Try mining cryptocurrency, running prime95, playing fps shooters, or even dota on high settings. You will notice the battery draining while plugged in. You also see it if you are on an airplane, but that is usually because the charger tries to pull too much and overheats and gives up ghost. Macbooks have underpowered chargers.

Are all other laptops you've seen potato? My Dell XPS 15", 130 watts.

I've got an old windows tablet with similar specs, old intel atom, 2GB ram. (linx1010b)

Its gathering dust because its so underpowered, could not find a use for it as a GUI user device.

I think some kind of kiosk / iot hub with display application could work, if you put in the effort.

So they wrapped some clam-shell around their SOPINE A64 COMPUTE MODULE?

Looks like Resterampe/left-over sale to me.

Come on, 2GB? In 2020?

I had 180W for my old HP laptop, and recently ~135W (or 170W) for Thinkpad W541. <100W adapters were mostly for potato laptops, until USB-C came into picture which supported up to 100W and now manfucaturers adapted (and probably wait for 200W PD).

Newer Dells pull 180W from a paired USB-C dock connector.

The Pine folks have been doing fantastic work over the last several years. Does anyone know of ways to support them other than buying products? I don’t really need these gadgets right now, and don’t have the time to tinker, but want to encourage the ecosystem from a long-term perspective. For example, I’d love to give them some money and become a long-term member/shareholder/something. I don’t really care for the rat…

You can help them by porting, authoring or fixing bugs in software (apps or drivers). This is one of the reasons they are providing devices at cost to the FLOSS community, and you can support them that way if you are so inclined.

If this had USB-C for charging I'd be really interested and would purchase. I can live with the rest of the specs.

I know USB-C has a bad rep but it is honestly just amazing having one charger that does everything. I don't want to regress from that
