I suppose we can expect it to perform as well as a $99 tablet?

Yeah, probably about as well as any of the quicker RPi clones would, which is pretty decent for light tasks. $100 is about as much as you’d pay for one of those plus a touchscreen anyways, so it sounds like a fair deal.

I only have one Pine device, a Pinebook. The build quality seems good to me, it isn't just a collection of components thrown together.
