for laptops with FullHD screen and the same SoC as the PinePhonePro. It <br>
should be a quite OK laptop for low end use (web browsing, terminal, word <br>
processing, etc) and it's also a good development platform for work targetting <br>
the PinePhone series of devices and similar systems.<br>
<br>
If we do this then once we get them to Australia you can collect them from me <br>
in Melbourne or Canberra, otherwise there will be local postage costs on top <br>
which might bring it to $140 per unit.<br>
<br>
The devices in question will not be new but they will not have had much if any <br>
use. Apparently they are part of a bundled deal in China where most customers <br>
want the other parts of the bundle and just sell the laptops cheaply.<br>
<br>
I think that they are already running Linux but you would want to wipe them <br>
before use. The installation instructions for the PinePhonePro should work.<br>
