[Linux-aus] ARM laptops

I could get some cheap ARM laptops from China if there is interest.  $120 each 
for laptops with FullHD screen and the same SoC as the PinePhonePro.  It 
should be a quite OK laptop for low end use (web browsing, terminal, word 
processing, etc) and it's also a good development platform for work targetting 
the PinePhone series of devices and similar systems.

If we do this then once we get them to Australia you can collect them from me 
in Melbourne or Canberra, otherwise there will be local postage costs on top 
which might bring it to $140 per unit.

The devices in question will not be new but they will not have had much if any 
use.  Apparently they are part of a bundled deal in China where most customers 
want the other parts of the bundle and just sell the laptops cheaply.

I think that they are already running Linux but you would want to wipe them 
before use.  The installation instructions for the PinePhonePro should work.
