Pinebook Pro worst support ever
#4
Yeah, you're good to get out now. The pinebook pro has been a failure.

1. NVMe adapter does not work with most drives due to power limitations https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...SSD_drives
2. NVMe adapter was shipped untested, does not fit, company lies saying the problems are solved for months before they supposedly fixed them in the latest revision https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...5#pid63725
3. Booting from NVMe is unstable, possibly due to buggy implementation of the PCIe driver? https://git.eno.space/pbp-uboot.git/commit/
4. Long transfers over wifi cause the laptop to crash  https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro#Issues
5. Pine64 shipped uart adapters that were 5v instead of 3.3v, overvolting the uart interface and crashing the laptop https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...2#pid54272

And thats all assuming you don't get a damaged device in the mail. #2 was my personal experience from customer support and it was terrible. Its a real shame because I love the idea of this laptop, but everything is so terrible I have to recommend people not to purchase it.
