Comment on New Raspberry Pi 5 comes with PCIe 2.0 x1 interface and power button

I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Pine64 I bought from their Kickstarter. The thing lasted 4 months before it stopped booting. I have no faith in any subsequent products.

  There were reports that many of the original Pine64 Kickstarter boards had this bootloop problem. While I understand this was one of there first products, I still don't want to sink money into something when better and more stable options are available.

    If that’s true then they fixed any quality issues on subsequent boards, so you questioning the stability and quality of the current boards is no longer substantiated
    
    Meanwhile, anyone that supported their Kickstarter got screwed.
    
    but I’m curious what you would consider a more stable option?
    
    Why would I bother when you're obviously just going to pick it apart, just like you did with the Pi immediately after asking that question. You like the Pine64, great. Good luck with that. I won't touch them with a 10 foot pole. That's my opinion. Have a nice day.
