Advice on Choosing the Best Pine64 Device for My Use Case?

[stefan_hdb]

I agree with Surehand's comment. The pinetab has limited performance and some shortfalls in Wifi, BT and Camera. But for your usecase it might work. I use it with the barebone image + Phosh or Lxqt (depends if you want to use the keyboard), but UBports UT , Rhino, postmarketOS, Mobian and Manjaro work, too (the 3 latter, however, require a Dongle for Wifi). I am a bit tired of playing around with it and offered the used device on ebay.

Kind regards, Stefan
