I am a first year computer science student, and I'm really thinking about getting a Pinebook Pro to bring with myself to classes. I would use it for web browsing, viewing pdf and office files, note taking, writing code and compiling in multiple languages (c#, c, java, etc.).

Do you think this device would be a good choice for something like this?


(I already have a computer, but I can't take it with me to classes)

C, likely. the compiles might be slower than you're used to.
Java, Probably. OracleJDK only supports up to version 8 on ARM, not 11 or 13. Otherwise OpenJDK could work. It covers a lot of the Java API.
C#, maybe. If you can get away with just the parts of the API that Mono supports, it might work. That's a subset of the entire .net api though, so you might encounter some stuff that doesn't work.

I don't see any problem with running Libreoffice, pdf readers, or doing light web browsing on it.
