What will you be using your PINE64 for?

[carlosviansi]

I went with the $89 tier with the hopes I can use it as an alternative to buying a Microsoft Surface for just writing/reading articles and light programming if all else fails (I hope it is more lightweight than carrying my macbook around on 1h walks). Part of my research deals a lot with weather sensors for forecasting, so I am curious if perhaps together with an arduino I could do something beyond just crunching data available on the web. I have an interest on the robot aspect of it too seeing one of the PhD students I loop up to has done some stuff on that department. 

This course has just recently pop-up on Coursera (you can actually watch all for free): https://www.coursera.org/specializations/iot so I am hoping I can use the Pine64 with the material of the Rhasberry PI to try things out.
