Hi everyone,
I’m looking to invest in a Pine64 device but need some guidance on which one would best suit my needs. I’ve been exploring the PinePhone, PineTab, and some of the SBCs like the RockPro64, but I’m unsure which one would be the best fit.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
I’m particularly interested in hearing from users who have experience with these devices. How is the day-to-day performance? Are there any major limitations I should be aware of? If you’ve used both the PinePhone/PineTab and a Pine SBC, how do they compare in terms of usability?
I appreciate any insights, recommendations, or even warnings before making my purchase. Thanks in advance!
Regards
Ingrid

Here’s what I’m looking for:
- Primary Use: I need a device mainly for lightweight development (Linux scripting, Python, and some web-based tools).
- Portability: A mobile or tablet form factor would be ideal, but I’m open to SBCs if they offer better performance for my use case.
- Customization: I’d love a device with solid community support and the ability to install various OS options (Ubuntu, Manjaro, python online certification etc.).
- Performance Needs: Nothing too demanding, but I want a smooth experience when using a Linux desktop environment or running basic development tools.
I’m particularly interested in hearing from users who have experience with these devices. How is the day-to-day performance? Are there any major limitations I should be aware of? If you’ve used both the PinePhone/PineTab and a Pine SBC, how do they compare in terms of usability?
