The top-tier Pine64+ 2GB includes 2GB of RAM, priced at $29, plus $7 shipping to the US, $12 for the rest of the world.Īlthough this is a little esoteric for a hardware un-review, I would like to mention the mechanical layout of the Pine64. This version costs $19 USD, plus $7 shipping to the US, $12 for the rest of the world. The Pine64+ includes 1GB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and connectors for a camera, LCD, and a touch panel. The lowest tier, the one being reviewed here, is $15 USD with worldwide shipping. Right now, the Pine64 is available for preorder in three configurations. That’s surprisingly fast for a Kickstarter campaign, and not at all a knock at the Pine team. According to the Kickstarter campaign, this board should have shipped in February. This is the reward for pledging $15 to the Pine64 Kickstarter campaign. This un-review covers the least expensive Pine64, featuring a 1.2 GHz Allwinner A64, 512MB of RAM, Ethernet, HDMI, and two USB ports. Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the ‘Silicon Delta’ Hardware This post is not a review, as I can’t fully document the Pine64 experience. I pledged $15 USD to the Pine64 Kickstarter, and received a board with 512MB of RAM, 4K HDMI, 10/100 Ethernet and a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A53 CPU in return.
