The Pinebook Pro is theoretically the kind of change I want to see in the hardware world, but the USB-C-to-HDMI disappointed me

Yeah, my PC has 16GB and it's contentedly purring along. The difference is quite noticeable when I browse YT with my 4GB ARM CPU Raspberry Pi. But the ARM platform is coming along. Just give it 2-3 years and it'll almost be on par with x86(maybe).

I'm using an ARM M1 macbook pro, also 16BG RAM, it is quite capable - longer battery life and wayyy less heat than my x86 macbook on heavy tasks, only downside is its a Mac - invasive OS and poor accessibility for repairs and such. I'll be happy to switch to an ARM/Linux when someone else can do it well enough
