Apologies if this has already been posted - I did a search without finding anything relevant.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB running Manjaro ARM, so I have a good idea of the performance of that SBC. The Raspberry Pi Foundation have said it can replace your PC.. While it's amazing for the money, I don't know that I could use it as an everyday computer. It's close, but I think I'd find it a bit frustrating.
I'm hoping one of you has both an RPi4 and a Pinebook Pro and know how they perform relative to each other. I'm just trying to get a sense of if it would work well for my uses.
My use case is:

My use case is:
- Replace Asus C302 Chromebook Flip - Core m3-7Y30, 4 GB ram
- Might also replace Dell Latitude 7370 with Core M7-6Y75, 8 GB ram, alternating Linux Mint, Fedora, Manjaro..
- The C302 feels super fast and battery life is great - I'm creeped out by Google's privacy issues, but they know how to build an optimized OS. The 7370 performs ok but feels a bit borderline and battery life is disappointing. They both get Octane scores in the low 20,000s.
- Web browsing
- Documents, presentations, spreadsheets
- No games
- Ideally 8+ hours battery
- USB-C DisplayPort a must (which the Pinebook has!)
