Title: Pine64's $15 ARM Laptop: Worth It or a Pipe Dream?

Just saw an article about Pine64's new ARM laptop that's rumored to be going for a whopping $15. I gotta ask, what makes this thing tick? Is it a viable option for those on a tight budget or just another gimmick?

I've been keeping an eye on the Pine64 Pinebook Pro and I have to say, for $15 it's a steal. The specs aren't mind-blowing, but it's a great option for a low-cost dev machine or a secondary laptop for streaming content. Has anyone else managed to get their hands on one?

Honestly, for $15, it's a steal if you ask me. I mean, I'm not expecting a MacBook Air or anything, but it's a basic laptop that's perfect for some low-key coding or browsing on the go. Has anyone here actually gotten their hands on one to share their thoughts?

I've been eyeing the Pine64 RockPro64, and while it's not exactly a laptop, it's a solid option for a tiny desktop or media center. I've heard mixed reviews on the Pinebook Pro, but if it's $15, it's worth a punt for the novelty alone. Would love to see some hands-on reviews to inform a purchasing decision.
