Hex core (2-big 4-little) ARM64, 4GB ram, USB-C for charging, 1080P 14" LCD, this is actually not bad at all.

Also, your link doesn't work because you have pinebrook, not pinebook.

Thanks guys as my vision and typing skills arent real good these days. I also edited the title of the topic and the individual post titles to read Pinebook as well.
I thought this was right down your alley Capt.

I've looked at it, but like you, I think it's too pricey to consider given it's specs. It's decently good looking, but just nowhere near worth what they're asking IMO. Obviously I only ever looked at the 13" version, since everyone knows my well documented bias against 15" laptops.

You should get one of these PineBooks though, capt. For once have someone else doing a mini review of some hardware none of us have used!!
