just waiting on the coupon. Can't wait!

Hopefully that means we're first in line.

How do we specify ANSI keyboard? We can only pick the power supply (US or EU).

Thanks!

Only ISO keyboards are available in the first batch. I believe that was stated in the original post.

EDIT: I take that back. It wasn't in the thread. Maybe it was in the blog post?
