6 years with the Pinebook Pro

I bought a Pinebook Pro in 2020 to be the laptop I use at home—the one that lives on the coffee table and gets picked up to read something, ssh somewhere, or write a few lines of code. Six years later it is still that laptop, which is more longevity than I expected for $200!

I moved my desktop computer out of the living room and back to my desk at home. Previously, we’d mainly used it to play games, but Steam Remote Play (and WiFi) has become good enough to stream to the TV in the living room. So I’m using it as a desktop again. Since I’ve mainly used low-power devices at home (a Pinebook Pro), it’s been amazing to have a machine that’s so responsive. The i7-12700K is … a lot more powerful than the RK3399 in the PBP, and 96GB RAM doesn’t hurt either.
