my thoughts are that this pine64 2GB plus is a viable short term 'replacement' for a desktop that is currently not working. or, to use as a desktop while the main one is busy with something. there is just not enough memory or cpu/gpu power to make the pine64 a good daily desktop unless the user can deal with the overall slowness which i just do not want to. i want a more overall responsive unit. now, i realize there are those who can live with the pine64 as is and that is great but i've reached a point in life where i want the most responsive desktop i can afford to use most of the time. i have found that at a price point of 1,000US there are several really nice desktops out there in amazon land. thing is these pine64's are great units, my second one is on the way along with 4 padi units. there is a lot of stuff i hope to get done with them. just not an everyday goto desktop.
