Hi

I’m thinking about getting one and was looking at YouTube videos but none really showed it in use.

Like how keyboard works and all that.

Does anyone here have experience?

Thanks

    Yes, it looks very close to what I want and I really like the price, but a sub-2Ghz CPU doesn’t seem like a good investment. Maybe a future PineTab3 will be more reasonable for me. I’m not even sure if it runs Debian/Gnome properly with everything working, software support seems shady at best. Oh and I need a Portuguese keyboard and they don’t sell keyboards for languages other than English.

      Makes sense, it is indeed intended to be a low powered tablet. Pine64’s whole thing is that they make the hardware and the community figures out the software: for example, 3 months post release there still aren’t wifi/bluetooth drivers. I love mine but I can definitely see why it’s not for everyone, plus I use an English keyboard so I don’t have that restriction.

        Well if they at least made other keyboard I would might “bite the bullet” when it comes to software. But c’mon… a tablet released without working wifi?
