Unless they start from square one again and start building up drivers upon their own launches, it could be a possibility. Hm… an ARM-based Hackintosh sounds like an interesting proposition. In the meantime, while we wait for the PineBook Pro, I had to replace my ageing home laptop (Dell Vostro 3500, about 10 years old) with a slightly less aged ex-company laptop (Dell Latitude 7450, less than 5 years old), which was quite a bargain at €225 plus the old laptop. I might make a Hackintosh out of that one… But I still want a PineBook Pro when it's out!

It still relies on the macOS ARM move being true, which is currently unconfirmed. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

I read first posts and Moderator was talking about March.
Thanks for the 128GB update BTW! Is there an ETA?

Is there a mailing list that we can preorder from? I'm willing to put down some cash now. I was an early pine64 backer and still use it.

My understanding is that there isn't a list where you can pre-order. I asked if there a notification list that will let me know when the BTO is open, and was advised to subscribe to their newsletter: https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=638 
Same hardware and resolution as the Pinebook Pro (the RockPro64). Figured that some of you may be interested in what sort of performance / features you can expect from the Pinebook Pro...
Also, recorded late at night as a quick demo, so sorry for the crap quality.

I will order the Pinebook Pro asap! Will the NVME drive be a bootable drive out of the box?
