@mike @PINE64 you pulled me in mike! I couldn't resist I got jealous that you would have one and sooo..... I bought one . Now I need to find a way to tell the wife .🤔

@GreyLinux This is how the conversation went at my house:

Me: Ooooo, the PineTab is available for pre-order! I'm buying one!
Her: OK.
Me: I'm getting the keyboard too.
Her: OK.

@PINE64

@mike @PINE64
I think mine will be a bit more like ,

Me : Just to let you know, I bought a ...
Her : what have you bought now that you don't need .

Me : think!, think!, think! ..... Well you can use it too . ( And then explain all the things it can do )

Her: rolleyes ! 🙄

@GreyLinux Heh, well I bought a Pixel C a few years back when they first came out, and I've been needing to replace it as I don't have a decent tablet anymore. That device is coming apart (literally), and is outside of the window for updates. When I bought it the cost was closer to $1000. The PineTab is barely over $100, and I'm hoping updates will be available for longer than the Pixel C's were.

Now, if I could just get @PINE64 to get more PineBook Pros back in stock I'd be set.

@GreyLinux I've also been keeping a pretty close watch on the CutiePi. It's supposed to hit crowd funding this month, and if it's in the $100-$200 range, I'll probably put a bid in on one of those too. They look like really interesting devices.

@mike wow this is the first I've heard of this , thanks for sharing mike , I'm looking into it now.

@GreyLinux Start thinking of your excuse to buy it now!

@Batcastle
This isn't a brave heart release I don't think
@PINE64

@zudn @PINE64 it appears to be centered on the home row.

@redcrate @PINE64
So it doesn't favor a right-hander?

@zudn @PINE64 I doubt it would. I do have laptops where the trackpad is not centered on the home row, generally they appear to be centered in the laptop frame and all it seems to do is cause me to brush it with my right plam when typing.
