Anyone else disappointed?

On top of that, the Pine 64 is more than double the size of the Raspberry Pi with a board that is too thin, causing warping. It looks and feels "cheap". The board could have been laid out better with additional layers and, thus, thickness with components on both sides, reducing board size. The main selling point to me is that Raspberry Pi doesn't (yet) run Android. Other than that, they are not dissimilar enough to choose the pine 64 over the Pi.

If I had known about the Pi 3 when I found out about the Pine 64, I wouldn't have backed the pine 64.

Anyone else feel disappointed?

The Rpi3 is not quite the same characteristics that Pine64. Firstly two times less RAM. Secondly denser layout reduces the size of the Board but, a closer location of the components on the Board also increases their mutual influence on each other (including heat). For example installation of a radiator of system of cooling is more problematic in the case Rpi3 in mind the need to use a smaller square radiator (and thus reduce its effectiveness). In the third Ethernet port. Fourth at Rpi3 while-there is no beta version of the OS with at least partial support for the processor architecture. Fourthly the price. Yes Pine64 also has its drawbacks, but objectively advantage in comparison with Rpi3 more.
