Well you could plug a PinePhone on… pretty much anything with a USB-C dongle. I did plug it on a large (like… 70") screen and a mechanical keyboard and mouse mostly for testing purposes. It was cool. Still it felt under powered compared to even an entry level laptop modern laptop so… conceptually yes, in practice, meh.
You don’t think with the proper specs that it could behave much more akin to a modern laptop? Not to overhype or anything, but it feels like people have been waiting on something like this for a long time.
Absolutely but even their high end model has just a RK3588S 8-core 64-bit with a Mali-G610 MP4 … and that’s not exactly a powerhouse if you check benchmark with like an i7 which would already be several years old, not even high end.
This is not a “fair” comparison and yet, in practice if you sit down with that setup and you start to use Blender and Firefox with a tutorial running in the background, it’s going to feel sluggish quickly IMHO.

I suppose those are some valid reservations. I just think they’d be for different use cases anyway.
What would make you excited for something like this?
