If the latter, then wait. But if you already have a laptop that you're happy with and have no intention of changing it no-matter-what (and you just want something to toy with) then go ahead and get the 11" Pinebook.
Let me just get it out there again; the 11.6" Pinebook is not a full laptop replacement. In layman terms, the regular Pinebook is ~10x less powerful than the Pro variant.
[edit] to those asking about an upgrade path ... this has already been discussed on the forum, but I'll answer again: there will be an upgrade path eventually, but we've got keyboard firmware and thermals to sort out, and we're focusing on the Pinebook Pro first before figuring out how the upgrade will work.
Hey mate,
Sorry for the late reply.
I want it for a bit of both. arm laptop that is daily driver and something to tinker with.
I want something I can fool around with on the couch... use it for a bit of ssh into my Mac and also managing homesssistant and my nas.
