I've run guix on a pinebook and pine64+ which also have quad-core A53 (although from a different vendor and less RAM) and the CPU was quite slow... On the plus side, the A53 cores are immune to most spectre/meltdown attacks! > RAM: 4GB LPDDR4 memory > GPU: Vivante GC7000Lite GPU with mainline Linux drivers and OpenGL > 2.1, ES 2.0 > > (My other main worry is: that's pretty light on RAM these days...! > But hey, maybe incentive for me to cut the fat in the programs I use a > bit more...) 4GB is fairly useable with guix on the Pinebook Pro, though it has some faster CPU cores as well. > I am thinking of getting one and running Guix on it.

It's very tempting, but I have too many barely working experimental laptops already... and the price tag is a bit high. That the various parts are upgradable, at least in theory, is quite nice! I'd be curious what the power consumption profile is like at idle and full load... live well, vagrant --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRlgHNhO/zFx+LkXUXcUY/If5cWqgUCXrWqhQAKCRDcUY/If5cW qjuUAP9GF6pyrAJ6hOB4jw1TP+Cxw7FntfiTnVuEM+Zhh/qmvgD9EekiJND4faW8 VgT3/k5+pWYgQSgz0SYhINU/MpokoAw= =6Bya -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
