I am an early adopter of a Pine product. I purchased the Pine64, a case, and some accessories. When I had problems with the product, the folks at Pine64 were completely silent and refused to communicate with me. It is possible that their customer service has improved since I last made a purchase. I will not test it and cannot recommend the Pine products. However, the idea of a $100 computer is tantalizing and I really hope they get their act together.

My board from them failed to arrive, and customer service never replied to a thing I said, but I did eventually get a refund... Without a reply.

I think it is quite often the case that some startup promises something for very cheap. Until they discover that support processes etc cost money too, and then the service pretty quickly goes bad, and maybe even the product doesn't launch.
