Would be better…
…to have recommended configurations from Dell HP and so on.
Then we could buy one.
After a very long delay, Pine64 has once again started shipping its open source devices to hardware and OS hackers. Shenzen is just starting to emerge from its latest lockdown, and perhaps the most hotly anticipated device that the company offers is available to order online… but don't all hammer the order button at once. …

So they are going to report me to the authorities for making a politically incorrect statement.
Go to hell PINE64, this is a lifetime boycott from me...
Every time I have almost "pulled the trigger" and ordered a Pine product, some quirk of fate---a posting in a forum, for example, complaining of a 'wart' in a product---has mercifully appeared just in time. The PinePhone and Pinebook Pro are 'victims' which came within a hair's breadth of being ordered.
Two years ago, or more, I posted a question on a Pine "official platform" asking about a problem I had seen while perusing the Pinebook Pro forums. It (the question) went something like this:
"Has the Pinebook Pro's problem of not being able to "Resume from Suspend" been fixed?"
The question was taken down in a matter of hours. I have not been able to post any comment to Pine's "official platform" since, no matter how effusive and compimentary.
I suppose I was banned, but Pine never had the decency nor common courtesy to tell me that I had been---and certainly not why.
I keep reading the "Forums" though, and am amazed at the number of comments regarding dis-functional products (what do you expect, when Pine depends on "The Community" to write--and keep updated--the software to make their product actually work); and dis-functional organization (ordering, returns, "where's my product after all these months?") appear there, and get no answer.
Life's too short.
Oh, and I almost forgot...
After all these years, has "Resume from Suspend" ever been fixed on the Pinebook Pro, Pine Micro?
> After all these years, has "Resume from Suspend" ever been fixed on the Pinebook Pro, Pine Micro?
Well, from reading some of the comments above, I infer that Pine Micro has worked around that issue, by making the Pinebook Pro permanently woke.
I have quite a collection of pine64 products. I use the PineTime watch every day, and it is great for my needs. I use a PinePhone Pro occasionally, but it is more for tinkering than every day use (for me) at this stage. If/when the camera gets support, I'll be even more interested.
I had a PineBook Pro, but, even knowing its limitations before I bought it, I found it too slow for my needs. I passed it on to someone whose own PBP had suffered a mishap. I love the idea of it, and I want to support pine64's efforts, but I can't see me buying another one at the moment.
