Last handful of

Buy now and have it shipped soon. NB. DHL shipments only.

We'd like to welcome Apple to the world of ARM-based laptops. You're a couple years late to the party, though, but better now than never? 😉
Announcement time:
We now have our own Matrix homeserver, and it is running on #RockPro64 hardware just like the rest of our online infrastructure! All our discussion/support channels have been moved to it as their main address.
Did I also mention it's open for user registration? 😊
You've waited long enough. The PineTab preorders are now open!
PineTab: https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinetab-10-1-linux-tablet
PineTab + keyboard: https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinetab-10-1-linux-tablet-with-detached-backlit-keyboard
Our main website is now on the RockPro64 Cluster as well! This mostly concludes our infrastructure move (though there's some file storage left to go...).
Thanks for your patience with any downtime or slowness you have have experienced over the past few hours!
The Pine64 forum (https://forum.pine64.org/) has now moved to its new home on our cluster, but the change may not have made it to your DNS server yet.
If you see the banner shown below, you are on the now active forum! If you see a message about read-only mode, DNS has not updated for you yet.
We're now in the midst of our transition to hosting all infrastructure on the #RockPro64 Cluster!
- Wiki (https://wiki.pine64.org) is now live from the cluster.
- Forum (https://forum.pine64.org) will begin its transition at 6pm UTC on June 9th. It will be in read-only mode until the transition is complete.
- Main Site (https://pine64.org) comments are already disabled, as it will be moved immediately after the forum.
Shipping update June 3.

Another #PinebookPro issue from the factory. 🤦♂️
If your newly arrived PBP will not boot, try booting from SD.
If it boots from SD, you may need to flip the "eMMC disable" switch in order for normal boot.
See our wiki for how to find and flip the switch: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro#Accessing_the_Internals_-_Disassembly_and_Reassembly
We know many of you are waiting for #PinePhone @ubports CE - it will be shipping very soon. Meanwhile, here are pictures taken the day production wrapped up. We're not going to spoil the phenomenal box design for this CE (by @cibersheep on Twitter) however, pictures don't do it justice.
Everyone receiving their #PinebookPro laptops:
It appears that the factory has left the WiFi privacy switches turned ON. (WiFi disabled) 🤦♂️
To enable WiFi you'll need to disengage the privacy switch: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro#Privacy_Switches
Our biggest ever production run of @PinebookPro is about to start shipping! Let's see how much everyone enjoys the @ManjaroARM build preinstalled on them. :)
Excited for the upcoming #PineTab?
We now have a subforum dedicated to it! Why don't you tell us about what you plan to do with that PineTab you're waiting to order? 😊
FYI:
The #PinePhone UBports Community Edition will be available for some time yet, but if you want your unit to ship this month, then place your order before the coming weekend. Just putting it out there for those on the fence so no one complains later :)
Here a bit of a fun comparison for all of you:
A #PinebookPro compared to a state of the art notebook from 2002.
Of course, the Pinebook Pro is so much faster too. 😉
The Pine64 website, forums, and more... soon coming to you from 24 #RockPro64 just like this. 😉
#PinebookPro spare parts are now available in the PINE64 Store. Link: https://store.pine64.org/?product_cat=pinebook-spare-parts
