Wow. I reckon I have a ton of reading to do b4 pulling the trigger on one of these nifty little boards...
I also see that the Pine64 is still in the pre-production phase?
I am trying to have a "PC" compatible system while not spending a lot, and using less power than my current systems draw...and also not spending a ton of dough doing it.
In that regard, I do not see spending more than $35.00-$50.00 on the mainboard, as I can get a good refurbished quadcore computer tower with 4gb mam and 1tb storage with win7 for under $150.00...With a guarantee no less.
Thank All of you for helping me to see more than just Raspberry and arduino...now the fun begins....READING
Thanks again,
Doc
Edit: I was looking at the specs of the Pine64, and one thing caught my eye was the paragraph that says "PINE64 provides
almost full motion playback of up to 4K H.265 high-definition video.
WTF does that mean? It will play, but it will be pixelated, or choppy?
If my thinking is correct, "almost" only counts for hand grenades, horse shoes, and atom bombs...and in no way should it ever be used to describe a video output experience
