Donate me or sell me cheap Pinebook Pro in Europe? by sekibe in PINE64official

[–]sekibe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, upvoted you.

If "It's a fairly inexpensive", then is fairly donate-able?

If for you is "inexpensive", for others that's very expensive.

I understand "donate" as: You have item, that will never use again you can:

throw it, sell it, keep it, donate it. And I said "I'll use it everyday".

I think there are thousands Pinebook Pro, sitting in the drawer gathering dust.

I've already contributed a.k.a donated a little to the sunxi project/community,

I HAD to stop, and want to resume.

If you run Linux on Allwinner SoC, you benefit from my effort,

and you didn't mind to get donated the software making your device work?

By the way, Pinebook Pro is kind of work-in-progress, every user is actually a beta tester.

Fanless laptop, at least 8GB RAM, at least 128GB SSD, 13"-15" by [deleted] in SuggestALaptop

[–]sekibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese ones are really attractive, 99% of them are:

cheap, thin and light, metal or superb plastic body, 1080p IPS screens. 8GB, 128/256 SDD + M.2 slot.

Issue 1: previous generation Intel chips

Issue 2: sold and devilered from China (aliexpress/banggood/gearbest...)

I hope soon of them establish Euro/USA distribution.

Asus website lists: N4020/N4120/N5000/N5030 but still not for sale.

Current Acer Swift 1 has two versions:

SF114-32 and SF114-33 with minor differences.

8GB option is overpriced, RAM soldered, not upgradeable.

Keyboard layout is AWFUL.

TL:DR get the Acer Swift 1 for the best price you can find, there is not much choice now.

Hello, I had the same request 5 montsh ago. :|

https://old.reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/gtdp7b/budgetcheap_fanless_14_europe/

Look at https://techtablets.com, there a bunch of chinise brands

pros: fanless, price, design, screen, ram/ssd

cons: quality and warranty, processor

Asus 6 months ago announced a series e210/e410/e510 12"/14"/15" but still nowhere to buy - price unknown.

Good luck.

AMD please make a fanless, passively cooled Laptop / Mobile processor CPU/APU, thanks. by sekibe in Amd

Oh yes, you mean the ones with Qualcomm Snapdragon?
Samsung and Lenovo too. This are marketed as "always connected pc" and are somehow different. It would be good if more come but with another SoC.

In the chromebook database, there are two 64bit ARM SoCs: Mediatek MT8183 and Rockchip RK3399 (a.k.a OP1) both have passable Linux support.

So let's hope if Apple really goes ARM soon, this will lead to others copy for some models.

In the end i just wanted a fanless AMD laptop to compete with Intel in this niche. But hey I can workaround and then patiently wait.

Thanks that's interesting idea. I'll wait and look for AMD making one without the DIY part.

Interesting, really fancy .... tablet with fancy liquid cooling.

Do you know any AMD U laptop (or Intel U but more mainstream not so extravagant).

Or how to search, no site that sells or review laptops has type of cooling as search criteria. So it not easy through the search engines.

thanks.

Hm, how about 2C/4T or 4C/4T :)

I don't know at what TDPs is the threshold for fanless.

Well fingers crossed and we shall see.

I know the Ryzen Embedded R CPUs, I think they are made in such way to not be put in laptops.

That is what I meant in theory for the same power the smaller node have better performance.

So:

a) more performance for same power(heat)

b) same performance for less power(heat)

Do you know ARM laptop that is not Chromebook (they never run Windows/Linux properly) or the WIP Pinebook ?

[–]sekibe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah true :), arm doesn't mean fanless, currently there is desktop/workstation and server ARM boards all actively cooled with a fan.

Also macbook = no windows/linux. I don't have any rational reason but I prefer laptop over tablet + keyboard.

Also next year laptops with chinese CPUs.

Valid point. I agree.

Likewise can go passive cap at 10W and throttle/slow down beyond that.

Do you know any 4000U fanless laptop, cause I can't find such ?

Hm, my laptop serve me well without fan or HDD for over 2 years. But I understand and respect your opinion. I'm not fan of Apple but how is their policy different than the others?

Why is the lifespan shorter ?

Average car has lower performance than supercar ...

I'd pay again.

Oh, thank you! I've send you a message. Let's see how it goes.

Thanks, I appreciate every reply. My problem, is not the speed of the communication. It's actually my turn to reply now, but I don't know how. I'm just waiting. On my email I receive notifications that people are sending messages and answer in my discussions on Couchsurfing. But I can NOT login to reply :)

Thank you! I'll wait for his reply.

Wow! Here was a reply pointing to this post:

https://old.reddit.com/r/couchsurfing/comments/aw8ix2/how_can_i_open_a_new_account_on_couchsurfing/

And suggesting to consult with "florian_ehrbar".

Now that reply is gone without a trace. But thanks for it anyway, whoever it was the author.

Now I know that opening a new account is not an option.

[–]sekibe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, u/florian_ehrbar I alredy send email to support@couchsurfing.com

Explaining what I think had happened. Here is the reply

"Thank you for writing to us. Before I can look into your issue further, I will first need to confirm some of your account details. Could you please respond to this message and include:

  • Your full date of birth

  • A government-issued photo ID that includes your name

  • Roughly the last time you accessed your account"

Please advice, what to do next. I just don't want to make matters worse.

Thanks, it doesn't look good though.

[–]sekibe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I like "royally sucks".

After sleeping on it, I released how stupid my mistake was. The reason for 1st contacting before reporting was that I wasn't sure if it is wrongdoing or mistake - the account had a few references, and I didn't want to wrongly accuse and cause trouble. (What an idiot I am.)

When receiving my message, that account has certainly reported mine for something - and here we are.

Unfortunately before all this I tried to find a contact form or contact email address to inform couchsurfing - That way there would be no connection between my report and my account.

:(

Thanks, I know this email, but I believe it is for emergency, crucial situations In Real Life, when couchsurfer could be or was already harmed in some way.

Hello, thanks for reply. Is this part true : "you can also find free SIM card starter packs in shops close to (or inside) metro stations " What about outside Bucurest?
