Back

@linmob but maybe thinner?

@insl Definitively! According to official websites, the difference is less than what it feels like: C101p 15.6 mm, PP keyboard 21.5 mm.

@linmob Nvm, saw the alt!

@swisscheese Yeah, it has a vertical screen and ... when you connect an external display, good luck ever turning that internal screen back on. My best guess so far is that the display needs a proper driver, it's really not much fun. nomodeset makes it more reliable, but also slower. I don't even know if it works better with Windows, I bought it without an SSD and thus did not try it with the copy of Windows these otherwise come with.

@Shatur A 8 inch Intel N100 device from AliExpress, much like this one: https://liliputing.com/this-350-mini-laptop-has-an-8-inch-touchscreen-display-and-an-intel-n100-alder-lake-n-processor/

@linmob Looks awesome! Do you like it?

On related news, I heard that Pine64 won't manufacture the PinePhone keyboard

@Shatur The P8? I would like to, but the experience so far has been worse than PPP + Keyboard, see https://fosstodon.org/@linmob/112266003846898693

So they discontinue the PinePhone Keyboard? Any source/chats I can read up on?

@linmob I read about it in the PinePhone chat. Search for "The keyboard is not in stock, and I assume not produced anymore for good reasons".

I personally hope that they bring keyboard back to stock because it improves the usability a lot.

@Shatur Thanks! Funeral is a good moderator, but I doubt they have inside info. I agree that it would be a loss, although I would appreciate Keyboard v2 with revised, more reliable main board and a better indication (led?) regarding "is this charging the device". (Also: backlit keys would be awesome, making it more generic (beyond PinePhone, by adding BT for keyboard and USB charging) would be lovely, and I would happy to pay way more for just a more reliable keyboard.)

@linmob @PINE64 @pine64eu I agree, I would also pay more for a better keyboard.
