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
<https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4414>. 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.

- 14″ 1080p IPS LCD panel
- 64GB of eMMC storage (registered forum members get 128GB)
- 10000mAh battery
- Black magnesium alloy body
- SD card slot
- Digital video output via USB-C
