Pinebook Pro Initial Impressions

[User 6582]

I have not noticed any major defects other than a misaligned board. I will fix that when i install the nvme drive. Slight offset makes it tricky to put in usb drives, need to be angled, in order to slide in. Same on both sides.

While I haven't experienced that misalignment, I DID have an issue with the micro-SD card port. Sometimes the card is read OK and sometimes I get errors. Turn off the PBP and uninstall/reinstall the micro-SD card and it works fine.

Anyone else noticed this? :-)

Yes, but not exactly what you describe. I've noticed it sometime doesnt detect the SD card at all. Unplug replug and its fine again.

I'm not seeing this issue when i run the os from the sd card. I have never had a fail to boot from the sd card so far. Possibly only happens in stock debian?


Ps: here is the misaligned usb port. Pardon the glare. 4 years old abused phone...

Thanks for info! I'll have to take a closer looks to see if the port is misaligned on my PBP.

More soon!! :-)
