From Devi Garcia · Jan 30, 2019
The Pinebook is a marvelous little Linux laptop, but at $99 it’s not exactly built to be your daily driver. It was created for tinkering and learning. That’s something Pine64 even admits. But the Pinebook has its ardent fans, and those fans have repeatedly requested a model that brings more RAM, more storage and better daily usability to the table. Today that request is being answered with the Pinebook Pro, a laptop boasting some admirable specs for its proposed $199 asking price.
