hey any pinebook pro users want to give some feedback? I'm worried the 4gb of RAM is gonna be quite limited (and it's not upgradable, right?), and CPU and battery specs seem kinda underwhelming too.
I would love to use it on the go and get a beefier system for at home, but as a webdev who uses vscode and usually sits at around 9G of RAM

it'll probably be better to just downclock my t460s to the minimum, maybe get a usb bluetooth thingie if it's more efficient

@f0x I've been using mine for a couple days. There are still a few hardware issues they need to work out. When the battery goes below 60%, your system will lock up if you have an NVME drive installed. Someone is working on designing a PCB to fix that.
There are also some rollover issues with the keyboard, you can't press control shift tab and some other combinations. There is also some buzzing from some components on the board if your brightness is below around 70%.
Mainline kernel support is getting better. Manjaro has the best hardware support right now, the GPU performance is a lot better than the stock OS, although suspend doesn't work. Swaywm is working pretty well on it.
