I'm still using my #PinebookPro . It's not that fast but enough for many tasks.

@danct12 I can tell by the keyboard that it had heavy use. How's the performance anyway?

[danct12@social.treehouse.systems]

@RTheren not so great, but for remote access and average web browsing, it's fine.

[rtheren@social.linux.pizza]

@danct12 So not too dissimilar to Pi 500 and such. Noted.

@RTheren @danct12 same experience here: good for SSH, text editor (Kate), and e-mail (thunderbird); bad for modern web which insist on downloading half of github's worth of javascript frameworks which taxes the tiny 4G of RAM

Me too. I bought it in spring of 2020 and used it as my main work computer for 4 years during covid. I still use it pretty frequently, and though it's no speed demon, it continues to be usable and reliable. For a measly $200.

@danct12 I wish mine still powered up!

@RTheren I would compare it more to Pi 400 than 500. It may be better GPU or not so constrained system (my experience comes from Pi 4 and Pi 5) but lots of programs important to me are unusable on PBP but more or less fine on Pi 5 (like KiCAD, FreeCAD, KdenLive and so on).
