A Pixelbook and a Pinebook or not comparable in price nor performance.
I'm not eligible for the Pre-Order or eMMC upgrade (I signed up for the forums way too late).
I am still interested in getting a Pinebook Pro and wanted to know when one of these scenarios is likely to occur:
- Pre-Orders are opened up to community members that joined more recently than the ones that can pre-order now.
- Pre-Orders are opened up to the public.
- The Pinebook Pro just goes on normal (non-pre-order) sale.
Are any of these possible dates defined anywhere yet?
Thanks for the info, and sorry if this has been asked somewhere else, I couldn't find it.
Make sure you check your SPAM folder as mentioned...
I registered for Coupon a few second after noon UTC and received the 'Welcome to the Pinebook Pro!' email in my inbox immediately. I then kept anxiously waiting for the email with the Coupon... It wasn't till a few minutes ago that I checked the forum again and saw that some people started receiving codes that I went to check my SPAM folder and sure enough I had received the coupon email ('Meet your New 14" Pinebook Pro!') about 12hours after the first email (midnight UTC). Order is now placed and will be patiently waiting.
Anyway, to summarize, even if you got the first email, check your SPAM folder as the second one with the actual code may end up there!
Oh, I didn't know, this laptop was just like 300 usd... Surprise of 50% of the price I counted on... Maybe there are other options for this price...?
I'm a desperate "just after july 1" member.
It would be bodacious if I could order the Pinebook Pro now; for the manufacturer's longer term planning and for my state of mind.
Or do I not exist without a coupon?
I've owned a Pinebook since 2017, but didn't create a user here until july 6, so I'm not eligible for the pinebook pro promotional....
How long until we the unwashed can order one? It's only exactly what I've been hoping for from you guys for the last two years. Seriously, Me want!
oh, and btw it'll be running debian, (of course!)
